What can I say, this cooler is fantastic! Literally just got this an hour ago and installed it. Operating prime95 suitable now on i5 2500k o/c to four.2gigs. For these curious I have tall heatsink RAM and only have two 4gb sticks in my p67 sabertooth, on the other hand this cooler will NOT obstruct your other dimm slots!!Stock cooler: idle 34c , beneath load 85c+Hyper 520: idle 28c, beneath load 58cAlso even under complete load these fans are quieter than the stock i5 2500k and appear to aid cool the rest of my system as nicely. 3 pin fans but I plugged the 3 pin into my 4 pin mobo connector and it will regulate the fan speeds.Directions had labeled the fan blowing in the opposite dirrection of how the fans are installed. As per other critiques i tested the fans before installing to make positive I mounted this cooler properly.Install was simple but somewhat time consuming if you have no mobo tray cutout. Wonderful cooler for the money, got it on sale for ษ. Thanks newegg!!Originally looked at the hyper212 but a handful of points I saw had been additional beneficial to the hyper520; size: wanted a cooler that would not obstruct dimm slots. Price: was on sale for ฟ off. Fans: intake and exhaust fan included.

This baby keeps my quad core cooler than my motherboard when it is idling (my cpu is a power hog and tends to be a hotter processor) and keeps it about 45 -50 degrees celcius when its at 75% load. Its giant? Make positive you have the room in your case for it, luckily I did. I got mine for like ษ on sale, if you have the room, definitely do it. Its fairly quiet as well

Looks cool! Keeps your CPU cool, even if the fans aren't running!(see other thoughts) OC'ed e8400ƒ years later, wish I hadn't waited!) to 3.8 no sweat. At 100% load it stays around 55° and goes down to 42° or so as soon as I turn off prime95. Had to uninstall the motherboard as I did this on my 2 year old system. Not seriously a con, of course I knew that ordering this. But man all that dust... Most likely good to get all my dead skin out of there :P Following I installed it I ran it for a though and it was cooling just fine, later I opened the situation and neither fan was running =\ It was my fault of course. The CPU power cable was stopping the back fan from moving, and the front fan was unplugged most most likely in the course of the install approach. I employed some electrical tape to hold the wire out of the way 8)Also new pc parts are like X-mas only far better!

Comment:
Decent cooler with 5 heat pipes. Keeps my 4.7Ghz Sandy Bridge below 70C. The fans arn't also loud, the video card drowns them out. Not the most leading finish out there, but I didn't knock it an egg due to the fact it is low-cost for its efficiency. Kind of a discomfort to install. The retention technique calls for the use of some modest nuts that are hard to get began although holding the heat sink up on the other side of the board.

-Simple Install-Good Value-Looks Hard Doesn't have LEDs Purchased for ะ. Installed pretty very easily. Any individual who can open a book should have no challenge installing this by themselves. I did it in about 5 minutes and this is my very first ever personal computer build. Will purchase once again in my subsequent create. Fits perfectly with about 1ǘ" clearance from my side case fan. Barely clears my RAM with heat spreaders but doesn't cover any of them. Make sure you have a massive sufficient situation. Cooler Master is a fantastic business and makes a great item. Extremely pleased I went with this cooler.

I use this cooler for an AMD Phenom II X6 1100T on a Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5. Very quiet with even with its 2 fans operating at 100%. Leaves plenty of area on the Gigabyte board for RAM with big heat spreaders like the G.Ability Ripjaw series. Keeps it cool, even with with a moderate overclock temperature hardly ever exceeds 40 even beneath a load. None truly. I had to remove of a single of the side fans from my case mainly because to cooler is so tall, but I needed tall rather than wide due to RAM clearance concerns on the GA-890FXA-UD5. This is a single of the best coolers one particular will uncover for the AMD 890FX boards.

Looks cool, keeps my i7-950 at 37C at idle Loud! Sounds like my rig is going to take off! No PWM. I ordered two Arctic Cooling PWM fans (Item#: N82E16835186034) to replace the two Cooler Master fans that come installed on the heatsink. Hopefully this will reduce the sound. I also own the Cooler Master Hyper 212 which is a lot quieter and less costly.

Does the job, super quiet, great price tag, good quality and performance balance. - Does not appear genuinely excellent but better than the stock fanI have it on an AMD Phenom Black Edition II X6 Thuban 1100T three.3GHz and is operating all day at 2000 rpm it stays cold it is to significantly for this small 92mm-not excellent for overclocking, too substantially work!-Installation is somewhat complicated for one person-Buyer service is sad! I lost an anti vibration pad, and I ordered that much more than a week ago and no response, they made ??two stupid concernsŋ-description of the piece (you have it to describeƜ-why you want it? i requested simply because i need to have it! if you see the manual does not have number of parts just names! I had to get it on-line, NewEgg does not sell. maybe a high RPM fans

Comment:
Asofar, I am testing the product as a replacement of my stock cpu fan. I am quite happy so far; it going beyond my expectations. Researching into it, I just bought it mainly because it looked like the very best bang for the buck, but since it wasn't *supposedly* specialized for a six-core I did not expect crazy numbers. Even so, with the stock cooler I got an average of 37 *C, with this, I get an average of 21*C with 18*C immediately after waking up from sleep (should be noticed i used arctic silver five) None asofar... we will see how it performs when I begin OC'ing with prime95 numbers :) AMD Phenom II X6 1090T *presently stock clocks*MSI 870A Fuzion G.Ability x Ripjaws 8GB 1600Corsair 750w PSUATi (Gigabyte) HD5770HT|Omega Striker 7.1

Cons:splitter caused rpm misreads, minor issue(if at all)

Pros:Lower height, dual fans,
Comment:
With an intake fan on the side of the case I needed a lower profile fan, but still wanted it to be directional. The fan has lower height than most that have a similar design and still performs well.Using the Y-cable and connecting both fans to one connector caused an rpm flag upon boot, rpm would dip below acceptable default levels randomly. Easily remedied by connecting to separate connectors or disabling the RPM monitor as it's obviously caused by 2 fans being connected at once.

Installed on an AMD Athlon II x4 640 Propus OC'd to three.55Ghz. Brought my CPU temps on complete load down by 15c, on idle stays at a steady 27c and is very quiet. Applied Arctic Silver as an alternative of included thermal paste. Just fits in a Cooler Master Scout with the top rated side fan installed, and is about a mm away from touching the heat sinks built in on my DIMMs in the 1st slot. It was a bit awkward for me to hold the cooler in location as I began to secure the backplate and get the bolts on, but most most likely just my personal clumsiness.

Cons:None, zip, zilch, nada, zero, not applicable, theroretical, or possible. Simply put this product is perfect.*NOTE* Requires common sense and slight skill to install, which may be a problem for some judging by alot of the reviews

Pros:Nice Packaging-Amazing to look at if you like the industrial look-Great Price, now that they lowered it-Borderline Silent-Good Airflow-Incredibly Effective!!!

This is an update  to an already great review. I just wanted to clarify that I've now bought a second one and installed it on a clients Zosma overclocked 400 mhz with Artic Silver 5 in a Raven Rv03 and the temps are simply the best I've ever seen!*idle temps 15*load temps 24INCREDIBLE!!!!Cooler master has a lifelong customer (for cpu coolers anyway)OH BTW the second installation literally took less than 10 mins so people get a clue and learn how to assemble a computer, or just have me build it for you = P)

Keeps my 1090t 6 core cpu at a steady 29 degrees at idle.Have not tested it below a load however but I count on it will preserve points cool while below my motherboards supervision. Incredibly quiet. Looks considerably larger outside the case, doesn't look like it will fit in a mid-tower but there is a lot of space. NONE So uncomplicated to install a caveman could do it. Extremely uncomplicated install if you have half a brain. Don't let the horror stories fool you. Add some arctic silver five and you'll be chillin & grillin in no time.

It's really quiet, I can't even hear it until it spins up to 100%. I'm not overclocked, but it never ever spins up all the way unless I'm playing a game for a few minutes. Rediculous universal bracket demands 2 men and women to install. You have to stand your motherboard vertically and support the cooler although somebody else fastens the nuts. If they'd attached the threaded portion to the bottom bracket it'd be an simple 1 individual install.

Was effortless to installCools my 1055T 4.0ghz to 45 degrees C under load. (in an Antec 1200) It constantly appears to be leaning down but the level says its straight. Guess its my eyes. Some reviews say its "big" but it is common in size.

NOTE: I've had this cpu cooler installed for about 12 hours now.Earlier today I replaced my zalman orb style cooler with this beastly Cooler Master Hyper N520AMD Phenom X4 9850With the zalman I'd common 40 idle and 70 max ( a bit high I know)As of now, a couple of hours right after installing this cooler master heat sink I'm down to 28-32 idle and no additional than 58 maxI played BF::BC2::Vietnam @ 1600x1050 for 4 hours with a cpu temp no larger than 55 degrees. Only 1 I can think of is that it is huge (which one particular should be totally conscious of prior to acquire)This truth doesn't bother me at all, as I have a larger Antec case.Kinda wish cooler master included an adapter to run it direct to the power supply, which is the way I'm running it as of suitable now. When my new mobo arrives, I'll make the call which way to run it with that. For the dollars, I don't think you can beat the overall performance. I have a new mobo coming later this week, when I install it, I plan on doing a entirely new/clean Arctic five job.

Keeps my Phenom II X4 around 35C below usual load, around 45C overclocked beneath high load. Looks sharp. None The instructions are a bit vague as to air-flow. Look at the fans and figure out the orientation that meets your setup ahead of you mount it due to the fact it is heavy and not the easiest to re-install.

Does what it's supposed to do.Fantastic showing off point to friends (size matters). Had to tear apart my whole tower to install it. Finding to the other side of the motherboard is a pain, but I required to vacuum the issue out anyway. I have a Athlon Phenom II x4 processor.

Keeps my AMD Phenom II X4 three.2 GHz Processor (overclocked to 3.82GHz) at 30c Idle and 50c Full Load. I thought I'd be able to get to four.0GHz prior to finding close to the heat wall but I wasn't in a position to. I'll admit my OC expertise is low but I felt due to the size of the cooler and it's push pull configuration I would be able to maintain my processor cooler than it currently.I am nevertheless quite happy with it thought.
