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: This cooler is awesome. Running athlon x2 5600 and its runs very quiet cool even under load! It cools great and it runs VERY silent!

Cons: none... other than it gets dust easily... its been a week and dust is already building up.

Overall Review: I'm not sure about socket 775 but it does seem like that this cooler isn't really good for socket 775 due to the push pins.

Pros: keeps my e7200 overclocked at 3.2 ghz around 34-36C idle and around 52-54C under full load. it's relatively cheap and it's fairly quiet. i didn't have any of the problems other reviews have described when installing it. it snapped right in for me. it works well for what i bought it for.

Cons: none really. it's far from spectacular, but it does it's job well for the price. it's absolutely necessary to remove the fan and shroud prior to installation, but this is a very easy task.

Overall Review: i never even tried the stock cooler that came with my processor, so i don't know how they would compare. i wiped off the thermal grease that came already applied and used arctic silver 5. i measured my temps using real temp. it doesn't seem suitable for more than modest overclocking. i had my processor up to 3.6ghz stable under full load with temps hovering just under 60C. anything over 3.6ghz registered over 60 in real temp, as well as setting my BIOS alarm off.

Pros: Great cooler...for 1.99..can't beat it with a stick. Dropped my idle from 32 to 24~25...dropped my load temps from 49-53 to 39-40. Would recommend it to anyone on the fence. It is a MASSIVE cooler, and I mean MASSIVE. About the size of a grapefruit. but it works perfectly, and the fan is situated so it blows the hot air right out the exhaust in the back. Thanks newegg! and Coolermaster!

Cons: Wasn't free and doesn't make me dinner. Hah.

Overall Review: ASUS M2N-e SLI AM2, AMD64 x2 4000+ 2.1 (OCed to 2.3), GeForce 8600GT 512 GDDR3, Coolermaster Hyper TX2, 200g SATA 7200

Pros: Cools well and has a deflector that compliments the Asus M2N-SLI mobo really well. It actually takes no more room horizontally than a regular heatsink/fan.

Cons: I have found none. Just remember that it comes with both intel and AMD connections, so you have to take off the clips for AMD installation.

Overall Review: After my first purchase, I liked it so much that I just order 2 more. Running at 2000 rpm, it runs quiet. If you have a side window, it looks very impressive.

Pros: Lowered my CPU temps from 37C to 29C idle, and 44C down to 34C under load. Ambient = 65F (I keep my house cold during winter, so summertime ambient temps of 70F would raise the CPU temps somewhat, but not much). Can't beat the price (one dollar after MIR). Rather easy to install on an AM2 socket. Newegg's fast shipping is always a plus!

Cons: Having to wait for rebate... but even if it doesn't come in, still can't beat the price and free shipping. The pre-applied thermal grease pad is garbage. Remove it and apply some Arctic Silver.

Overall Review: Asus M2N4-SLI mobo, AMD 64 x2 4200 CPU, G.Skill 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 RAM, Seagate 250GB HDD, XFX GeForce 8600GT 256MB GPU, 2x LiteOn DVD-ROM burner ODDs, Rosewill Stallion 500W PSU.

Pros: Looks good - shiny copper, soft aluminum, glossy plastic. Spectacular airflow, and kept very cool even when fan ran on 5 volts (instead of 12v). Was practically free after rebate.

Cons: Fan is a bit loud. However, you can connect to 'Molex' 5v (or 7v) instead of the motherboard's 12v power to make it practically dead silent - while still blowing quite some air. A bit large, but will fit well in a Mid-ATX case.

Overall Review: Don't stick your finger in the fan edge when it's spinning (I was rewiring when computer was on). Cuts up your hand like crazy.

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.
