Thermaltake CLP0596 130mm Frio Advanced CPU Cooler

Pros: Looks way cool and runs ALMOST as quiet as my 120mm stand alone fans. Dual fans for Intake and Outtake air flow. Full copper heat pipes too. Great buy for the price. Keeps everything around 40°c under full load. And that's an 8-Core!

Cons: EXTREMELY heavy and GARGANTUAN. Weighs 954g and the measurements are 130.6(L) x 122(W) x 159.2(H) mm. Newegg does not post this! measure your case first WITH the motherboard! I may have to return it because of this. Losses an egg because of the size and weight and the nearly one week shipping time.

Overall Review: Got a big case? Buy it. Worth it. Mid ATX case? Measure before you buy. Measurements are posted above on CONS.

Pros: VERY NICE DESIGN! This thing is rock solid and built to last! Very easy installation (details are a little rough on the paper but not enough to take an Egg.. not the fans fault.) Looked a little itimidating in size at first.. didnt know how it would fit on my Mobo and cover my RAM slots (only covers 1st slot closest to CPU on a Z77 Sabertooth!) but after install it not only looks nice, but its size makes it a squeeze if you not using a full tower. so buyer beware!

Cons: Mine was missing a thumb nut in the install kit, did not RMA.. just ordered 4 new ones straight from Thermaltakeusa.com for 5.99 ... no bigs and is way faster/ cheeper. that was my only problem, this thing is AWESOME!

Overall Review: do a good item count before you start installing! Mine is mounted on a ASUS Sabertooth Z77 mobo on top of an Intell 3770k i7 in a Rosewill Thor tower... amazing fit... amazing look! GREAT BUY!

Pros: Very good cooler! Looks great on a Asus ROG X79 Mobo with the red fan blades and all. The installation was very easy and hassle free despite the bad instructions. I get 25c-28c Idle with this thing and 36c-38c under load. It might hit 40c on a hot summer day but it still blew my expectations away. I also like how there is a couple of arrows on top of the thing showing you which way the air is going to blow. Little touches like that go a long way. Also the price is very reasonable for a dual fan cooler. Couldn't be happier with it. (for the price =P)

Cons: The instruction booklet that it comes with wasn't great. You can tell they didn't have alot of room for the instructions since they need to put it in every language on the planet. Which is a shame because the instructions on Thermaltake's website are stellar. To be fair this seems to almost always be the case with these things. I still managed just fine with it though.

Overall Review: About Newegg not listing the dimensions. If you order something without knowing how big it is, its on you. The Thermaltake website has the dimensions listed so the information is out there. I do think the dimensions should be listed here on Newegg for convenience sake. I had no clearance issues with Corsair low profile RAM, in fact I think it still has about half an inch of clearance over my RAM. Height: 160mm Width: 122mm Width Fan-Side: 130mm

Pros: I got x2 130mm I can still use.

Cons: Where do I start? WAY TOO BIG. It covers up a RAM slot and weighs so much it never did sit properly against the CPU. Hung down at an angle. I had put the brackets on just like the book said to and had tightened them down as much as I could. Had way too much play in it to trust turning on that CPU. PLASTIC PIECES BREAK OFF EASILY. I will not be able to return this thing because while dismantling it one of the fan brackets broke off and the plastic screw spacers had stripped. I was pretty upset. If you are looking for a nice CPU cooler - look elsewhere. This one is too big and the plastic breaks off - rendering it unreturnable.

Overall Review: I shouldn't have listened to my friend on this one, I do not overclock so the CPU fan that came with my CPU will be more than enough and give me room to work in the tower.

Pros: This is a Monster!!! just Idle is 15C and under Load is 40C and whats Great you can Swap the Fans for Betterones and with Auto Adjust RPM Fans increase and decrease fan speed with needed.I am really pleased with this would definitely recommend.

Cons: Only real Con for me was the Installation but everything else is great

Pros: Excellent cooling. Keeps my Vishera 6300 six core at a 34c idle temp and around 42c under load.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This mounted perfectly on my ASUS M5A99FX board. I'm also using GSkill Ripjaw ram with high heat spreaders and I can use all 4 slots. The ram and fan on heatsink almost touch. It all fit together like they were made for each other.

Pros: Looks nice, has 2 fans, and keeps my 3820 at a steady 29C.

Cons: It took me an hour and a half to get it put together. If your motherboard already has a plate on the back do not use the plate that comes with it! The screws will not be long enough! The washers are also made out of really cheap plastic.

Overall Review: Don't use the thermal paste they give you. Spend the money and get some Arctic Silver 5

Pros: Insane cooling difference! Before I put this monster in my case, my I-5 would hit temps up to 72C playing Bioshock infinite. So far it hasn't gone above 32C. So happy right now!

Cons: When I called this thing a monster before, I meant it. I was prepared for this heat sink to be big, but dang this thing is massive. I've got a big case so it wasn't an issue. But, just a heads up. It's very big. Also, the instructions, as others have mentioned, do kind of suck. I know newegg has some instructional videos on their site for heat sinks somewhere. Those are much more helpful.
