Tiny but effective.
Pros: Keeps my i7 7700 Cool. Silent fan, even on high speed. Super low profile.
Cons: The cooler secures to the mother board with screws that come up from the bottom of the motherboard. In my case, that meant I had to remove my motherboard. But in the end it was work the extra cooling.
Overall Review: Upgraded from the stock Intel cooler. What a difference that made. Temps were cut in half. Would definitely recommend these coolers.
Would be great... if it worked.
Pros: It's a great idea. The ability to use laptop ram in a desktop computer.
Cons: Doesn't work! There are four dip switches but it came with no instructions on how to set them. Silk screen on the board, for the dip switches, makes no sense at all.
Overall Review: Would be a great if it worked. But as it is... just a waste of money and TIME.. It took forever to get here. Sent from china without my knowledge.
Mostly works as it should.
Pros: Reads BlueRay disc faster than most drives.
Cons: Can not get it to read UltraHD BlueRay disc. Though that might be the fault of my motherboard. Its boarder-line on whether or not my motherboard is new enough to support UltraHD BR, so do your research.
Overall Review: Do your research before buying.
Works as it should.
Pros: Ordered 2. Had all the power connectors I needed and then some. Several months later both are still working just fine.
Cons: None really.
Overall Review: Would buy again.
Also fits Socket 423!!
Pros: Fits the elusive socket 423 as well as Socket 604.
Cons: Might require some tinkering. Extra washers and such.
Overall Review: If you need a heatsink for your Socket 423 Pentium 4, this will do. Better than using zip-ties through the motherboard.
Good Bang for the buck!
Pros: Its got a pretty zippy i3 processor in it. Everything worked right out of the box. It was clean inside and out. Two of the four memory slots were open so Easily upgraded the RAM to 8gb by adding two 4gb sticks.
Cons: Has those darn low profile expansion slots. So no big video card upgrade. Not really a con though, cuz I already knew what I was getting here.
Overall Review: All in all great bang for your dollars.
