performs great! keeps every little thing cool and as quiet as a mouse. with cm storm case i cant hear a point from my computer system except when booting up nothing

The cooler does what it's supposed to. The fans move a TON of air and I haven't identified them to be that loud at all. The install was a bit confusing. Given that the cooler is 99% symmetrical, it was difficult to inform which way it went. The instructions had the slotted portion of the front facing downward, so that's how I place it on (label was upside down). It turns out that this is backwards and blows air towards the front. Rather than taking it out and reapplying Arctic Silver, I just unscrewed the fans and flipped the over. Fairly easy and now it runs like a dream. Men and women require to quit complaining about the size of this point. The dimensions are listed when you obtain it, and it's honestly not that massive.

This N520 is a incredibly nice cooler for 35 bucks. Push/Pull with dual 92cm fans all connected to one 3-pin connection. All round item is very strong with copper base and the installation hardware was a breeze. Keeps my i7 950 quad core correct 30c - 32c ( Idle ) at @ 3.five more than-clock on my Asus p6X58D Premiun Mobo. Also an additional thing is that its only 141mm tall and my main studio computer system sits in a 3U server rack mount so i fit perfectly. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT Underestimate this CPU Cooler People. For 35 Dollars it out performs my Spire Thermax Eclipse II cooler which I'm going to have lapped in a few days for my gaming rig. Don't hesitate if your looking for a good more than-clock or straightforward greater than stock heat-sink cooling. Trust Me I Have 3...... Did I Mention Quiet too, Yes my Server chassis has extra sound dampening applied to the inside but i only hear my Intake Fan......Vaguely I only docked a single egg due to the fact cooler master need to have manufactured a 4-pin connection instead of 3 but i bet they have their reasons for this........ I Know alot of people complain about temps, installation, and so forth... If you know what you want to do regardless of whether its over-clocking, modding, whatever... Do your homework and whats correct for your P.C. Create. If you have to take away your mobo then take away it, use greater cable management. There are alot of components involved when attempting to keep temps low and cool. Peace

great CPU cooler for the dollars. even though i will agree there are naturally better air coolers readily available, they are Much greater in cost per the smaller efficiency advantage you would get. whilst there are some here that appear not to have gotten extremely excellent outcomes from this cooler, i will have to disagree, my temps with CPU overclocked is 32C idle & 45C below load. sadly like other reviewers of this cooler, i will have to agree that it isnt the easiest to mount & directions are for the most part useless. I mounted by myself with small difficulty, but only due to the fact i did Enormous investigation on the product & read all you guys critiques, so i knew what i was acquiring into & mounted it prior to i ever mounted the mainboard in the case. this is my construct specsASUS Rampage Formula IIIintel i7-950 OC to 3.47GHZCoolerMaster Hyper N520 CPU coolerG.Ability DDR3 1600MHZ OC to 1654MHZ pt# F3-12800CL6T-6GBPIWestern Digital 1TB SATA IIdual eVGA GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 ram super clockedRosewill 950watt PSUAntec 900 caseLG DVD/CD read/writer SATA II drive

Keeps my CPU incredibly cool (with the enable of my fan set up) I would say its about at excellent as the V8 Cooler Master. It has smooth copper on the bottom to make excellent connection to disipate heat. Could have integrated Arctic Silver rather of thier brand compund. I utilized arctic silver as an alternative of thier brand compound. i have applied it on several systems and in no way had a cooling dilemma. Also for extra facts i am running a Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition 3.5GHz.

It has 3 fans,keeps inside incredibly cool.Low cost. Lots of room to perform. Good black finish,mesh to aid the case breathe.Did i say low expense....I discovered hard drives simple to mount. A tiny flimsy...not adequate to take off an egg.. it expense me ๆ

Operates with LGA 1155. Keeps my i5-2500 idle at 41C / 105F. Large cooler, barely fits in my micro ATX develop and nearly obscures the SATA connectors for CD drives.The airflow is in the incorrect path!!! This cooler is anti-ATX as it is presently pushing air from the back to the front of my situation. This defeats the purpose of getting a fan in the front of the case to draw air in. If you can, install it backwards from the directions and just reach the power cable the extended way about.Also, it's ideal to have a 2nd person support you with this set up. It's challenging to screw on all the bolts from the bottom utilizing the screwdriver attachment included in the box.

It lowered my idle temps on my amd 965 ʃ.7 from 45 to 33 my, max. temps went from 70 to 40 on games like america's army three and hero's 5 it is really big safe it effectively. this factor did specifically what i wanted it to do.

from what i can see now owning this mainboard & all of the testimonials, i will have to agree with most here and say this is one outstanding mainboard. didnt ever consider i would really feel a mainboard is stunning, but this 1 is. also i havent employed an intel product in nearly 10years & i would have to say it is very extraordinary. brilliant functions on the board, a lot more then most will ever use, and spacing for GPUs is great as properly. none that i can think of...it wasnt free?? this is my construct specsASUS Rampage Formula IIIintel i7-950 OC to three.47GHZCoolerMaster Hyper N520 CPU coolerG.Talent DDR3 1600MHZ OC to 1654MHZ pt# F3-12800CL6T-6GBPIWestern Digital 1TB SATA IIdual eVGA GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 ram super clockedRosewill 950watt PSUAntec 900 caseLG DVD/CD read/writer SATA II drive

having low idle/load temps is always a plus. easy to install. None as of but. this issue has a 3 pin y connector for each fans. so when you hook it to the 4pin cpu fan header on the mobo, you can nonetheless adjust the speed on these fans. you have to appear in your manual and itll tell you what pins to hook it to.

For the low cost of this cpu cooler/heatsink, it certain does cool the phenom ll x6 1100T @ 3.7 with the turbo function. It is not to out of handle big.Match best on to my msi 890fxa mobo,did not cover any of the ram slots,and fit inside my mid size situation(not by considerably but hey it fits)Nice push pull feature with the fans. when mounting heatsink to mounting bracket 1 out of the four screws would not go in all the way.It was either the screws threads that were messed up,or the threads in the screw hole.So as it seemed extremely secure with 3 screws holding it..i went with only three screws...not at all joyful about it,but you get what you spend for. They ought to send a couple extra screws,even though i really consider it was the threads inside the bracket. For the value it does its job fantastic. I had to take off two eggs simply because my heatsink is only secured by three screws! :( Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Buyer - We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Very quietgreat coolingkeeps my stock amd 955 around 30 degrees idleand no higher than 43 beneath load it fit in my case (antec 300)but is a small largeand i wish the fans did much more cfm, just result in im a cooling addict :) the two fans are 1800 rpm every singlei wonder how much the second fan is truly carrying out..food for thoughtcertainly would recommend, great solution

Cools my i5-2500k @ four.4Ghz with ease, temps droped 15c under load compared to the stock intel cooler! Cooler looks to be quality build, great solid copper base, two fans for push/pull produce incredibly good airflow. Uncomplicated installation except the con bellow.. Manual showed the airflow going the opposite way, so I installed it as the manual showed and hot air was moving away from the rear exhaust fan of the case! I had to eliminate the MB from the case and do it all over once more. Temps dropped 5C when the airflow was corrected! Intel Cooler was so bad that i had to acquire an aftermarket cooler, temps would hit 74-75C soon after just a couple of mins of Prime95 at stock frequency Ɠ.3Ghz) with this cooler my chip is humming in the 65-67C, touches a high of 69C for a fraction of a sec. following hours of Prime95 @ four.4Ghz. After hours of gaming Core Temp registered an absolute high of 60C. Leaves me a lot of space for additional OCing in the future.

Five heatpipes. Dual fans with excellent bearing excellent/balance. Mounting hardware makes it possible for you to either blow to top rated or blow to rear of a tower setup. If you were ever worried your fan was assisting in bending your cpu socket downward, and warping your motherboard additional than it ought to, orienting blowing toward the rear might give you a bit more peace of mind. Seems to cool pretty much as properly as its legendary ฮ Brethren. Beautifully polished copper on the make contact with plate. Not seriously a con, but to control fan speed a single would require a voltage-based, not PWM (standard 4 pin control) based cpu fan handle setting in the bios; an alternative some nicer boards provide. It is a three pin connector with both fans Y-ed into it. Basic is great. Max cooling is very good. Run wide open! This cooler's noise is extremely sensible for having two fans

Comment:
I purchased this based on the fantastic critiques that it has and for the pricetag. Not truly a con, but for the life of me I don't see how this can mount to my Asus Sabertooth X58 motherboard.I have an i7 950 and for now I'm just employing my stock heatsink with no issues however. Does everyone have this mounted to an Asus Sabertooth X58 with an i7 950?I don't see how the brackets could achievable line up to the holes.:(

Comment:
Don't know? Have'nt received it yet. It's in the mail. Looks great I somehow overlooked the 3 pin connector, I need a four pin. I'm certain it's a good cooler but three pin is absolutely useless to me. It will go in the trash unopened. Not Neweggs fault. Folks!!!!, DO YOUR Study!!! DOUBLE CHECK!!! just before you push the button. Not going to give it a undesirable egg 'cause I did'nt do my study. Cooler Master..why are you making a 3 pin still???????

Comment:
Effectively, my Raidmax Altas situation is extremely slim ~ 7" and I didnt believe a 120mm fan would fit - i was proper so I'm content with the purchaseFar better then stock, looks really great. dual fan in push pull with the fans currently connected so you only use 1 mobo header 3 pin. really need to be 4 pin pwm since its a cpu cooler. i get decent temps with my i5 2500k at 4GHz. Id actually like to push it closer to four.5GHz but i dont assume ill try it with this cooler.

Comment:
Installed with no problem, and size is not an issue in a Mid size tower. The fan is recognized even though it's a three-pin. Fantastic air flow, and the directions didn't confuse me, even if you did have confusion, it's not hard to see which way the fan is placed on the heat sink and see which way the fan scoops the air. Effortless to install but i didn't use the thermal paste it came with, i used arctic silver. I am Extremely pleased with this product. None so far, will update if any come. Bang for buck.

Comment:
From making use of a Stock AMD fan on my 945 @ stock speeds very same ambient air temp 23 C dropped my processor down from 34 to 26 at idle.The heat transfer plate at the bottom is to a mirror finish, and it also incorporates its personal thermal grease. Cords are an awkward length and there is no shielding on the bottom fan; I required to tuck additional cables away from the unit. Kind of a major unit takes up a ram slot adjacent to challenging drive.

works actually nicely, dropped my CPU temp by practically 10c. looks good and is beefy. mounting technique leaves a lot to be preferred. having to take away the MB from the chassis is a discomfort and then you will need three hands to mount the heatsink. I dropped 1 egg for the hassle of the mounting system. this point is Actually large! I had to eliminate a side fan for the case to close and I have a CM 869 II advanced case and it is DEEP. effectively constructed and functions well after lastly getting it mounted on the board. I have this on a sandy bridge core i7 and it was operating at 91 degrees F with the stock sink, with this a single it runs at 77 F right after playing Rift for a couple of hours, and 71 to 73 F idle. this alone tends to make this sink worth the ฮ price tag tag.

Cools like a charm. Stock heatsink was maintaining my CPU at full load about 78C at stock clocking, which is 2.8Ghz. After I installed this heatsink, I saw a drastic drop in temps, operating complete load 24C cooler on typical...at three.8Ghz. I have nevertheless to see my CPU hit 60C. I recommend this heatsink to anyone who wants to overclock. It doesn't make me a sammich? I actually have no complaints, other than it literally takes two men and women to mount this factor.

High airflowReally quietQuite distinctive appearanceOne-size-fits-all bracketsNice heatpipe style Somewhat complicated to set upIntegrated directions incorrect on airflow direction Installation is straightforward, but needs a unique setup, some preparation, or two people today. Heatsink ought to be held in spot and then bolted to a bracket beneath the motherboard. Attempting to do this yourself devoid of setting up for it is challenging.Also, after I accomplished the installation, I was worried that the airflow was backward, because the pictures in the directions indicated it was. Luckily the fans have tiny arrows on them indicating spin direction and airflow direction.This HSF is one of the biggest components in my build, and looks great in a windowed situation.Despite its size, it doesn't conflict with my RAM slots or PCIe slot even on a Micro-ATX board.

functions good, value is great, great airflow, fits in my antec 300 perfectly fine none

Anything truly. It is somewhat tiny compared to coolers that have similar performance, really efficient, and comparatively simple to install. Efficiency is second to none at this price tag point and fan size. I would've preferred a 4-pin fan connection, but that's trivial. All you need to have to do is connect it to a fan controller or into a three-pin header on your motherboard to control the RPM. The two fans are the loudest in my case at the moment, but that's only mainly because I'm operating them at total RPM and the other people at 40% power. I have an AMD Phenom II x4 965BE @ 4.01GHz and 1.45v, at the moment running Prime for a tiny over 4 hours with an ambient temp of about 28C. I haven't seen core temps go above 54C and CPU temp (I don't truly know the distinction) has stayed beneath 56C.If this cooler isn't performing nicely, you haven't installed it right or do not have sufficient airflow in your case. I initially installed it incorrect but it was incredibly forgiving and gave 100% load temperatures of about 53C at stock clocks. Immediately after noticing what I did incorrect (Used the rubber washers simply because I tend to be stupid like that), I reinstalled it and the angels sang. Best CPU cooler at this cost range, and I'm sure that anyone who has installed the cooler correctly will back me up on that.Get it, you won't regret it.

It does it's job as intendedperforms wellreally quietnice searchingnot as well major.I7 960 clocked @ 3.8ghz maxes at 90c I was expecting slightly better since my original cpu cooler I purchased when the I7 series came out Vigor Moonsoon cools greater than this slightly. Don't get me wrong this cooler cools great sufficient it's just I would have figured they would have produced an boost given that two years ago but I was wrong. Decent cooler not the best overclocking cooler but it will do the job even if you do choose to over clock.
