5 out of 5 eggsWorth the money

Pros: I got this cooler because my stock fan didn't work well anymore. It is easy to install since you don't need to remove the motherboard to mount this.The fan has blue LED, so my case now looks amazing. It cools the CPU very well. Worth the money.

Cons: The package is thinner than i thought, anyway it arrived safe and sound.

Other Thoughts: Great update with a very reasonable price!

5 out of 5 eggsMix with arctic 5 and win!

Pros: Matches my Antec 900's LED's perfectly!
Lowered my IDLE Temp to 23-25c from 35!
Now 35-38c Under load from 55c, OC'D to 3.4 GHZ from 3.0, definitely going higher now.
Amazing difference!

Cons: A little difficult to install on AM2+ Socket, took a bit too much force to fasten in place, was concerned about bending my MOBO but it worked okay.

4 out of 5 eggsgreat bang-for-buck

Pros: This is a very decent cooler for a very competitive price. The entire cooler is very well made and thought out.
-Doesn't seem to have any clearance issue with motherboards/ram
-Blue LED fan
-uses HDT to maximize the value of each heat pipe
-easy mounting on all platforms
-it's not a huge cooler but big enough to deliver decent cooling
-it has a good enough fan that includes PWM control but does have some low pitched whine
-one fan comes preinstalled to make it a bit easier to install.
-Has some very simple and straight forward packaging.
-and the heatsink can potentially hold two fans and can use any normal framed fan.

Cons: The heatsink itself is very good but some sacrifices needed to be made in order to hit this price point
-The fan is very cheap and it shows if you just test its full range due to some whining issues and a slight imbalance that can cause excessive air/vibration noise.
-A second set of fan clips is not include for push-pull
-Their are better performers out there (for a higher price)
-no instruction booklet or manual, just some instructions on the box which should be fine for most people but can be troublesome for first timers. (That said, installation is simple)
-The mounting hardware is not the most robust I have ever seen, more specifically the AMD and 1156 mounting.
-I don't mind it but it may effect some people that it only mounts in the usual orientation (airflow from side to side)

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Choice!

Pros: The GAMMAXX 400 is a great choice for those that want to step up from the stock CPU cooler. If you are having heat issues then you need to consider this. It will drop your temps a good 10 or so degrees over stock. The nice large fan is pretty quiet (even at load) compared to other coolers I have tried. Its slim and not too tall so should fit in most standard cases (always remember to check the clearance when picking a case and cooler!). The fan lights up blue as well (I would have preferred red or white).

Cons: I would rather not use plastic hold downs for Intel. They should include a better tie down system and charge a few more dollars.

Other Thoughts: Overall - great cooler for a good price.

5 out of 5 eggsLove it

Pros: Keeps my i7 4770K 10 degrees cooler than stock heat sink and 20 degrees cooler under 100% load with prime95. I saw some reviews stating a 2 degree temp difference, they must be high! One review complained about the brittle plastic mounts, I also messed up om the first try and didn't get the anchor properly seated but I "uninstalled" it and bent the white plastic back into shape (not brittle at all) and re installed it. I highly recommend you do this with your pc laying on its side.

Cons: Your kidding right!

Other Thoughts: Like other people I would like to add another fan to make a push pull configuration so I emailed the manufacturer but like so many overseas company's I got no reply...
Still I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a solid cpu cooler.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat cooling for a low price

Pros: I installed this in place of a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, which works very well and keeps my Intel I7 3770 idling at 38*C with Arctic Silver 5 applied. This cooler maintained that same temperature at idle...I was surprised, because of how popular and highly rated the Cooler Master is on Newegg! I played Far Cry 2 for an hour or so and the processor never got above 55*C! I edited video and multi-tasked doing lots of different applications and that's as high as it got. It's very quiet even under load.

Cons: I took off an egg because I very much dislike the stupid plastic twist anchors for the Intel processors that this uses. A cooler this large should use a backing plate and screws to attach to the board, not the flimsy plastic things that get damaged easily. Also, the wire clips to hold the fan on seem kind of flimsy, also.

Other Thoughts: Besides the two small items I mentioned, this cooler works great and I would recommend it to anyone trying to save a few dollars and still get a product that does the job!

4 out of 5 eggsNice heatsink

Pros: Installed this on a i5-4690k to replace the stock intel assembly, the unit performs far better as would be expected.

Physically the unit was well packaged and arrive in nearly perfect condition (1 slightly bent and easily fixed fin, I find this pretty common with this style cooler). The construction feels solid, details wise it's clean and of high quality manufacturing.

One thing I particularly like is the added fins on the top of the base plate, while this probably doesn't make much measurable difference in operating temperatures it's not finned on most in it's class and I like seeing the little thoughts.

The bottom of the plate has a large "white" sticker that says removed, on most it's clear and I have seen my share of computers where the builder forgot to remove it.

The undercut on the fin array does allow some extra room which is nice as it can be tight on some mainboards, granted the fan is still 120mm however it leaves some room where it can be made. Due to where it is cut, it as well affects the cooling capability marginally.

The pipes are well finished, fins are smooth and with another set of fan hooks you can mounts another fan for push/pull.

One thing I always like to test on coolers like this is fanless operation. Due to the relatively high amounts of airflow otherwise in my case it was capable of keeping my chip in safe temperatures while playing BF4 and Diablo 3 for a few hours, peaked 80c, no throttling. (Don't try this at home unless you know what you are doing)

Cons: Rubber mounts would be nice to eliminate any noise that can come with clips, but there are some small rubber blocks on to avoid frame resonance with the cooler. (I didn't experience any noise, the clips are very tight)

The LEDS are a bit brilliant for my taste, I'll likely spray them with a frosting to dull them out a bit, as well as replace the fan. The included fan isn't bad, it's pretty quiet and moves a fair bit of air, but I'm going to be in need of something a bit more powerful for my overclocking.

The base plate could be soldered to the heatpipes, the gaps between the pipes and plate walls are not as thin as I would expect, I generally fill these gaps with some thermal paste. (A little on top of the plate and wipe it with a straight edge, I generally use small plastic cpu case.)

Other Thoughts: Overall this is a great unit and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a high performance cooler, best part yet it fits almost any moderately current socket and the mounting hardware is pretty easy, instructions are not great, I didn't even look and it was on in 10 minutes.

Price/Performance this cooler fits right in the mix and I'd even be so bold as to say one of the better ones.

4 out of 5 eggsSolid cooler

Pros: This cpu cooler was packaged well and there were no broken parts on arrival. I installed it on a AMD FX-4300 AM3+ board. The large size made it a bit difficult to put on but with a little planning it was pretty easy. After cleaning the old thermal paste off the cpu I dry fit it to make sure it would fit in the case and make sure the fan was facing in the right direction. All the mounting brackets were included and the fan was pre-mounted, which from other reviews I have seen I'm pretty happy I didn't have to fiddle with the fan. The mounting bracket for this cooler worked Excellent! I held the bracket up and didn't understand how it was going to fit, but after It was actually mounted to the cooler and I connected it, I was super impressed. It held the fan on tight, but not so much I felt it was going to damage anything. Performance. I was not super impressed with the performance of this cooler. Using HWmonitor I checked the temps before and after installation and for me I didn't notice much of a temp drop from the stock cooler. see cons. The fan on the cooler was quite, I loved the blue lights and the price range makes this a great option for a cooling solution.

Cons: The directions were not very good. They were not bad. I have just seen better. My temps didn't drop very much from the stock cpu cooler. I was a little confused, but at idle the fan would only spin in spurts. I wanted to make sure the fan was not broken so I ran prime95 to get the cpu nice and hot then the fan kicked on and spun constant for about a half hour till I shut prime95 off. Its interesting how the stock cpu fan spun all the time, it must have been struggling to get the job done, where as this cooler was so big the fan barely needed to spin. I'm not sure that's a con. I would prefer the fan be spinning all the time.

Other Thoughts: I enjoyed testing this fan. I have had other fans like this and hated them because of how poorly they mounted to the motherboard. I would surely recommend this fan to anyone looking for an inexpensive cooler.

3 out of 5 eggsDecent Cooler

Pros: ~Love that this lower end cooler chose to go the route of using heat pipes. This significantly helps dissipate heat that is generated while under load.

~Very lightweight, this affords users the capability to install this in a case without having to remove the motherboard to install a backplate.

~Integrated mounting system can be utilized by a wide variety of motherboard/processor configurations

Cons: ~ being lightweight has its downfall in that it feels and is rather flimsy. The fins are not soldered/welded onto the heat pipes and if one is not careful can easily damage and remove them. Upon my initial install on my motherboard I managed to remove two sections of the fins, I simply put them back on after straightening them out.

~ The fan mount is very flimsy as well, Instead of using the supplied wire I chose to use my fan silencer which is a piece of rubber that mounts to the fan holes and slips in between the fins of the cooler. I have used similar silencers in the past with great success but ran into the issue of the fins separating and coming loose just from the pressure of the rubber being wedged in between them. In the end I did use the supplied fan mount clips but was quickly put off by the annoying rattle of the fan against the heatsink when fully spooled up.

~ Last but not least the supplied instructions are rather weak and in certain mounting situations the supplied mounting methods may or may not work for everyone and it also would leave others to wish it included a rear mounting plate for a more solid install to the motherboard and cpu.

Other Thoughts: I personally use water cooling for all my PC's, I have been put off by air cooling years ago when I had a motherboard crack due to the massive heatsink that was used. In that instance the heatsink even used a rear mounting plate but the shear weight still managed to damage the motherboard.
This cooler would have possibly changed my mind to switch back to air cooling due to its lightweight design, but when its all said and done it does not keep my CPU any cooler than my water cooling did, which of course is to be expected. But I am an avid overclocker and I like to tinker with my computer setup all the time so for a stock computer this would be an ideal starter cooler, but, if you like to overclock I would look elswhere. There are plenty of other air coolers on the market that are capable of supporting stock and overclocked configurations so just keep an eye out for those and if all else fails there is always watercooling solutions that can appeal to everyone
