Low-noise Mode(1,8002,600rpm) - Supports all speeds
Heatsink
Rating: - Really smooth
This is a very good heat sink. It's a little bit big but if you have a mid tower case you should not have problems installing it in your system. My CPU (AMD Athlon 64 bit 3.0 GHz 6000+) runs around 45 degrees Celsius without load and around 65 degrees under full load. According to fan speed the rpm is 2660 RPM!!. One more thing. Remember that i don't have ac in my room!!
If you where wondering if you can connect to CPU directly to the Mobo instead of connecting it to the speed controller well guess what you can.
Rating: - Works well but not exactly whisper quiet.
I think this does a better job then the stock cooler, as it directs the heated air out the back of the case. One of the easier ones to install, took all of 5 min. One down side for me is the fan, while quiet, is not totally silent. But then I expect my PC to make no noise at all when it is running. Probably not the best choice for a HTPC. I think the price is a bit on the high side also.
Rating: - Great CPU Cooler
Works Great. nice design, well built. Keeps CPU around 44-50C at full load. Install was very simple, just one clip that easily attaches to cpu mount on motherboard. Pretty big though, so I wouldnt recomend it to anyone without at least mid-size case.
Rating: - Very efficient
Well this is quite a cpu cooler I must say. It has my Amd Athlon X2 6000+ at about 35 degrees Celsius on full load, which is what my liquid cooling had it at before I threw that out.Make sure that you have enough space in your computer case before you buy this monster though. You can't tell on the page, but this thing is an enormous hunk of metal!
