COOLER MASTER RR-H101-22FK-RI 80mm Long life sleeve bearing CPU Cooler

Pros: dropped my temps a few degrees. I have a mild overclock and my temps were high. Installed this and it was better than the stock cooler.

Cons: It is big. Bigger than I expected.

Pros: Bought this CPU as my first purchase for my budget build. Kind of regretting it but at the same time I got what I paid for. It's cheap and gets things done. Keeps things at a cool 39 degrees after buying a second fan for it.

Cons: I bought this thinking that push pins be a great idea. I was totally off.. It was a pain to get it on and I was deathly afraid it would fall off after reading one review. But after a couple tries and elbow grease i got all to lock in place. The pins are pretty cheap and flimsy.. While installing it I managed to bend one of the tips so it wouldn't go in right.. But the pliers got them back straight again.

Other Thoughts: I'd totally buy this again if they had ones with screws instead of clip-ons. For the price its a great budget cooler or for a quick replacement. I'd save $15 more and get the Hyper 212 though

Pros: Very affordable. I installed this as a stock heat-sink replacement for a customer. After a year of use it still performs very well.

Cons: Push pins!? I ordered an optional back plate that uses screws. That particular item is discontinued now.

Other Thoughts: With a back plate and screws rather than push pins this will give great service. If you choose to use the push pin assembly expect this cooler to eventually fall off.

Pros: Better than the pointless stock fans vendors like to ship with their cpus.
Not a giant car radiator like its cousin from the same company.

Cons: I installed this in socket 1155 configuration, it felt like a ridiculously tight fit.

Other Thoughts: Be mindful of your ram's proximity.

Pros: Small enough to fit most oem mid size towers.
Heat pipe design.
Good price.

Cons: Alinement not real good,never liked push pins.
Copper pipes to high,had to lap the heat sink so it was flat.

Other Thoughts: I bought this for a 95 watt cpu so it was right at the design limit of the heat sink.Chaged fan to 3600 rpm,lapped bottom for better contact. 137F full load, not to bad for the money !

Pros: I recently built my older brother a budget gaming computer and of course he needed some better-than-stock CPU cooling. He is using a mid-size tower with no room for one of those gigantic heatsinks that weigh 10 pounds, but this seemed perfect. And it is! His CPU stays within 30-40 degrees C even at maximum load. I paired this with Arctic Cooler thermal paste to get the best results.

Cons: The installation was pretty tricky and frustrating. Unlike the bigger Cooler Master CPU coolers - I have one in my full-size tower - this one has four separate metal brackets such that each one must be attached and aligned separately. It was so much easier with just two metal brackets. I also had a HUGE amount of trouble with the push-pins. I never have before, but these particular push-pins seemed to be a little too short! I had to push so hard to get them in that I honestly thought I was going to break the motherboard. Not mention one of the pins was kinda...broken. It didn't want to lock down no matter what I did. After 30 minutes I finally installed this thing, but I've never had so much trouble installing a CPU cooler.

Other Thoughts: It's a good product, but installation was a huge pain. So this cooler has its drawbacks. I don't know if I can recommend it.

Pros: Came in great condition as usual per Newegg.
Reasonable price.

Cons: -Didn't work for me.

Other Thoughts: I ordered this to replace a fan for an antique HP system that my dad gave me to screw around with. The system still runs great but because it is a P4 dual core it runs stupid hot. After doing quite a bit of research I saw that this would be compatible with the motherboard. However, no matter how much I tried, I could not get the little plastic clips on the heatsinc to go INTO the motherboard. It certainly appeared that they would line up but I tried for at least an hour at all different angles and I just couldn't get the heatsinc in. I gave up and had to return it. Sucks but I don't really hold newegg accountable for this so I only took one egg off.

Pros: When it stays mounted, it drops the temperature of my PC anywhere between 10 and 20 degrees C.

Cons: The mounts are terrible. Fastened them in, tested to see the heat sink was snug. Used my machine for a day and a half approximately, and I noticed my machine began to get hot. Then, it powered off without warning. So, I opened the bad boy up and the heat sink was about ready to fall off. I've re-secured it twice now and it won't stay snug. I'll probably have to buy something else because the flippin mounts sucks.

*Would not currently recommend product based off of experience.*

Other Thoughts: Pretty upset with this purchase. I have never had this type of issue with a heat sink before. Given the other ratings, I'm guessing my unit is defective, and if I have to remount secure it again I'll probably examine it more closely to check.
