Noticeable quite than the old stock cooler 05/20/2016
This review is from: AMD Athlon X4 860k with AMD Quiet Cooler Quad-Core Socket FM2+ 95W AD860KXBJASBX Desktop Processor
Pros:
The 860k is a great budget gaming CPU (I've probably built 6-8 builds with them). The quiet cooler is a HUGE improvement over the old stock cooler. I decided to test it myself so I have two identical builds beside each other. I cant notice the quiet cooler over the case fans and gpu while the old cooler has a high pitch whine that is fairly annoying.
Cons:
Not many cons besides the fact fm2 socket doesn't really offer and upgrade path beyond this CPU.
