Dynatron A43/A43G 70mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: Works for what you need to do. Nice that it came with thermal paste.

Cons: Loud

Pros: Easy to install, Good price, small and compact fits my MB Tyan s2877

Cons: Really inefficient, very loud in a 12x12 room idle temp is 40c full load up to 51c with silver compound. The worst of it they flex a little and feel really flimsy, base is really rough on them about 70microns, not acceptable the surface should be with a smooth mirror finish, only 2 really small heat pipes on the inside. I would not recommend.

Other Thoughts: Would recommend ALPHA PAL8150M81 for dual opteron system if you can find them.

Pros: IT IS A GOOD CHEAP ALTERNATIVE.

Cons: IT HAS NEVER REACHED ITS ADERTIZED 5800 RPM@ 42 DEGREES, IT HAAS NEVER EVEN REACHED 5OOO

Other Thoughts: i ONLY PURCHASED THIS ITEM BECAUSE THE RECOMENDED FANSPEED ON THE MOTHERBOARD WAS 4500 AND WELL ALTHOUGH IT KEEPS THE PROCESSOR COOL I AM DISSAPOINTED THAT IT HAS NEVER REACED ITS ADVERTIZED SPEED

Pros: Its an awsome heatsink for the money. My cpu runs less than 100f at idle and no more than 120f at 100% use. Even handles cooling very well when its overclocked!! It was also an easy install on the ECS socket 754 motherboard with no modifications. Took less than 2 minutes to install. Awsome cooler!!

Cons: The only downfalls is that you are limited to the positions to face the fan. (only up or down) but then again its not really an issue unless you have a seriously cramped computer case then try and make the best decision on what position the cooler is going to breath better.

Other Thoughts: Dont waist money on big expensive coolers when you can get this one for cheap and it really does the job. Cooling may also vary depending on the processor you have but it works and fits awsome on the socket 754 AMD Athlon 64 3200!! Its all the cooling you need even if overclocked!!

Pros: This product keeps your processor nice a cool for its price. Had a little trouble with mounting it. I took out those dumb spring screws and used some other screws I had. The spring screws didn't go deep enough for me to mount it to the mobo.

Cons: Had to mod it.

Pros: Nice lightweight cooler for an A64 3200+ socket 754. Comes with thermal paste. Excellent packaging, as always

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Used for a kids light gaming build for Christmas. Keeps the Athlon cool as a cucumber even at a slight overclock.

Pros: lite ,easy install good cooling overall

Cons: should have a copper base ,and will not fit 939 socket on lanparty m/b's.lower plate will hit the chip tip's on underside of board and will not set flush with board.this is a big bad problem i ran in to.

Other Thoughts: two type's of plate's .1- flat, 1- with a recessed around socket areaa.

Pros: OK, everyone is allowed a bad day. I gave this a lower rating due to a mod I thought it needed to fit correctly. Not the case, I messed up. It fits correctly, I just looked at it wrong.
"Sorry dynatron"

Cons: I usually throw away the instructions anyway, but this time I wish it had them so I could have double check.

Other Thoughts: SEE REVIEW "BANG FOR BUCK"
This is a re-review.

Pros: Low Price, very Quiet, good size, above average cooling ability at this price point. If it were not for the mod I had to do to my socket 754 (amd64 3200+) to get it to fit correctly, I would have given it 5 stars!!!

Cons: Thermal compound useless, modifications required on socket 754 in MSI#7207 motherboard. I would not recommend for a socket 754. Look at something that has a more traditional plate for the 754 (like the Thermaltake Venus 7+ 70mm) which I have owned as well.

Pros: Very easy to install. None of that press and pray with the screw on fastening system. So far it's quiet and my Athlon64 4000+ is stable idle and under load.

Cons: No instructions included. Fairly straight forward install, but it would be nice to know if your instincts are right or not. The included thermal paste is useless.

Other Thoughts: Overall a good cooler for the money.
