Question 1

Does this product come with thermal paste or pre-applied thermal paste?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it comes with the thermal paste already applied. And there is  good coat of paste, so not too worry.. .just be careful not to try and keep your hand from touching the paste when installing the unit

Question 2

The picture of the item looks different than what's in the marketing overview.  Which is the correct product?  I was thinking of replacing this with a different fan if it takes a regular square case fan, but the picture at the top of the page shows a fan inside a rounded casing.  Which one is it?

Accepted Answer

The fan has a rounded casing and is keyed to the heat sink. If you had some spring clips, you'd probably be able to replace the fan with a different one, though only on the same side. The other side has some fins to direct air flow and wouldn't accept a fan.

Question 3

will this device light up if i don't have aura?

Accepted Answer

the fan does not light up. you can replace the fan with one that does tho.

Question 4

will this fan suffecietly cool a am3 amd versha quad core 125w cpu and will it fit onto a gigabyte durable II mb?

Accepted Answer

It will fit the motherboard just fine, if the socket is confirmed to be an AM3. The CPU should run at a fine temperature; probably between 100-114F. Just make sure that you have room in your case, because this thing is huge!

Question 5

Does it include clips for an additional fan installation?

Accepted Answer

I don’t believe so.

Question 6

would this fit into a Rosewill LINE-M Micro ATX Mini Tower Case ?

Accepted Answer

It would not fit in my Lian-Li mid-tower case.  It was about 5mm too high.  I had to order a: Noctua NH-L9x65 SE-AM4 premium-grade low-profile CPU cooler for AMD AM4    instead which fit fine.   If you want to overclock perhaps a fatter wider model would work.
