AMD Information
I bought this to replace the default heatsink and fan for my AM3 AMD AthlonII x4 620 processor (not over clocked).
The only trouble I had was fitting the cam clip over the heatsink plate to the board, it was a nightmare trying to keep it steady.
Now I am getting temperatures around 25oC low and 35oC high a much bigger improvement than the default heatsink.
Does the job, but very loud
Just wanted to let any possible buyers know what you're going to get if you buy this fan.
It does it's job well, keeps my computer at low temperatures, but is very loud and really does get on your nerves after a few hours.
I wouldn't mind if it was only loud when i was using up a lot of CPU Usage, but it's like this as soon as i turn on my computer.
Good replacement of stock heatsink/fan
operating system:
Windows 7I was stuck waiting for retention bracket for my Core contact freezer so I decided to buy this as temporary measure to be able to run my new i7 setup.
This heatsink/fan combo is noisy/ultra quiet. Noisy when running without any fan speed regulation but ultra quiet when run in the silent mode (motherboard dependent) at 600RPM. Didnt dare to overclock with it but it was cooling a moderately loaded i7 920 very well.
The biggest problem this product has is a not absolutely flat base. I could swear it is a bit concave! Had to use a bit more thermal paste because of this.
Quieting It Down
Just to add on to one of the comments about the noise this processor produces, you need to make sure that you have a motherboard that supports the ability to run the fan in "Quiet" mode. Once you turn that on, the cooler runs more quietly than the stock cooler and cools better too. Then, when the processor gets hotter, the fan will speed up as needed.
