This review is from: ARCTIC COOLING Silencer64UltraTC L 87mm CPU Cooler
Pros:
Looks nice, easy install. Using this with an AthlonX2 4200+ - My cpu temps have never hit above 50C no matter what I throw at it. Very quiet. Blue LED's match case lighting scheme for a nice look. Sleeved power cable. Comes with grease and a sticker. Great for the price.
Cons:
Low fan speed requires you to diable cpu fan speed warnings. But the documentation says the fan may slow down or even stop due to the onboard temp probe, so ok - No biggie - I can tell by my temps that this thing is working fine. Included grease is kinda sticky.
Overall Review:
People that have 50C idle temps with this thing must have no case fans installed or something. With 4 case fans and this thing, I'm idling in the low 30's. If you don't like blue LED's don't buy. If you don't tie up your cables neatly in your case, watch for the open fan (and learn to use wire ties.) Heatsink is large but not massive. No problems on A8N5X or A8N-SLI boards.
