CRYORIG H7 Tower Cooler For AMD/Intel CPU with 120mm PWM Fan

Pros: - Interchangeable Fan Capable - Not So Tall - Comes With Thermal Paste - Easy To Install

Cons: Used!

Overall Review: I have no issues with this being used, because the contact base was flawless and I did not use the fan that came with it. I solely wanted to use the heat sink. I was a bit irritated that I received a used product. 2 fins were bent & there was still dust in the fins and on the fan. The box was not sealed either. I can usually tell when a box has been opened by seeing that either it has no seal or the seal has been tampered with. I have received other products this way even though they are listed new. I knew it was opened ahead of unpacking. It's the reason I gave it 4 out of 5 eggs. It is what it is. Air compressor solved my problem. Now, to the good stuff... ^^) I am happy with the heat sink. I used 2 Corsair 120mm MagLev fans (Mobo Curved on a push - pull config) to keep my 7700K cool. It's nice that these tower heat sinks come with enough hardware to mount two fans. I noticed that while playing games like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Squad, Elite Dangerous, Scrap Mechanic, ME Andromeda, The Division, The Witcher 3, Etc.... my CPU temp never broke 66C. This was unexpected due to all of the rumors about temp spikes people have been posting on the internet about the i7 7700K. It is perfect for my air cooled build. I used Arctic Silver 5 High Density thermal paste. I do not use the pea method. I have to explain this. I use a small amount, applying it across one end of the IHS, from one corner to the other side-corner. I use a straight razor and apply even pressure as I use it as a spreader to spread the paste across the entire surface of the IHS. I continue to spread in a criss-cross pattern until the entire surface is completely covered with a very thin layer of thermal paste. I have done it this way since 2001 and have seen better results in many cases. You cannot cover the entire IHS end to end with a pea sized dot applied to the center of the IHS. The thermal paste is used to fill in air gaps between the heat sink(liquid or air) and processor due to a non true or an imperfectly flat surface on both the heat sink contact surface and processor IHS. A circular spread will never entirely cover a square surface, thus not utilizing the entire IHS to dissipate heat. I hope this helps someone get better performance out of their H7. lol That was a hand full of typing. ^^) Current Machine Specs For Reference: -i7 7700K @ 4.2 Ghz -Cryorig H7 Heat Sink w/ Dual Corsair 120mm MagLev Fans (Mobo Curved on Push-Pull Config) -Arctic Silver 5 High Density Thermal Paste -32GB DDR4 Dual Channel Corsair RAM @ 2666Mhz Frequency -EVGA GTX 1080 FTW2 Running Dual 27" Monitors -Samsung 960 Pro 1TB M2 SSD Benchmarked @ 29.5 MB/s Sequential Read (O/S & Game Library Drive) -WD Blue 2.5" 512GB SSD Sata Storage -Twin 120mm Corsair MagLev Intake Case Fans (75% PWM Mobo) -Twin 120mm Corsair MagLev Exhaust Case Fans (75% PWM Mobo) -EVGA Z270 FTW K Motherboard -EVGA 750w G2 Gold Plus PSU -Rosewill MidTower Gaming Case **22-23C Room Temp**

Pros: Easy install Keeps my 7600k cooled at 4.6ghz with ease 32c idle 40c browsing/videos 58c-60c full load

Cons: NA

Overall Review: I came from an Evo 212 which is not much different in performance compared to the Cryorig H7 but the Cryorig H7 is far easier to install and does not require a blood sacrifice. I can easily recommend this product.

Pros: It fits in my Rosewill FBM-01 mid tower Great clearance around the VRM area Fan is very quiet, I wasn't even sure it was running until i looked at the bios.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This cooler keeps my i5-6660k that's overclocked to 4.6ghz at ~23c idle and ~55c stress test full load, more than impressed. I would have been happy if it kept it in the low 70s. I thought about replacing the fan with a Noctua when I ordered, but the one included is great and an extra pair of fan clips are included if you wanna setup a push-pull.

Pros: Max of 50C with my i5 8600k clocked to 4.8. I can overclock it more if i needed too. I tested at 5.0 and it only hit 60C. Just no need to really yet :O

Cons: none

Pros: -Switched from a 1 Rad setup to this. -Silent -Cool operation on my 6600K (28c - 58c MAX) UPDATE -Owned for over a year and won't go back to water cooled. This thing is amazing.

Cons: -Size? Just make sure you plan

Overall Review: Easy to setup up. 10/21/2017 UPDATE ~ Works with Coffeelake and keeps my 8400 @ 50C MAX ~ AMAZING

Pros: My 8350 was on stock for the last 3 yrs without any issues and suddenly blue screens and reboots all over the place and I have not done any OC'ing with it at all. Turned it off overnight and the next day booted it and straight into bios..... cpu temp was in 60's almost 70, on cold boot in bios. :( - Started checking in windows and idle was 60+ if i would start any game at all it might get to title screen or shortly after and either blue screen or just reboot. So checking stock heatsink / fan first - and I could not be happier !!!!!! 1. Everyone in the house couldn't believe it was even on. This is with the case open on my desk and sitting on top of it. There is just no sound. WOW 2. TEMPS - Again WOW - idle is between 10-18 , light load 20-25ish , full load it has only got to 37. The highest i have seen it was doing stress tests and it hit 48 during an hour of stress on it with Prime95 etc. lowest I've seen has been 8 - and these numbers are now with it OverClocked at 4.2/4.3 can't remember off hand which its set at. 3. nice setup

Cons: Installation took a min but nothing major.... due to setup i wouldnt be able to do a push/pull but that is because of my motherboard as rock 990fx extreme4 - just no room not anything to knock off an egg for.

Overall Review: The only major issue i had was since my heatsink was out I had no computer , I paid to get it to me fast , for some reason the order got stuck in order verification for a couple of days and then after talking to C.S. (which they couldn't figure out why since it had already cleared my bank days ago) at newegg It was processed and I was assured it was going to have it delivered on time before the weekend. That came and went and after that fedex updated and said it wouldnt be delivered until the next week midweek. - Now it did come sooner than that midweek THANKFULLY but with that I debated on ranking. and i decided on 5. The product itself deserves the rating of 5 eggs, I couldn't knock an egg off for issues that don't reflect the product itself, but more of the experience. If you are like me and battling back and fourth over water cooling or air...... This fit the bill just nice. I came real close to getting a water cooling setup and will on a future build but got this on sale and honestly can't argue with those numbers.......

Pros: - Extremely simple to install - Great cooling for the price - Looks fantastic

Cons: - None

Overall Review: While the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo has long been the standard aftermarket CPU cooler for those upgrading past the stock cooler, I noticed this one getting a fair bit of attention. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I'm very much an amateur at assembling systems with only two under my belt, but this thing was easier to install than the stock Intel cooler I used in my first system. All parts are clearly labeled, instructions are clear for both Intel and AMD installations, and nothing needed to be forced or fit in a way that makes one nervous when pressing against your brand new $350 processor. I can't even hear the thing when running near max speed, and it looks fantastic in my case while leaving plenty of room for painless memory installation.

Pros: * Intuitive installation process * Quality construction * Perfect size for mini-ITX board * Quiet stock fan

Cons: - Metal fins are pretty thin, managed to bend a few removing the fan clips

Overall Review: Used this cooler for a mini-ITX build in a COrsair 380T case. Perfect fit, just about 10mm clearance to case top once installed. Clears memory nicely, quiet and compact. CPU (i5-6600K) temps stay right around 30c.
