ASUS Lion Square 92mm Vapo Bearing CPU Cooler

Pros: Put it on an AMD 7750 2.7 overclocked to 2.9. With the stock cooler it was running at 55c idle and low 60's loaded. Put this in and idles at 35 and never goes about 41. Love it. will soon be putting it on a 9950 AMD and will see what it does there.

Cons: kind of large. put on and microATX asus board and had no problems with it hitting anything.

Pros: Excellent cooling and quiet on a 9600 Phenom. Nice blue glow.

Cons: none

Overall Review: May get in the way of 2 of your memory slots so install memory before this. Also can be a bit tricky securing the second tab. Overall not bad.

Pros: I had this on a Asus M3N78-EM board with a 7750 AMD and it ran at 35-41. Now I put it on my new built, Asus Crosshair Formula II, AMD 9950. Runs great and cool. Next I am going to try it on the new AM3 955 and see how it works.

Cons: Nothing major, if you have tall RAM you may run into issues of hitting the cooler.

Overall Review: I have everything in a mid tower and it didnt have a lot of air flow through it. I have 2 Sparkle 9800GTX+ cards, 3 HDD and an optical. So I have a lot of stuff in a small case and a lot of heat so I was having some heat issues but most was in the MB. I put some 140mm fans in and this heatsink and the 9950 runs at 35-45 and the MB runs at 32-38.

Pros: I would first like to say, alot of people who reviewed this item were unable to understand the instructions. I can clearly read English and the instructions had this cooler on the mainboard in about 5 minutes. Asus did a great job on the quality of the cooler. I have owned other fin type cpu coolers ( Zalman, OCZ Vendetta, etc) and these fins are pretty resistant to bending and flexing. Cooling of the Quad Q9550 that I purchased here from the Egg, the CPU idles around 18c and on load about 28c. With an enclosed case this fan doesn't make much noise at all. I can barely hear it apart from the power supply fan and the Dvd-rw drive seeking. The CPU fan does have blue LEDs on it but they do not glow very brightly. Someone with a windowed case might want more "effects" if they were to showcase their computer. Overall very good product and will purchase again ifi I need to cool down another Quad core.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Buy this product if you need to overclock your Quad core, this will keep it as cool as air-cooled can make it.

Pros: Heatpipes and CPU are well made. No need to lap unlike other less expensive coolers. Very good looking. The appearance is almost enough to attract any buyer/builder. LEDs are subtle, some may find this a con but the case I put it in wasn't supposed to be blind your eyes bright. Keeps my C2D OCed @ 3.6 at just under 55 C full load. Idle it runs at around 38-40 but mostly due to my ambient temperature (I live in Florida humidity).

Cons: As everyone else mentioned in earlier posts about the size. I wouldn't vote that it's an issue in my case because I'm using a p182 and full size ATX Gigabyte board. But just beware of the dimensions (height x width) and also how much it weighs. Over 700g you're getting up there so don't go juggling your case or anything.

Overall Review: I would have preferred if the power cable was sleeved but that's no fault of Asus. It can be done easily enough. All in all it's a must have for any level of builder, ranging from new to the most extreme overclockers. A great choice for those who are on their last AIR upgrades before going to H2O cooling.

Pros: Great design, this air cooler w/the 92mm fan does the best job I've seen so far. MB temps stay around low 30's, and this at idle is almost always the same or within 1-2 deg C. During load, never goes over 40 deg C. Definitely going to overclock now that the stock cooler is gone. Was easier than stock heatsink to install; took only a couple minutes. Quick, easy instructions and the hardware that secures this beast is easier than what AMD gives you.

Cons: Thermal paste it comes with is not the best; suggest using artic silver as its way easier to apply. I started using the asus paste and it just doesn't apply as evenly so I used ArticSilver5. This thing is HUGE. Its more than twice the size of the stock cooler but hey, it does the job. I read other reviews saying how big it was and you can't really see how big it is until it arrives in the mail.

Overall Review: Was using stock cooler on my Phenom X4 9950 125watt, posting idles in the 50's and loads around 60 which is terrible when MB temps are in the low 30's. This behemoth of a cooler brought those temps wayy down average around a 17deg C decrease! I love this thing. Fit in smoothly in my thermaltake armor+ case

Pros: It cools very well, it is very easy to install on an Phenom, and even for it size it fitted my rig (see below), it is less noisy than the stock AMD fan.

Cons: The thermal paste that they provide was very hard to apply. I lost my Artic silver in the move. I still decided to apply only the minimal amount, like if it was the Artic silver - I did lap the copper heatsink first. Everything looks fine, but they should provide better stuff. Artic silver is inexpensive they should provide it with any heatsink.

Overall Review: MSI K9A2 Platinum, AMD Phenom 9950 BE CPU, Asus Lion Square CPU cooler (yes it does fit with this rig, without any single modification or contraption), OCZ platinum 2x2GB, ASUS EAH4850, Caviar SE16 320GB, Samsung DVD burner, Antec EA650 psu, Raidmax Smilodon case, Viewsonic VX1962/2260

Pros: I purchased this air cooler for my AMD Phenom 9950 BE 140W so that I could have reasonable core temperatures. As it was with the stock cooler, I found core temperatures reaching into the upper 50s. I installed it with Dynex Silver thermal compound and have nothing bad to say about it. Presently when not overclocked my CPU idle core temperature is approximately 20 C. If I overclock it to 2.9/3.0 it idle is 28 C. At full load the temperature rarely reachs 40 C, and in general is around 37/38 C.

Cons: It is huge, had to remove a 250 mm side fan on my case to fit this. Replaced it with a piece of plexiglass and an 80 mm side fan running at high speed. That fan alone blowing on the RAM, SB and Cooler accounted for another 3 degree drop in temperature from just the cooler on its own. I highly suggest rearranging your case fans to help out the 92 mm fan within the heatsink.
