Thermaltake Frio Universal CPU Cooler support Intel lastest 6-core Processors - Retail

Comment:
This is one of the finest cpu air coolers that I have owned. It is ultra quiet and cools quite nicely even on a low fan speed setting. The ones that I can see for builders is the size. Although it does not cover as substantially actual estate as other cpu coolers, this a single does call for a case with a lot of room. Also the use of second fan can be hindered, depending on the design and style of the motherboard. It can cover an region exactly where some memory modules sit. The directions are kind of awkward to comply with along, but numerous others have posted great techniques to set up this cpu cooler appropriately. The rubber insulators and plastic washers is exactly where most persons may well get confused as to exactly where to put them.

Simple install, took no time at all.Guidelines had been incredibly uncomplicated to stick to.It supports the Sandy Bridge processors and motherboards!Runs incredibly cool. OC'd 2600k idles at around 32deg C and 47deg C under huge load. Massive! It's roughly 6.50 inches tall so be sure you have a wide sufficient case. My NZXT Phantom was barely wide adequate. I was not able to use the added fan that came with it as it covers the first RAM slot on the MSI P67A-GD55.

Excellent Cooling! This issue is a MONSTER! I really like it... I have the fans set to mid speed and its quiet enough exactly where is matches the noise levels of other fans in my system... My CPU idles at 32c and maxes out about 48c and when I overclocked my AMD 9850 Quad Core from 2.5ghz at 1.2 volts to two.8ghz at 1.four volts my CPU temps stayed exactly the same at idle and load... sweet! Really heavy, but I expected as a lot...over 1000grams i assume... I in fact saw my motherboard flex a tiny bit when I let it go under its personal weight with no my hand supporting it. I was considering about generating a support bracket, but eh... I will leave it the way it is ...im content. If your married and have a ton of kids you most likely want to use the stock heatsink AMD offers you due to the fact you won't be able to afford this luxury. Thanks NEWEGG for the Quite Fast SHIPPING!

The high quality of this cooler is fantastic, and with testing it seems to do a great job... If you have something but typical memory modules it won't fit. The heatsinks on any half decent RAM will hit the top rated, in my case on the rampage III intense with some g-expertise, I would have had to take away the very first two memory slots. Not acceptable. Not worth it. This product is definitely not for everyone making a typical develop, but it possibly won't match in something but a common make, or quite specific board models where the memory slots are far enough.

Cools effectively, fans have extremely good pull/push ratio, not to loud, and have manual fan speed adjustments. The point is Enormous. I have an Antec 1200 case and had to take my gpu fan off the side door since of how large this thing is. I dont see how you could possibly fit this in a smaller case.

Comment:
Very very good at its job none this factor is 1 huge so be prepared if you get it. i new it was gonna be large and i was nonetheless shocked and i didnt understand i had to pull our my motherboard to install it but no large deal worth it since my six core at 3.8 ghz is operating at 16 c at idle and about 28 under load.

Mounts in any orientation of 360 degrees (in 90 degree increments). Adjustable speed fans. Optional secondary 120mm fan included for mounting on the other side of the unit. Adapters for 1366, 1155 and AMD sockets included in the box. None at all. Adjusted the fan speeds a small above stock just to the point before they started receiving too loud for my taste. I guess Thermaltake could engineer a spot to mount these fan speed adjusters to the side of the unit, but that's just being very picky about it.

Excellent air flow is the initial factor I seen as I soon as I hit the energy button. It feels like a hurricane in my case. At it's lowest speed setting the fan is silent and thats at 1200 or so RPM, at total speed, the fans get noisy, but it you have radeon HD4870 with stock cooling, then you won't even discover it. It is actually light, I was worried when I seriously saw how huge this believe was, that it was gonna actually tension the MB, but fairly the opposite. There is definitely no bending or torquing of the MB. I don't have an challenge with it clearing my memory sticks or the capacitors. (I have an Asus Rampage Formula Board) THIS Factor IS HUUUUGE. It will be a challenge for these who have anything else other than a total tower.I have a Thermaltake XaserIV and it's just about an inch clearance involving the side panel and the fan and almost certainly yet another two-two 1ǘ inch clearance in between the rear fan and the FRIO. With that mentioned, for these of you with the very same board as I have or has a related configuration where that 8-pin Power plug is positioned in between the CPU and the I/O panel, you will will need some little hands to get that plug in. So far there are no overall performance troubles with this HSF unit and I doubt there will be. As mentioned in earlier post you will have to set up it on the MB ahead of you can install the mother board in the case (and if it hasn't turn out to be obvious to you as but, you will have to take the MB out the case).If you are installing it in a case like mine that has a fan directly by the CPU, be certain to note the path of airflow for that fan. Ex. If it's an exhaust fan, (sucking air out the case) then make certain that the HSF fan is oriented such than it pulls air from inside the case and pushes it out in the direction of the exhaust fan.If it is an intake fan, make sure the HSF is oriented in such a way that it pulls air from the back of the case into the case (if this is the case make sure you have other exhaust fans in the case or you could have heat create up about other components) I would not suggest that you have the exhaust fan (directly by the CPU) airflow conflict with the airflow of the frio simply because you could make an overtemp predicament for your capacitors.

Maintain the cpu cool even when overclocking. I in no way see it obtaining hotter than it should. Operating a Core I7 860 overclocked to three.7 with turbo tech., and hyperthreading. At idle low 30 deg. C with prime 95 operating at one hundred percent for 10 minutes 52 deg C max. and fans adjusted to 20?? Rpm. This is an awesome cooler. Work pulling my motherboard to install, some of you won't have this issue but, for those of you that will have this difficulty. Its nicely worth it. Quite huge don't advocate this for anything but a full size tower if you got a mid size tower stay away from this. I had to eliminate four fans mounted on the side wall of the case, but that was nevertheless didn't quit me from utilizing it. This will be the very best buy for your income. You may well want to obtain some different thermal compound. Mine was a little dry for what you would generally expect. All round works very good but, hard to spread.

This cooler does an exceptional job. Great dual fan design. I haven't overclocked the processor but, but at the stock 3.2 ghzƖ core 1090 AMD black edition) the chip has only gotten as higher as 32 degrees celsius running Black Ops for hours. Same w/ Undesirable Company2 and Vietnam. I need to note that it is winter time as I write this, but I am particularly pleased with the temperatures. Noise level is very relative but I really feel this unit is fairly acceptable as far as air cooling goes. Not positive how loud the fans can really get mainly because the inline adjustment maxes out at what appears to be a low RPM (see cons). I truly hate to put anything right here, but there are a couple of things to note All of my previous heatsinks screw mounted in from the top rated. This one screws in from the bottom, which suggests you have to mount the heatsink on the motherboard Prior to you can mount the board inside the case.Perhaps it's personal preference, but I want to handle the MB as little as doable. Can't truly do that with this style.My only other challenge is that the fans are not 4 pin sensor handle form fans meaning you can't control their speed with the motherboard controller. They do come with inline speed adjustments, but I had to turn them all the way up (max) just to get the fans to even come on. (So generally they're either on or off) Proper now it's not an problem as I talked about the temps have been wonderful, but for down the road I may possibly have to appear in to receiving fans that are controllable from the motherboard. Heatsink is Huge! Had to remount a fan lower on my window to make room for this. Case is a mid tower case. The heatsink doesn't touch the window, but there is not a lot room among to the two. method:AMD PhenomII 1090 T Black Edition 6 core at three.2 ghzGigabyte 890 FXA UD5 motherboardATI HD 5770 video cardCritical ballistix ddr3 ƒx2gb) OC'd to 1600WD Caviar Black 500 GB sata drive750 W Corsair HX series power provideolder mid tower case w/ two 120 mm case fans and two 120 mm mounts on the window (only employing the bottom a single due to size of heatsink)FWIW - one fan comes mounted; you have to mount the other a single. Fans mount w/ rubber mounts that just pop on. Easy adequate. Was taking into consideration only giving 4 eggs becuase of the way this mounts to the MB. Just take your time with it. Patience and all that. I gave it the full 5 because I am receiving great cooling with this. Other Other thoughts - I did not use the supplied thermal paste. I stuck with the Arctic Silver.

Had almost everything I necessary for it to fit onto my motherboard. Directions were uncomplicated, liking the rubber screws a lot. Its genuinely quiet, and keeps my cpu at a very low temperature. Assembly is a bit tricky If you have a case that has a back hole allowing you access to the back of your motherboard where your cpu is. What helped me set up this heat sink by myself was i put the case to and edge of a table with the back of the mobo facing the ground so I can place the heatsink on best and lay down on the ground under it and place the screws in. Just an fyi that may possibly support you guys.

It's Large, an over-clocker CPU should never get "HOT" when working with this cooler. It's Big ~ pro/con I would advise a complete tower if you nevertheless want breathing space in there.

Comment:
Cools wonderful! Nothing at all about 30c so far. I don't tax my CPU also a lot or OC, I knew this cooler was overkill for what I was going to use it for, but it looks cool :P Pretty enormous, had to take the push fan off due to the fact it was hitting the heatspreaders on my RipjawsX RAM. I knew it was large, just wish my motherboard had that added five-6 cm of clearance. Superior cooler, would recommend to any individual.

Outstanding cooling, Exceptional hardware Bigger than a tiny dog, Louder too Opening the package was seriously daunting, this point is gigantic. The moment I got a deal with on the install process, installation was surprisingly uncomplicated. It would be great to have a fan controller on the outdoors of the situation, trying to sleep in the exact same space with that on complete speed is going to be tricky.Dropped the CPU temp over 30 degrees from the stock Intel cooler.A single last believed, a video of installation would be brilliant for this.

ProsɅ) Tremendous cooling power. I placed a thermocouple on the fin closest to the processor and it never gets over 39dC. The CPU temperature never ever exceeds 60dC, even at ridiculous overclocked load.two) Uncomplicated to installthree) Comes with brackets for multiple CPU arrangements The DrawbacksɅ) If you have a RAM fan, you cannot install the 2nd fan2) Large. Interferes with any side panel fans or devices you could have installedthree) Expensive The final word:Following playing with thing for a month I was going to give it four eggs, but I just can't bring myself to do it! The reason? It cools the CPU so properly with one fan the drawbacks don't matter! You won't want a side panel fan to draw off added heat. Also, you don't require a second fan on the heatsink to get powerful cooling. Even at 5GHz it never goes more than 50 degrees! I intentionally slammed my construct with CPU-intensive operations at high OC and could not get the CPU to heat up. At peak it read 59dC on the chip and 39dC on the heatsink. Merely astounding cooling overall performance.

Makes a Huge distinction from a stock cooler. I have a quad core i5- 760 in an antec 300 case. Even with my four situation fans, my temps reached 60+ in my desk, with this cooler my temps have dropped drastically- to the LOW 40's beneath load. It idles around the low 30's. -Quite big- blocks one RAM slot on my ASUS mother board- can be loud on the highest settings This is a great cooler for a person looking for a robust- non liquid cooling answer. I am nonetheless operating with my first create and found it uncomplicated to adhere to the instructions and install this.

Core i5-2500K overclocked to 4.7 Ghz - Low 1-Fan Idle: 3 Degrees Delta-T, Low 1-Fan Load: 27 Degrees Delta-T. Adequate said. Only making use of 1 fan on low right now since absolutely nothing else is required. Massive! It will block your very first ram slot on a P67 motherboard. Single fan on high is ridiculously loud.

Lots of parts to install on all varieties of sockets. Added fan integrated. Humongous. Wasn't capable to examine from specs if it would fit my board. I bought a Gigabyte P67A-UD3 and it did not fit due to the fact the bottom of the cooler's fins hit the best of my heatsinked RAM from G.Ability. Had I had RAM without an elevated heat spreader, then it would have worked.

this cooler is good, dropped my temps a lot... none my 1st aftermarket cooler, installed fine in in my antec 300 illusion , had to take mobo out to set up , dropped my program idle temp roughly 10 degrees cel. and amd 965 cpu 20 degrees celsius..

Comment:
This is an exceptional cooler. Had my i7-950 operating at 4.4GHz with no any problems at all.Great mounting bracket. Effortless to set up. It is Massive. You need to have a very good sized case to mount it in. Its Massive!Sorry i just cant get over how big it is. I had a Thermalright Ultra 120 and it tends to make that appear smaller. LOL

Comment:
Every little thing Zip I knew this point was gonna be large, but there is no way to prepare oneself for the "shock and awe" you feel at initial sight of a cooler like this 1....All I can say is "WOW!"

Comment:
i know its been said many times, but this thing is HUGE! if u r serious about getting this ... check that it will fit b4 u buy!! i had to remove my side fan in order to replace the side panel.the cooler is working great on my msi p67a u 3.3ghz. after load tests, it drops 15-20C in a matter of seconds. and lastly, i know alot of ppl out there would not think of it .... READ READ READ... read the instructions!! they will save u a hella headache

Keeps my Sandy Bridge i7 at a low temp like it ought to. It is humongous. It looks a lot smaller in the images than it really is. Make sure you appear at the dimensions prior to purchasing. This heat sync calls for a metal plating to be secure to the BACK of the motherboard so that the heat sync can be securely attached to it. This means you need to have to install it Ahead of you screw your motherboard to your situation. I was wise sufficient to verify this time but I've surely had to uninstall my mobo, immediately after realizing that the heat sync has a bracket that requirements to be attached to the back.

Great...CORE TEMP 1090t @ 1.4v @ 20X MULTIPLIER 4ghz = IDLE temp 24c / LOAD Ɩ cores burnin test 45 mins) 48-50C Install needs Enormous case and unique handling. Will block memory slots if Memory has heatsinks attached to it. Install tip: You dont install the heatsink on the board.. You location the board upside down on the sink. Takes some rethinking. Opposite of normal install. study the set up manual.. seriouslyAM3 Set up1. location FRIO on table with cooler upside down, and the CPU side UP.2. Set up the necessary brackets for your socket. Install screw.three. On Motherboard, set up CPU and thermal paste. Install memory too. Take away normal backplate and brackets (if applicable to your socket ie. am3 / intelƞ. Flip Mobo over and line up the standoffs of the heatsink more than the holes on the MOBO.5. with everying nonetheless upside down set up the mobo backlplate, and loosely set up the nuts.6. Tighten Nuts in CROSS pattern (top left > bottom right > bottom left > leading Correct). One Turn per nut at a time.After carried out, to set up you mobo in the program, I recommend lifting the complete factor by the heatsink. MAKE Sure YOU Case WILL FIT THIS!!!Wonderful cooler..

Best fan cooler i have ever utilized. Operating an amd phenom x4 BE OC'd at four. and i cant appear to get this point to get above 45C it. is. Big. but i guess thats a huge component of why it functions so nicely. Barely fits in my situation but it operates so nicely i dont care
