Question 1

Can we replace the fan on the cooler, or is it not replaceable?

Accepted Answer

Yes fan can be unscrewed and replaced if desired just need to find something that will work with the screws they provided or find your own screws that will fit it

Question 2

I know the dimensions say this cooler is 58mm tall. The case i'm looking at possibly using this in is the Fractal Design Node 202 which claims CPU cooler clearance of 56mm. Does anyone know for sure if this might still work? I mean come on, .....its just 2mm difference! Would this maybe just bulge the side panel a little?

Accepted Answer

HardwareCanucks Used this fan with the node in their review and confirmed it fits in the comments, No fan replacement needed.

Question 3

Is this product including the thermal compound?

Accepted Answer

Yes it comes with a little tube of thermal paste.

Question 4

This cooler on silver stone's website says it is LGA 1151 compatible...the newegg listing does not show that. I want to try this on a i7-8700, will it fit?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure. If the cooler's website shows that it can support it, it probsbly does. I am sure the manufacturer doesn't want to pay the shipping cost back to their warehouse becausr their website states that it can support something it can't. You can always send it back if it doesn't work. Good luck.

Question 5

Can it fit on a mini ITX board?? I have the GA-F2A88XN-WIFI Mini ITX FM2+ Motherboard and I'm wondering if its going to fit or not.

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ITX board (assuming there is clearance, check the dimensions and keep-out on the motherboard you have vs. the manual for the cooler) should have no issues. The difference on ITX boards is the number of extra PCIe etc. slots - CPU area often is unaffected. This type of cooler's advantage is low height which is useful for a smaller case.

Question 6

Would this fit on an 1155 socket and would it be able to cool a i5 while gaming?

Accepted Answer

This is the coolest air cooler I have ever used. I don't see why anyone uses those huge ugly towers, keeps my i5 6600 in the low 50's under full load
