I have read the cooling joyfully welcomed and incorporated these same, and there begins my review ... Although the installation may be easy, but only if the motherboard, so the board is not thinner than it provides for Corsair. My Asus Maximus 4 Extreme is apparently, a little bit thinner than other boards. The problem arises namely in the side dishes containing the screw thread (Intel Board 1155er base). These were with me on the front side of the board slightly out what prevented the screws until the board to turn into, result: a strong Gewackel the screws and thus no holding security on the CPU ... Well this could be solved but with a little modification of Monatgesatzes, the threaded inserts I align ultimately upside fitted around the threaded opening to the rear.
Until then, it was still okay. The fans, however, is the purest Lärmmaschiene ... He has loose causing the double volume of boxed CPU fan despite Silent profile the motherboard! "Very quiet operating noise" should be more of a joke. Had my previous fan (Antec) with manual control again dransetzen otherwise I would have endured more than 10 minutes on the computer, with the Antec ists nice and quiet. db values I can not deliver, but that was definitely not a subjective impression.
Cooling capacity seems okay, there had not yet been tested in Battlefield3 but the CPU Burnin test time was okay. Went to about 50 ° at 28 degrees room temperature.
Would not cooling not buy again, at least not for this price and the stark fan.
