Pros: My newest AMD processor came with one of the loudest fans I've ever encountered in all my years of building PCs. I mean it was BAD. I've never used an aftermarket cooler before, but clearly the time had come. I tried the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO first but it was just a little too tall to fit in the case (mid-sized tower, pretty standard, or so I thought). Oh well, we all make mistakes. After some additional research, I arrived at this cooler and decided to give it a try. I'm very glad I did! It's a tiny bit shorter, enough to make the difference so I can close my case. It's compatible with the AM3+ standard brackets, too, so I didn't have to pull out the motherboard. The fan, so far, is very quiet, and the cooling is a noticeable improvement over stock as well. It seems to hover around 35°C while idle, and I think it's shot up to 50°C, maybe a little more, during heavy use. That may or may not be acceptable to you, but I'm satisfied with the numbers. Anyway, if you're looking to replace a stock cooler and don't want to get too crazy about it, this is worth a shot.

Cons: Installation could have been a little easier, but it really wasn't all that bad. Definitely better than having to pull out the motherboard.

Overall Review: This comes with thermal paste on it, so keep that in mind during installation (unless you plan to remove it and apply your own later). I didn't bother applying my own, and the provided stuff seems to be doing the trick.

Pros: This cooler has done what I needed it to do, that is keep my CPU a bit cooler for cheap. I'm running a FX 4300 Black Edition at stock speeds 3.8-4.1 turbo and getting around an average of 3C cooler at idle, and 7C cooler running Prime95 for 6 hrs.

Cons: My only cons are the build quality, I have a Logisys case and PSU and they work great and are tough. However this cooler feels like it's from another company, the heatsink's fin's were bent and flimsy like aluminum foil and the fan's fin's are brittle (but it's 15$ so can't blame them). But somewhere they could have done better was the mounting, not sure on intel, but for amd it was the tightest fit I have ever seen, both arms have to be bent to a point, that I felt like I was breaking it, just to get the cooler on. If they made a better mounting system this would be 5 eggs, but I had to take one off for this unnessisary mistake.

Overall Review: If you are looking for a cheap heatsink and fan to fit in smaller towers, then this is a great pick. The fan can be removed and another 92mm added, or if you find another mounting bracket, you can add a secondary to help reduce resistance. Final thoughts: logisys could have done better, great for budget builds, slightly upgradeable, cheap, somewhat slim, and does what it says (cools your CPU)

Pros: About 15-20c lower than my default heatsink which worked fine. Its only $15 so the upgrade is well worth it if you don't need anything fancy.

Cons: Pain in my "you know what" to install. The intel pins wobble and don't line up. Struggle to find the position in which they would finally push in from. I think one didn't go in all the way.. But.. Its $15. So whatever.

Overall Review: I wouldn't try overclocking too much on this. Its just a good replacement for a stock sink.

Pros: super fast install on AM3+, fan is quiet at 100%, great cooling

Cons: *none*

Overall Review: I have the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3, this cooler did NOT block the ram slots, its small compact size was perfect, I had probs with two other coolers not fitting due to the Dims to close to the cpu socket

Pros: did not have to take my mobo out of my tower to put it on and its what i was looking for and it looks cool fits in my micro atx bord the first after market prossesor heatsink that i have ever bought and i am inpressed logisis THANK YOU

Cons: didnt com with another fan clip for the other side but i can see that i coud put 1 on ther cant finde any 92 mm fan clips on newegg but its not worth taking a egg off becuz it does its job so well any way

Overall Review: it took me a realy long time to finde this thing on newegg was looking for somthing that didnt have a back plate and was EZ to install on a AMD FM2 setup woud have been nice to filter out backplates and nonbackplates

Pros: Extremely easy for AMD. Very substantial down pressure. Nice thin pre-applied thermal grease. Be careful not to smear it accidentally; it's not like the stiff pre-applied mats on some OEM coolers. Fan is pretty quiet at Cool n' Quiet settings. This board sets it at about 1450 RPM, and at that speed it is lightly audible, but no high whine. At 1100 RPM it's virtually silent (required Asrock software)

Cons: Only one. The fan clips are annoying. I wish they'd have the plastic lock tabs.

Overall Review: Keeps Trinity APUs under 35C running Prime 95 or the better software called Heavy Load. Albeit it's only on an A4-5300, which doesn't generate much heat.

Pros: They cool very well!!!! They are very quiet!!!

Cons: None

Overall Review: I can't believe I got such good coolers for that price. Using two on a Dual CPU rig

Pros: Great heat sink, easy installation, very quiet fan, looks good, great price.

Cons: Very tall, will stick out and prevent the side of most mid towers from closing. I don't keep my sides on anyway, so it wasn't an issue for me.
