COOLER MASTER RR-CCH-L9U1-GP 92mm Hyper TX2 CPU Cooler

Pros: This is a good cooler, comparable or superior to many more expensive CPU coolers. It's Easy to install, once you know how. The plastic enclosure helps it cool the motherboard in addition to the CPU.

Cons: At first, it was a pain in the --- to install this onto a Socket 775. I spent about 20 minutes with no luck. Then, I finally figured out that you can remove the plastic part with the fan from the heatsink and base. After that, it was simple.

Overall Review: The main reason I wrote this review is to help people with installing it. To make it much easier, carefully slide the plastic part up and off of the metal heatsink part. This should make it much easier to put direct pressure on the pins and get them locked onto the motherboard. Once the heasink is locked in place, slide the plastic part back on. You will probably bend a couple of fins, but they are easily bent back.

Pros: High performance reviews, almost silent running, and provides decent cooling but....

Cons: fans seems prone to crack and then it makes alot of racket. The fan scrapes the sides as it spins.

Six were purchased at same time, they all broke within a month. Four of the replacements died within a six week period. The last two I gave up on, snafu.

Overall Review: I suggest skipping, these were well taken care of and not a "lan" pc where they are always moved.

I have written these off as a loss and moved on.
