  • Good cooling! Great top down cooler!
Style: Top Flow
Replaced a stock AMD cooler on my old AM3 (AMD Phenom II x6 1090T) build, with no problems on install or setup. Looks great and I actually prefer the look of the top flow more than the standard tower. The fan is extremely quiet, and ramps up and down as it should. I dont have any overheating while running 3DMark (Firestrike), Heaven Benchmark 4 or any game, so far. Didn't have any problems during install, very easy and simple instructions if you don't jump ahead of the step with the standoffs/spacers. The only question I had with the install was that it seemed more "loose" than I wanted. Once my thermal paste cured a bit its solid now, so maybe it is just me being picky. Great install though! The height of the fins is high enough to have space for my DDR3 RAM with coolers underneath. Installed on a Asus Crosshair IV mobo with 125W TDP processor (overclocked pulling 141.6W TDP), Patriot Viper RAM, Asus TUF GTX 1660 Super, Thermaltake 600W PSU. If anything negative happens in the future, I will try to update. ... show more

  • the retention clip is pretty stiff and the cooler will slide around on you ...
Style: Tower
A lot of cooling for the buck! For reference, this cooler is approximately in the same class as the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo but has the advantage of being a little shorter so that it will fit in narrower mid tower cases that the CM Hyper 212 Evo will not. PWM fan is quiet and never ramped up while stress testing my Ryzen 1600 overclocked to 3.8 Ghz. Max stress testing temps under Prime95 were low 60s Celcius. As others have said, the retention clip is pretty stiff and the cooler will slide around on you some as you try to secure it. So don't skimp on the thermal paste. But you can bet that stiff clip makes for a lot of good contact pressure. Cools about the same whether or not you put the fan in push or in pull configuration which can be a nice benefit in cramped cases. I like the fact that the fan footprint is larger than the fin stack so that it blows air under the stack through the pipes so as to afford some air flow across the VRM heatsink when the fan is placed in the traditional push configuration at the back of the cooler. As others have also said, the fan retention clip wires are a little difficult to snap in place and even harder to unsnap. They hand up in the fins. Thermaltake should give some attention to this as it is not necessary. MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT is the stubborn adhesive they used to secure the base protector plastic film. I had to scrub and scrub with alcohol to remove it. Also unnecessary and Thermaltake should change this. A lot of people will not know this needs to be cleaned and so will experience compromised cooling efficiency by not doing so. ... show more

  • This fan is practically silent! Well built product with some takeaways!
Style: Tower
The media could not be loaded. I rated this product 4 stars but realistically it was more like 3.5 stars. So, I’ll preface this review by saying that this CPU fan does work well. I put this fan on an LGA 1155 socket CPU. I built a desktop PC out of spare parts I had left over and needed a durable CPU fan. The installation was easy until it was time to secure it to the motherboard. Installing it on a micro ATX motherboard didn’t help my situation, but I finally got it installed. I did like the plastic push pins and the universal backplate/bracket; they were easy to install. The only issue I had with the installation was that the CPU fan was so big that installing it on my micro ATX board was nearly impossible. I typically install the fan on the side where the DIM slots are but again, due to me using a micro ATX board, I could not do this, unfortunately. I had to flip the fan to the opposite side; not a huge deal, but I figured it was worth a mention. I also had to apply ridiculous force to get both sides to properly latch. The amount of pressure I had to use is not ideal when working with delicate parts such as a motherboard, and I feel something definitely needs to be improved in that area of design. It honestly felt like I was going to break through the motherboard with the amount of force necessary to get it to latch. I followed the “instructions” (or lack thereof) verbatim, which was not hard to do since they were basic and just visual illustrations. I’ve been building computers for 22 years, and this was the most challenging CPU cooler to install. I typically install Cooler Master on all of my PC builds (which are a breeze to install), but I figured since this PC was for me and the Thermaltake price was right, I’d give it a chance. I don’t regret buying it, but I wish the installation’s final step was a better experience. So the good things about the fan: The 4 Copper heat pipes make a big difference when it comes to cooling. Impressive fan speeds (shown in the video and pic). I tested this fan at 100%, and it topped out at 1590 RPMs, slightly over the claimed max speed of 1500 RPMs. It is definitely a well-built product and has a solid name behind it. Nearly silent! Even at 100% fan speed, the fan noise was barely audible with my case closed. The price and performance are definitely worth it. Takeaways for me: The force needed to secure the fan to the bracket was absurd. This is a big takeaway as it can lead to severe damage. The installation was tight for me on a micro ATX board. The fan couldn’t clear the leftmost ram stick, so I had to install the fan on the opposite side. The installation instructions need improvement. So, overall, once it is installed, you will love it. I do not regret my purchase but hope some things are improved in the future to make this the perfect fan/choice. ... show more

  • Great cooler.
Style: Tower
This cooler is really nice and pretty easy to install. I installed mine on an older GB ga-ma770t-ud3p mobo with a Phenom 2 x6 1090t BK that I had laying around. The mobo bracket that comes with the cooler would definitely not fit my board. The screw holes were all wrong. Luckily the bracket that came with the board worked perfectly. I don't see any issues other than the bracket possibly being an issue for other users. Now I can OC this thing and try to push 4+ ghz. Without OC with my PC in a Florida garage on a 95 degree day the CPU cores are at 97°. Super stoked. ... show more

  • Why make installation so difficult
Style: Top Flow
I am so much against these company’s wanting you to dismantle the computer just to put in there fan. They all mount to the motherboard and you should be able to use what is already there. All the extra hardware is An overkill. Make them to fit Intel or AMD without having to remove the existing hardware. I am not A fan of removing the motherboard just to install there special brace. If it is A liquid cooling setup I understand but make there are coolers A more basic setup without alll the extra parts, I had to dremel the screw holes on the metal part just to get the screws in to install it after removing the stock plate from the motherboard. The cooler works good but the install was way too difficult. The water cooler is easier to put in than this ... show more
