Step up from your stock cooling fan and heatsink to the Sunbeam CR-CCTF. Supporting both Intel (LGA 775) and AMD (socket 754, 939, AM2) platforms, it will take care of your high-end processors. It has 4 large exposed 8mm pure copper heatpipes at its base which directly contact the CPU for highly efficient thermal conduction, plus the array of hi-grade aluminum fins and silent 120mm fan provide the cooling performance you need to keep your desktop running at its peak.
Easily install the included fan speed control into your case's PCI slot, and you can control the cooling performance and fan noise level anytime. It doesn't matter how much heat your CPU generate, you'll have trouble preventing it from getting frosty!

Nice price, terrible performance!
- Pros: Nice price, awesome shipping [somehow it arrived in less than 2 days from La Puente, CA]!
Nice reviews-and that is why I bought it!
Nice box, excellent marketing data!
Nice fan controller!
Excellent price [this baby came with a $25 rebate = $14.99]!
Installation was a a nightmare! Other posters mentioned it but I thought for sure I could take my time and make it work well.
Instead of soaring with eagles, I definitely was left scratching with the chickens! Cluck, cluck, cluck!
- Cons: I purchased this Sunbeam CR-CCTF because I thought it would give me significantly better temps than the Arctic Freezer Pro 7. The Arctic Freezer Pro 7 was running about 3 degrees hotter than my ZeroTherm Zen FZ1205 in my other rig.
What a huge nightmare this turned to be! One word describes it all: OUCH!
1. This cooler would not fit on my GA-EP43-DS3L...I had to [and was willing to sacrafice because I expected much better temps] cut 3 cooling fins off the heat sink on the MB for this baby to fit [thus canceling my 2 year warranty].
2. No matter how hard I tried not to, the MB was significantly bent during install due to incredibly tight clips.
3. When all was said and done, the temps were actually significantly HIGHER than the Arctic Freezer Pro 7.
4. Fan mounting items totally flimsy and I could not center the fan no matter how hard I tried. Terrible engineering!
Final thoughts: WHAT A HUGE LET DOWN AND WASTE OF TIME AND $$$. Don't duplicate my mistake!
- Other Thoughts: What began as an exciting project with a much anticipated lowering of CPU temps turned into one of the greatest computer nightmares/disappointments of my life.
I took it for granted that when a CPU cooling heat sink is much larger, then my CPU temps will be significantly reduced. What a big mistake!
- Pros: Nice big beast. Was looking forward to using it based on other users comments and reviews... but see below
- Cons: Will not fit on the gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P board. This is why I gave it one egg.
