Customer Rating:
Summary: Quit and cool
Comment: This product installed quickly and keeps my system very cool with almost no noise. Make sure to clean your CPU if you are replacing an old fan. This is very quit and really good. I would highly recommend this fan.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Cooler is cheap, and it shows
Comment: Well, I bought this to replace the stock cooler and it does work better and quieter than the stock cooler. However, I am sure it would work a lot better if they had done a better job of smoothing the working surface. I mean, it is really rough, the stock cooler was much smoother and it was not smooth. I thought about lapping it but don't really have the time or the tools. Besides, I found that the biggest noise source in my system is the power supply, not the CPU fan.

Summary: Works with AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5000+
Comment: I bought this cooler from Amazon along with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5000+ (Black edition) which doesn't come with a cooler. The heatsink is aluminum, has no copper component and no heat pipes, but does its job well enough keeping the CPU cool. I chose this cooler primarily because of its price and smaller size.
My system is a mid-tower case with an Asus M2N-E mobo. Most mobo's placement of the CPU is very close in proximity to the memory slots. Because of this, I found it easier to first install the CPU and cooler on the mobo before installing the mobo into the case.
I overclock the CPU to 3.08GHz - when idle, the fan runs about 900rpm and keeps the CPU temp at ~86degF. When busy, the fan will ramp up to about 1300rpm, keeping the CPU temp below 125degF. Because of the low rpm, there is barely any fan noise. The case has 2 other 80mm fans, plus the built-in fan in the PSU.
One thing of note is that the fan may not start up quickly on the first boot - the BIOS will warn that the CPU fan is not working. But since my case has a transparent side panel, it can be seen that the fan is running fine. Because the Athlon64 5000+ is a low wattage CPU, this cooler should work fine. If you're using a high wattage CPU, you'll probably need a heftier cooler/heatsink which is typically bulky and hard to fit into something less than a full tower case.
Customer Rating:
Summary: quiet but flawed
Comment: Does not keep my amd x2 4200+ cool. Good heatsinks typically utilize a smooth copper plate which makes contact with the CPU. Heatsinks and CPU surfaces should be as smooth as possible to maximize surface contact. Not only does this heatsink not have a copper plate, but it's surface is so rough, that it's no wonder I have to change my grease once a month. I'm actually planing on sanding / buffing the surface next time I have to pull it off. Not a quality product.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great fan
Comment: Great fan, keeps the CPU cool. Low price, great quality, what else do you need?
I recommend this product
