Cooler Master Hyper T4 - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes

Pros: Cheap Almost silent Great cooling for the price - far better than the stock Intel/AMD coolers Will fit in all but the smallest cases

Cons: Mounting hardware isn't particularly complicated, but the instructions are terribly unhelpful, making the installation process a bit more difficult than some other coolers on the market.

Overall Review: Used this to cool an FX-6100 on a Gigabyte 990FX-UD3 motherboard and it worked perfectly! I would have used a Hyper 212 Evo, but the case I bought (Corsair Spec 03) wasn't large enough and so I went with the T4. This is a great option if you need a cheap cooler and can't fit the slightly taller 212 Evo in your rig.

Pros: - Keeps an A10-7850K nice and cool - Quiet performance - Easy to install

Cons: - Not necessarily compatible with FM2 socket

Overall Review: This is a good cooler, especially for the price. It keeps an overclocked A10-7850K at around 60 degrees under full load. And under full load, it is still beautifully quiet. The cooler is rather easy to install, even on an FM2 socket, which is not really supported. Mounting this cooling on an FM2 socket requires that it be placed 90 degrees from standard mounting position. This does lead to two of the RAM slots being blocked, but in my case, that was not a big deal. I do believe that a mounting plate for a 212 EVO can be used to get one of these to sit at the proper orientation if desired. Overall, this is a good cooler, especially for the price. Just keep in mind the socket limitations and compatibility.

Pros: - Thinner than its cousin - 120mm fan - Easy for someone accustomed to AMD to install since it uses a clippy fastener - Fit in my tiny mATX case with a GTX 980ti and super tall Corsair Vengeance RAM (The ones with the salad forks sticking out of the top)

Cons: - Not made of solid 14k gold - Can't cook eggs on it.

Overall Review: - I recommend this cooler for small form factor builders that want a top level air cooler.

Pros: - Does what it advertises?

Cons: - TWO of these units failed within 10 days. Both have bad bearings and make terrible racket. Unfortunately, one of the PC's is positioned outside my home office so the days I work from home are filled with bearing noise. - Hangs over a full ram slot and pushes into another. Had to slide the fan up the heat sink a half an inch just to get it to clear the stick in slot 2. - NOT easy to mount to the board, mounting "bar" is terrible.

Overall Review: - I would ship these paperweights back but then both of my children will be complaining because they can't use their PC's. This would be substantially louder and more annoying than the bearings. Going to replace the fans with something that isn't total garbage this afternoon. Gave it two starts because it does what it was designed to do, just rather poorly in all aspects.

Pros: Brought my temps down about 10 degrees. Extremely easy install if using AMD. PC went from "Is my PC gonna explode?" to "Is my PC even on?"

Cons: Zero.

Overall Review: 10/10 would recommend

Pros: -Cooler Master quality -Price -Shorter than the evo -Great performance -Nice and quiet -Ease of installation -New found OC capability

Cons: -Not the best thermal paste -With AM3+ only way to mount it is horizontally

Overall Review: I used this t4 to cool an fx 4300 that was running 68 c on the stock fan. (cpu burner 1 hr)my Temps dropped to a stable 39 c. With this much breathing room, I tried to unleash the full potential of my cpu. I have it at 4.6 ghz stable at 49 c.(stock 3.8) Not a bad number at all. The mounting system for the t4 was simple for amd, but I can't speak for intel users on this one. A reviewer has previously stated that it is difficult to install with a micro atx mobo and covers ram slots, however, I have had no such difficulties. Easy to install in mine and no interference with ram sticks. Overall I would recommend from anyone.

Pros: Very easy to install, super quiet and extremely shinny good looking, my a106800k never goes past 52c at 4.6ghz during prime95.

Cons: none at all at this price point.

Overall Review: I debated over this one or the 212 evo, decided to go for the t4 due to the minimal price difference, im glad i did, it is a great cooler for the money. AMD a10 6800k @ 4.6ghz (IGPU @ 1013) MSI a88x-G43 Team 2133x8GB samsung 840evo 120GB

Pros: Stock cooler temp averaged 60 C with high load and ~40 C with no load. Putting in this cooler has dropped the average high load temp to ~45 C and down to the mid 20s C with no load. Substantial difference. Low noise on turbo setting.

Cons: The model is displayed saying that it can be rotated in all four directions as you may need it in your case. The poster neglected to mention that this only works with an Intel setup and will not work with the AMD retention cable. I would have to drill holes in my board and hope it fit to turn it. Because of that, the cooler covers the first two RAM slots which made me have to move them back. However, low profile ram will still fit.

Overall Review: Mobo: Sabertooth 990fx R2.0 CPU: AMD FX-8350 I would seriously recommend this to anyone needing a better than stock solution. AMD's stock cooler is really terrible.
