  • quality good performance and not expensive runny an i7 7700 never see heat spikes over 70c even under load
  • I dread ever having to put new thermal paste on since I have to deal with getting the damn mount back on every time
  • Either Cooler Master quality control is nonexistent, or the kit was not genuine.
  • If you are looking for a good fan with great performance that is cheap but still a very good quality I would definitely buy this fan over any other.
  • Can't believe the quality of such famous brand is this poor

Reviews around price (4.33 of 5)

  • Good price for a decent cooler, and with some work, I'm able to get my I5 8400 to idle around
  • Also my old cooler Couldn’t even cool my PC when I’m watching YouTube video, it went up to 69 c but now using the cooler master hyper 212 evo the temperature while web browsing is only 34 c
  • The gold standard for reasonably priced heat-sink CPU coolers
  • The CPU is idling around 50 C, while my old water cooler cpu cooler that was going out idled at around 75 C.

Reviews around product (4.19 of 5)

  • I was sure it was going to be the best product out there to cool my cpu
  • Awesome product great buy overclocked my intel i7 7700 with this
  • Good product at reasonable priceBig improvement on CPU temperatures
  • I was skeptical about this being a cheap product, but after my 4x expensive water cooler broke down after a month (I had to do some work in the cpu area, and re-seat a couple of times), this extremely simple yet effective device completely saved the day and handles the business.
  • It's a great product, just be weary about you recieved is New and not refurbished.

Reviews around work (4.01 of 5)

  • Heat sink is working great now that it has a fan that actually works.
  • builds it works really well and keeps processor in working order
  • I figured out more about how to install this (admittedly well working
  • But it does work well and no loud CPU fan noise is nice!
  • Although all appears to be working well, I am concerned about the amount of tension holding the heatsink down on top of the CPU

Reviews around doe (4.01 of 5)

  • When the fan does kick on it does not make much noise
  • I love that i can run my pc for days if i choose too without rebooting it because this cooler does a great job.
  • A little tricky to mount properly, but once installed it does the job without fail.
  • However on Lga 1151 sockets the cooler does sit a little crooked (I installed it properly)

  • Bought to replace my aging and failing liquid cooling solution that cost me around 75 and was causing my CPU temps to hit 100c!!.
  • Docking one star for the potentially fatal installation flaw but other than that it is a nice, large, effective cooling solution.

Reviews around temp (3.54 of 5)

  • Idle and load temps are right where they should be (27c/45c).
  • Got this for my brother because his cpu was overheating and causing blue screens with the stock cpu cooler on his intel i7.It significantly reduced the temps on the cpu with no other changes when I stress tested the machine
  • Quiet and keeps CPU temps down just as effectively as my old AIO water cooler, plus it dumps less heat into the air.
  • This cooler is very nice, cpu temps when gaming and multitasking does not even surpass the 50c
  • Let me overclock and still have cooler temps than the non-oc stock heatsync

Reviews around sound (2.09 of 5)

  • It worked great for 2 weeks and then started making an annoying rattling sound.
  • Update: fan started making this terrible grinding sound, unfortunately i'm going to have to spend money on another fan because my whole desk vibrates because of this
  • Everything works great, temps in the 40's and 20's which is awesome and much better than my stock cooler but the fan makes the most horrible rattling sound, trying to find a replacement.
  • So I do not want constant fan noise (the fan is not loud but more sound than I want in this environment) coming from the system.
  • Although, only 4 stars because the title says LED but this has NO LED’s on it.

Reviews around time (2.03 of 5)

  • I build things for a living (desks, furniture, grills, bikes) and had a very hard time understanding the diagrams.
  • I guess this doesn't really matter, though it startled me the first time it happened
  • But after doing it wrong the first time I finally figured out I needed to add in the included 'risers' (I wonder what these little round, black, sleeve looking thingys are?
  • Had a bit of a hard time putting it on without help, but still managed alone.
  • The whole time I installed this CPU cooler and had to work around it at difficult angles, I was concerned that I was damaging the motherboard and/or the CPU

  • but i want to switch to a liquid cooler for better temps and noise
  • But it does work well and no loud CPU fan noise is nice!
  • THIS cooler has been making this crackling noise the whole time, and I figure its because of the plastic fan attached to it
  • It makes an awful loud ticking noise at a certain speed

Reviews around motherboard (1.95 of 5)

  • Multi-step process that involves taking your motherboard out of your computer (already a pain), screwing on the fan, and putting everything back in again.
  • This cooler has a terrible mount that can easily damage your motherboard
  • I over did application and spent a few days doing my best to clean the motherboard.
  • You better be ready to damn near break your motherboard from the amount of force you have to apply to get it to set right
  • I'd rather go with a d-92 lot easier and about the same cooling.

  • Omg this heat sink was was bigger than my stock for the cpu
  • The heat sink was easy to install and the fan is fairly quiet
  • Heat sink is working great now that it has a fan that actually works.
  • My only qualm with this heat sink is that it's kind of a pain to install

Reviews around boy (1.44 of 5)

  • My i5-4600k was overheating from mid-tier stress, but now that I put this bad boy in, I'm able to overclock it and do things as intense as it can handle while maintaining low temps
  • One thing to keep an eye on is the size of this bad boy
  • took me a long freaking time to install but boy was it worth it.
  • Obviously I went for the cheaper option and bought this bad boy
  • But with this bad boy I dropped my CPU temp from average 73C to about
