MasterAir Pro 4 CPU Air Cooler with Continuous Direct Contact Technology 2.0 by Cooler Master

Pros: Good levels of temperature.

Cons: Too high, poor documentation.

Pros: Quiet, sleek look, came with brackets for a 2nd optional fan to create a pull push setup. Has rubber spacers to minimize/eliminate sound from vibration of fan if you put a 2nd fan on. The fan it came with was already set up this way.

Cons: AM4 sockets will require a additional part directly from Cooler Master. It is free however they charge you around $9 for shipping and handling. It was also slow. I ordered the bracket first, and then few days later all the other parts from newegg, annd the whole computer showed up before the AM4 Bracket.

Overall Review: Installation was pretty easy. I always install my CPU, Memory, and CPU cooler while the board is outside the case. Make sure you install your memory first if you think the cooler will block it. Also, its not a bad idea to do a dry run with the cooler to make sure you have everything figured out as to how it lines up. Cooler Master did have a video of exactly how to install this cooler. Another thing was nice was the fan easily can unclip from the cooling tower's heat sink for cleaning / make installation a little easier.

All in all very pleased.

Pros: - Durable.
- Silent Fan.
- Keeps my CPU a couple degrees cooler.
- Fits snug.

Cons: - Price is a little high.

Overall Review: I had by CPU fan damaged on moving and was able to get insurance to pay for it, but I can see how this would be a little expensive, however it is a good product.

Pros: None, I was never able to use this. It probably works fine with Intel, though.

Cons: Installation was impossible on an AM3+ socket (AMD 990FX motherboard, FX-8350 CPU). I have a mid-sized tower, and while the fan would have fit in the case, the process of installing it was overly difficult. However, even removing the motherboard from the case didn't help matter much. One of the screws on the cross bracket for AMD sockets was bent out of shape, but this didn't even matter because I could only screw in one side at a time anyway. I really hate the design of that cross bracket. Surely they could have come up with something better for AMD builds.

I've been building computers for a while and have never been stumped like this. Terrible design. Looks like the Intel bracket is completely different, so maybe that works better.

I actually brought this in to a computer place to see if they could install it. They couldn't. I bought something else that was much easier to install.

Pros: Almost dead silent

Cons: My stock intel heatsink kept my 7700k under 90 degrees while this one will go to 91 degrees after playing one game of overwatch.

Overall Review: Although this cooler was a little downer for me, everything else i purchased of newegg was 10/10 an i highly recommend using this site if your building your own pc. Thx newegg <3

Pros: Silent
Easy to Install
4pin plug

Cons: None

Overall Review: Most fans I've upgraded used the existing mounts. This fan required removing the old mounts (amd board) and installing the packaged hardware. This meant removing the mobo out of the case, so I could have access to bolt on the new hardware (screws and nuts). The instructions could have been better. Instructions should include explanations and not just pictures. Separate completely AMD and Intel install instructions so they can not be confused. Overall, after the curve, this fan is a very easy fan to install.

This fan runs very quiet. I purchased it based of the specs and several reviews. It is Worth every penny. Great Job Cooler Master.

Pros: Relatively straight-forward install. Apply the thermal paste and use one of the mounting options. Took me about 20 minutes but would have been quicker if I'd not needed to pull the cooler back out after the initial install.

Fan is almost silent.

Cons: On my motherboard, the heat sink blocked the memory slot closest to the CPU. All was fine if the memory was installed before the cooler was, but I didn't realize that until I'd already installed the cooler. So, I had to pull it off, put the memory in, then put the cooler back on the CPU. Something to keep in mind.

Overall Review: Good product. Very happy so far.

Pros: - Extremely easy to install the metal bracket
- Very clear instructions included
- Feels like good quality

Cons: - None

Overall Review: I'm using this with my first computer build. At first I figured I'd go with the plastic push pins since I thought it would be easier. After reading posts on which mounting system is better, I figured I'd try the metal bracket even though I had read they can be complicated. Well, that is NOT true with this system at all. I simply had to place the back panel on the motherboard and the holes lined up perfectly. I just had to pop the base screws through from the front of the board and then tighten them down with the nuts from the back. The X bracket that mounts from the top is extremely easy to figure out. Once I get my CPU, I can't see this taking any more than 10 minutes tops for a beginner.
