Thermaltake CLP0554 80mm Sleeve CPU Cooler

Pros: Looks better than my Cooler Master Sphere, better CFM.

Cons: I was tricked. Now bare in mind, normally I'm a smart shopper, checking reviews and such, but 5egg rated and vertical intake (my chassis is the Antec Skeleton so my MoBo lays flat) Only reason I am knocking an egg off is because newegg posted the Fan dimensions, not the physical dimensions. I will try to be helpful to those who need them so let me post them right off the box. 120.1 x 120.1 x 159mm

Overall Review: I will be getting an Antec Lanboy Air soon to accommodate this.

Pros: This cooler has a great design and did not cover the RAM on my 990FXA-UD3 Gigabyte motherboard. At 1461 RPMs kept my Phenom ii 1090T cool at 55C on load at 4.1GHZ and NB at 3000GHz. Has a real nice led light that is not overly bright and is not hard to put on.

Cons: First the Fan controller that comes with this cooler is not long enough. It is very short and just kinda dangles. It is an eye sore when all the other cables are nice and tucked away. Second, after a week the fan started to vibrate. If I barely pushed the cooler it would stop. At first I could just turn down the RPM and it would stop and eventually it got louder. The actual FAN is quite I just do not think it fits tight on the processor at all and this slight looseness of the cooler causes the vibration.

Overall Review: If you were to buy this for an Intel setup, I believe this product could be easily at 4-5 star cooler. The brackets for the Intel that came with the cooler seem like it would provide a more tighter fit on the processor than the AMD clip that it came with. It looked really sharp in my HAF 922 case and left enough room between the side fan and cooler. I hated to send it back but the vibration got too much for me. I give 5 eggs for Newegg. They took care of me right away. I called today and within the hour I had RMA and shipping information. EGGCELENT!

Pros: It looks like something a ninja would use to assassinate his foe. But even better than that is how chilly it keeps the cpu; currently have 3.2ghz AMD Phenom II x6 core runs below manufactures rated average temperature with no ac in a standard 20x10x10 room.

Cons: Realizing you bought a super cool looking fan; and havent mod-ed your case to be see through yet. Yeah though thats not related to the purchase parse. For the fan itself; only one; that stupid tag. Which engineer/QC person thought to have it put there? I would like to know why considering it could possible harm the fan blades and thus kill the fan. but I doubt that would happen. Still to be on the safe side, think ahead.

Overall Review: Oh by the way; that ugly little tag on it that reads warranty void if removed; well it doesnt say "warranty void if tapped" so I used a smidgen of electrical tape after rolling it on to itself; now it doesnt get caught in the fan :D

Pros: Cools well Looks fantastic Quiet! Red light is not insanely bright, more of a warm glow

Cons: Slight vibration issue (see comments) somewhat fragile intel clips (see comments)

Overall Review: I have a core 2 quad (Q6600) and while running on max load my temps never get above 51C on my hottest core. I also keep the fan on full blast all the time because it's still quieter than all of my case fans. The clips did cause me some trouble as two of them broke when I twisted the ends to lock them, this was quickly fixed by stealing two clips from the old stock cooler. As far as the vibration issue goes yes, there is one, however it is a very minor one and does not affect cooling performance thus it is not enough of an issue to deduct an egg. Overall I am very happy with this product.

Pros: Great cooling Looks beastly Easy to install

Cons: Big and bulky Short 3 pin cable / control module

Overall Review: 1100T phenomII OC'd at 4.0, stable, mid-40's -- cant ask for anything more. The sink is great. I idle in the low 20's with hi load giving me no more than mid-40's. Highly recommend.

Pros: This cooler is a real beauty, very subtle red glow to it. Keeps my older rig cool and good looking. Getting about 35-45c on my cores playing BF3 Beta at 100%

Cons: Yes it is big, and yes it does have a bit of a vibration problem (intel setup) but the Vibration problem was fixed for me when I removed and reattached the mounting brackets for intel processors. Don't be afraid to torque down on those screws( and a little bit of blue thread lock doesn't hurt either). some people say the red on the led isn't bright enough for them. I like it its not super ZOMG lights up the room bright. It is by no means something you should buy if your looking for an air cool alternative to liquid, definitely a midrange for normal processors.

Overall Review: looks cool fairly cheap and better than my cheapo oxidized dust covered heat sink. Some people might be leery of the plastic clips for intel chips but as my mobo is mounted horizontally its not a big deal. Kinda looks like HAL9000 (ask your parents) staring at me while I play.

Pros: I love this heatsink. I was looking for something to fit on my GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H and this totally fit the bill. And it matched my red color scheme - so that was definitely a plus. Cools great and is completely silent. When from the AMD Phenom II stock cooler which was horrible. Install was an absolute breeze. So easy that I was actually a little suspicious at first. I've never installed a CPU cooler without loosing a little blood :-P This thing looks really amazing. Shiny metal blades, red LED and silent cooling - it is definitely my favorite upgrade so far :)

Cons: Absolutely none.

Overall Review: This is the heatsink you've been looking for.

Pros: it is very quiet my case fans are louder then it. i have a phenom X6 clocked at 3.3 ghz and it stays ice cold

Cons: the thermal paste that comes with it is not any good
