Thermaltake CL-P0508 110mm CPU Cooler

Pros: Pretty blue lights.

Cons: It fails to effectively do the one thing its supposed to. Reseated it twice with no changes in results. Idle temps are fine (30 - 40 c), light load temps are...acceptable ( 40 - 50 C), but if you load up the cpu with 8 threads of prime95 you will see the temps on all cores shoot up to 80-100C. Unacceptable. The i7 platform is great and most applications don't require anywhere near 100% load, but for those that do this heatsink will not be sufficient.

Overall Review: Go with a heatsink that has a backplate. From what I have seen all of the stock and other "snap in" style heatsinks are having similar results.

Pros: Blue led, love the silver fins, easy to install. I used for a core 2 duo e6400, took it from idling @ 55C to 35C. also the fan controller is nice, you can use it if you want or, it un plugs and you can let the BIOS control the fan speed.

Cons: size, measure and make sure it fits, it clears my psu by about .25 inches, and it sticks out so far, it is about 1 inch from the window on my case.

Overall Review: I was going to get the old copper V1, but it weighs about 637 grams, while this one weighs 420g, so this is awesome because it weighs less and looks better. Also the other review that says it did not make a diff on his cpu, I don't know how that could be, It dropped mine 20C, I think he may have put on too much thermal paste or not installed properly.

Pros: IT WORKS ON EVGA X58 FINE.

Cons: Semi flimsy fan. Unlike a review below this says "Cons: Bad overall design. Couldn't get it to fit on my EVGA x58 board along with the memory when I installed it according to their instructions. I tried other methods, but it would either hit the NB heatsink, or the memory heatsinks. (I have Corsair Dominator memory with relatively large heatsinks.) . " This person is either dumb, or doesnt have the heatsink. It fits fine without hitting the NB, dont let this review throw you off of buying. I am running at 36c with lower voltage, and 39-40c with stock voltage. Fan set to 1700rpm out of i believe 2600rpm possible. It fits perfectly with the board , plenty of room for the ram heatsinks,and the NB is over 1CM away. Except 1 pipe which is half a CM away.

Overall Review: This is the SAME heatsink used by evga in there OC guide on there website for there evga x58 board

Pros: Looks great. Easy install on 1366 socket. Keeps my i7 920 temp in the 30s.

Cons: Not good for overclocking. Idle temps @3.2Ghz overclock is in the low 50s. Cannot run at full load past 3.2Ghz with this cooler.

Overall Review: I have had some trouble removing the cooler from motherboard when I tried a reseat. In my opinion go with something else if you plan to overclock.

Pros: easy installation, massive amounts of surface space for heat dissipation

Cons: couldn't get my on board heat sink fan attached because cpu cooler was in the way, not a huge deal, but would be nice to have as much cooling as possible

Overall Review: might get in the way of your ram

Pros: Aluminum build is lighter than copper. Mine does come with the socket-1366 bracket, in case some of you are wondering. No backplate to mess with. Easier to install in comparison from my other socket-775 fans install, or I have more strength now, or I have more experience now. Runs pretty silent at low speed.

Cons: You have to apply the included thermal paste yourself. Aluminum has weaker heat dissipation than copper, according to some. Huge, but does fit into my system (see spec below). Took a while to figure out which way the air goes in and out. At lowest speed it may makes some noises (easily fixed by turn up the speed a bit, which doesn't really change the fan speed by much, but apply more voltage to the fan?). At high speed it gets loud.

Overall Review: Spec: i7 920, Asus P6T Deluxe, Antec 900 plus one additional side fan, 3 DDR3 RAM sticks, and a GTX 260 card. And yes, this CPU fan & heatsink does fit with all these (yes, even with the side fan). I didn't install the stock Intel fan & heatsink in the first place so I can't compare. However, at idle SpeedFan reports CPU 25 C, and system 30 C. At load (how about right after Crysis, ETQW, UT3, MoH Airborne all at 1080p with every detail on high or higher?) SpeedFan reports CPU at 30's C. Unless SpeedFan goofs up, I think even my body temperature is higher than that. Note that I didn't clock it (for now?), and the fan speed is at low. Perhaps it's Antec 900, but I think the air coming out is actually colder than my room temp (low 60 F). I feel very tempted to clock the living **** out of my i7 now... MUST... NOT... FRY... THE... CHIP...

Pros: -Slightly better than stock fan temps

Cons: -Much better out there for a few dollars more.

Pros: This cooler is great. It fits the coloring of my case and also helps keep my overclocked e7300 (O.C.'d to 3.4 Ghz) nice and cool. Normally I don't like the push pins used on 775 cpu cooler connectors, but I felt that this cooler was actually stable with them. Size is also not that bad. Any midtower atx case and up should fit it with no problems. But, always measure! It also comes with 1366 connectors for when I upgrade to the i7's!

Cons: The fins are easy to bend if you don't hold the cooler correctly, so make sure to keep your fingers awat from the fins. (this should be common knowledge so I'm not really counting this one against them)
