Rosewill RCX-Z80-AL 80mm Sleeve CPU Cooler

Pros: Quiet, well made.

Cons: None

Pros: Works well enough, fits in slimmer cases, fairly quiet, sturdy build.

Cons: Not the most efficient of coolers but not bad.

Other Thoughts: I put this on an older AMD 6400+ Black edition. They're known to be a little on the warm side. I bought this one to replace the giant heatsink and perpendicularly mounted fan attached to it so I could switch the motherboard into a Home Theatre PC. The old cooler kept the CPU under 39 deg C, this one touches 42 on occasion but since the chip is designed for a max of 50 deg C that's not too much of an issue. Does the job in a much smaller space.

Pros: Looks like a well made piece of equipment. I couldn't use it as it was the wrong size for my processor.

Cons: none couldn't try it had to RMA and order the correct one (I hope.)

Other Thoughts: One has to be careful when ordering to make sure it doesn't cost more than the published price overall.

Pros: Fit my Asus Gamer Republic mother-board
also was an very easy installation
CPU fan easily upgraded if you want an led fan

Cons: none so far

Other Thoughts: I belive this item is a good buy if you are looking for a Heatsink and CPU fan and with this you could easily upgrade and your loss wouldn't be so high.

Pros: inexpensive. ready applied thermal grease. easy to install. quiet. keeps my athlon 2 x4 about 38c. I'm not an overclocker

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: i wouldn't fidget and keep uninstalling and reinstall the cooler. don't bracket and lever mechanism doesn't look super durable

Pros: Fan is quiet and works great!! Can't beat it for the price. Currently cooling my Amd 965 Black Edition 3.4 Ghz with no issues.

Cons: Zero!!!

Pros: - quiet
- keeps phenom x2 at 37 - 38 c idle with arctic silver thermal compound
- fits in perfectly
- nice heatsink

Cons: - None

Pros: Good cooler. Plenty of aluminum to dissapate heat.

Cons: 3-pin power connector instead of 4-pin. But the fan is quiet enough so that's not a deal killer.

Other Thoughts: Great deal if you pick up an Athlon chip OEM. I might consider a beefier cooler for a Phenom or FX.

Pros: Amazing performance for the price. Performs as well as coolers that cost three times its price!

Cons: A bit noisy when fan runs at 100%. I configured my motherboard BIOS to run the fan at lower speeds in order to reduce noise. Now it is very quiet.

Other Thoughts: Used with Athlon X4 630. This works well with AM3 socket CPUs.

Pros: Needed a cheap heatsink to replace an old athlon 64's one on an am2 board and it keeps the temp cool less then 30C on idle and about 40C under load.

Cons: no copper pipes but you get what you pay for

Other Thoughts: Get something a little more expensive if you plan to run a newer or power hungry CPU such as a bulldozer with this cooler its just not meant for it and besides you get what you pay for.
