"The best choice in value" is the Rosewill’s corporate mantra. Rosewill produces quality CPU coolers with best in class performance while keeping to an affordable price point. Designed specifically for AMD Socket 754, 939 and AM2 processors, the RCX-Z940-SL combines multiple features into a package that performs equally as well as higher-priced units but at a fraction of the price.
A vertical stack of large dimension aluminum convection fans are supported – and penetrated by – 3 copper heatpipes which rise out of the base. The base itself is copper to maximize thermal transference from the CPU's heat spreader. The pipes draw the heat up from the base for dispersion by the cooling fins which are cooled by the over 46 CFM of air moved by the 92mm long-life fan.
With an 80,000 hour service life, the fan will provide many years of reliable service. Its maximum speed of 2100 RPM only generates 27.45 dBA of noise and its PWM functionality lets the system's BIOS monitor the fan's speed as well as the thermal need of the CPU and adjust the fans speed lower during reduced computing cycles.

- Pros: Excellent cooling, kept CPU below 50C during testing. Heat sink is so well built, I may remove the fan and build a duct to my case fan, for more quieting.
- Cons: Loudest component of my built for silence system, until I turned its speed down to about 50%.
Nice Cooler
- Pros: It had a simple install and seems pretty durable i have seen a 16 point decrease in temp. Was not expecting that. I plan on overclocking my chip, so this should give me the air flow that i need.
- Cons: I would prefer it to fit a little snugger, but as long as the temp stays down i should be good.
