Keeps CPU Cool
Pros: -Cools Phenom II x4 @ 4GHz around 50c -Not too small not too big -Full Copper Heatsink
Cons: -Cuts on fingers from installing -Felt like I was going to break my CPU from installing
Overall Review: Replaced my 120mm Arctic Cooling A30 because that was a piece of junk and I wanted space for 4 more 120mm fans on my Antec Lanboy Air case. The Zalman actually cooled significantly better then the AC A30 so I am very happy with my purchase
meh
Pros: -Installation was so easy, none of this nonsense cheap mechanism to hold it down. The heatsink is held down by mounting plates and screws, the way every heatsink SHOULD be installed. -Low idle temps
Cons: -Full load temps were exactly the same as stock phenom II x4 heatsink. Reinstalled the heatsink 5 times cleaning the heatsink and cpu with alcohol, changed airflow techniques, different thermal paste but nothing helped what so ever. -Can't even fit ultra thin 120mm x 12mm case fans in Antec Lanboy Air case with this heatsink
Overall Review: For the sake of fitting 4 120mm case fans on my case side panel, I went for a Zalman 92mm heatsink/fan that ended up cooling the cpu much better then this one
Pros: -Pushes a lot of air at full speed -Quiet at low speed -Bright LEDs
Cons: -I don't really like the adjusting switch that comes with the fan but that's entirely opinion and not worth docking off an egg =]
Overall Review: -Some people might find it too loud at full speed but noise doesn't bother me at all (I actually like the sound of a machine running hard) -I had assumed that these were the same as the ones that came with the Antec Lanboy Air but they are slightly brighter and but also slightly faster it just kinda brings out my OCD so I might even switch out the stock lanboy air fans for these lol
Ultra Thin!
Pros: -Pushes a decent amount of air for what it is -Very quite -Excellent for cases that support fans behind the mobo
Cons: None
Overall Review: Could also be good for people with 120mm cpu fan/heatsink (I own a 92mm so it wasn't a problem for me)
Pros: -Easy access to adjusting fans -Monitor internal temp of your case*note* -Makes your rig look more sweet
Cons: None
Overall Review: Regarding the note, never use this temperature for hardware. Use this to determine the temperature inside of your case to help show you where you might need more airflow. I have found these sensors are usually 10-15C lower then what the actual temps I got from the motherboard.
Simple Wireless KB/M
Pros: -Great for watching youtube/netflix while laying down -Simple, I love simplicity -Great battery life
Cons: None
Overall Review: No caps/num/scroll lock lights which I thought was kinda weird, not a problem but I guess they wanted to squeeze every amount of battery life they could get from it so why waste it on small lights lol?
