Cons: Size conflicts with X58 EVGA mobo.
Pros: Direct Touch, gigantic. Keeps temperatures low. Comment:
When using this heatsink, if you add on a fan, it conflicts with one of the heatsinks attached to the X58 mobo. Probably a bigger problem with the mobo itself however I should have looked into this before purchasing this. It is holding one fan now (and that system is also pretty weird). |

Cons: Shipped to me with numerous bent fins. The retention mechanism for AM3 processors simply uses the default bracket which means your "stuck" with only one orientation UNLESS you can find a shop that sells the Intel to AMD conversion kit (Xiggy ACK-ATI775). Sadly no one seems to be selling this bracket mod even though its on Xigmateks website. Would not recommend if your using a Silverstone Fortress FT01, FT02 or Raven RV1 or RV2.
Pros: erm... It has fancy packaging and supposedly is a nice cooler... though horrifically overpriced compared to the Thermalright TRUE. Comment:
See weaknesses but basically you would be better off spending your hard earned dollars on something with decent mounting options and that doesnt come bent five ways from Sunday. Sadly it would appear that Im now stuck with a cooler that I cant orient in my case properly as NCIX will only exchange or replace this with the same thing :( This review was modfied by poster @ 01-20-10 01:25 PM |
Has problem with mobo. Be sure to check if your mobo is compatible with this cooler. Other wise, works better than my old CPU Cooler, and is quieter too. Very nice cooler for the price also.
