Good, silent solution
- Pros: Cools well, looks nice, multiple installation options, tons of surface area. Lightweight aluminum a plus, as well as a great anodizing job.
- Cons: Relatively large footprint, installation can be a tad tricky.
- Other Thoughts: I had this installed on the northbridge of an ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 for 6 months before simply upgrading to a new board. It did a much better job than the stock cooler, even with a modest 133Mhz FSB overclock.
The installation can be a bit tricky, especially if you have large fingers. The mounting hardware needs to be precisely aligned before securing it to the cooler (the parts are interchangeable depending on your setup), so the process can involve some trial and error if you don't happen to have very good spatial perception. Overall, though, this is a small price to pay for both the versatility and the great cooling performance.
VERY NICE LOOKING
-
- Pros: This is a very nice looking heatsink and it's one reason I purchased it. I have an oem MSI P6N platinum and it came with an ugly plain looking heatsink. I wanted to dress it up a bit and better heat dissipation which it does.
- Cons: Those tiny screws, is there a better way?
- Other Thoughts: Watch the video I uploaded so you may see how it looks after installation in my motherboard. Enjoy!
Waste of money and time
- Pros: The purchase of this product indirectly led to me finally cleaning up and organizing the cables on my AMD3800+ SC box that is now transitioning to a support role (downloads and file server).
- Cons: Poor fit and finish. Fan comes with 2 sets of brackets, push pin and hoop. One of the hoop brackets was deformed. The brackets are attached to the heatsinks via small bolts that you need to thread through a channel on the heat sink. Unfortunately the bolts do not quite fit in the channel and make adjustments impossible without machining it yourself.
After finally getting it on to a Chaintech VNF4 Ultra mobo, northbridge temp readings went from up 2c over the stock Chaintech silver passive heatsink. (see other comments)
- Other Thoughts: I cannot comment nor rate the cooling performance of this heatsink because it was not in the PC long enough for the thermal compound to cure. It does not fit well in a Chaintech VNF4 other board as it protrudes over the SATA ports and in my had to be placed at a slight angle to avoid the mounting brackets of a Zalman Vid(VF700) Card cooler. Between the mounting hardware not sliding properly on the cooler preventing fine tuned placement and the awkward angles used to get it to fit, the cooler never quite sat properly and was easily disturbed.
If you MUST get this poorly made cooler, pay close attention to the dimensions and make sure there is no possibility that it will interfere with other components on the motherboard.
