upHere P5C 5V ARGB CPU Air Cooler 230w TDP 6mm x 5 Copper Heat Pipes CPU Cooler with 120mm Fan PWM 1800RPM 77.93CFM for Intel LGA 2011/2066 (Mainboard X79/X99)/1700/1200/1150/1121/1155/ AMD AM5/AM4

I'm using this product with an Intel Core I7 920 and a DX58SO motherboard on a 2008 retro build. It works great. That processor is notorious for consuming s lot of power and running very hot. This keeps it nice and cool. I will say this...size wise it is yuge!! Typically the cooler would be installed with the fans oriented vertically, but I installed it 90 degrees the other way. Not sure it matters much but the tall Northbridge heat sink on the mobo makes it physically necessary to orient it that way. Clears the RAM modules and other hardware just fine as it has more than one way it can be positioned. As long as your case can hold it. This Antec 300 case feels pretty full with this inside

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very good price, good reviews, supports AM3/AM3+ motherboards as well as AM4.Ease of installation:Easier to install than a lot of the competitors and I've installed several of them.Value for money:Excellent value for the money.Temperature control:Good temperature control on 125W TDP AMD3 processor.

I had some trepidation buying this product because of a negative review that it cools poorly. Now having tried it out, these fears are completely unwarranted. I've been running a 10-core Xeon processor for hours at 65+ load average, doing a heavy CPU stress test, including virtualization and heavy memory IO and it's been rock solid at 30-40C and that's excellent.(Did he not remove the plastic guard before putting it in?)This does a great job, but it is MASSIVE. It seems almost too big for my big box server and it's a HUGE case. It dwarfs the motherboard, and I had to remove the power supply in order to plug in all the cables because it was so big and in the way. However, it does leave plenty of room for the RAM sticks, and the fan appears to be a decent quality one that will last a while. Because the fan is so big, it's quiet.

just a little tip everyone, put an extra fan on the other side to create a push/pull. works great. looks great. i used 2 pink apevia fans

Quick and easy to install. Very inexpensive and keeps the cpu very cool. I would buy again for another build

This is a very large and therefore very quiet fan. It only just barely fit into my 2U rackmount server case.My only (tiny) gripe is that the included thermal paste was dried out and unspreadable. It was the consistency of Play-Doh. I ended up using some other paste I had leftover from a previous build.

Works very well, easy to install, plenty of space around CPU. Very tall, not for small cases. keeps my Intel i7 at 18C at idle.

This cooler is absolute junk for cooling, but it looks great! The installation instructions are 1/4 of a piece of paper, printed in broken English on both sides. Good luck! For $5 more you can get a Hyper 212 (which has a much larger heat sink, easier to install, clear instructions and actually cools your CPU better than a stock cooler.) If you have a 3 or 5 series Intel or AMD CPU and want to replace the stock cooler with something that looks nicer, this is it. Or, if you desire a tiny heat sink covered in plastic, fans and LEDs, this is for you!I really wanted to like this, but my 9900k nearly over heated within 2 minutes of 100% CPU usage testing. This cooler looks nice and is priced nice. But you get what you pay for. Pay the extra $5 for an 'ugly' cooler and have your Ryzen 7, Ryzen 9 or Intel i7 or i9 CPU run nice and cool and quiet!!! For a little more money, you can also get other coolers with pretty lights.If you don't care about noise or cooling, and you can translate broken English, this is the cooler for you! Also, be aware you can also buy hubcaps for your lawn mower while you are shopping here at Amazon! Because, hubcaps on a lawn mower make it better, right?In the pictures below you can see a picture of what is hidden under the plastic. I dismantled the entire unit to share with you what you are actually buying. There are pictures of the instructions so yo can see just how inadequate they are, and I've included a picture of the tiny heatsink compared to a standard air cooler heatsink used by Cooler Master Hyper 212. Make an informed decision.Here are the EXACTLY spelled and worded directions included with the unit:Step 1: Install the bracket on the motherboard insert four bolt1) Fixed bolt insert stents2) The stents installed on the motherboard3) Last insert fixed pin of the motherboardStep 2: The thermal conductive paste evenly on the CPUStep 3: Install the radiator on the motherboard1) First radiator short hook Button in the stand2) One hand will flatten the radiator3) At the same time, another hand will be another button pressing down4) Hook stents On the other side of the hook5) Or so mobile,Check whether the radiator is installed firmly
