Cons:
- Fan spins quite high
I bought the Katana 4 as a replacement for the base 1150 boxed fan. The heatsink itself is designed very stable. I did not expect at this price. Have there been more money for less solid heatsink get.
The assembly on the base 1150 is very simple by the "Intel-click system". Bring pins to position and then press.
The fan should be removed in any case for mounting.
All in all took less than 15 minutes of Einabu.
The given here of some problems with the Socket 1150 mounting and too much pressure I can not understand. Sits just Stram as the boxed fan.
Only the fan turns a little high. According Speedfan CA to 1400rpm. But not to hear from the volume in a closed housing. You hear the EHR disks.
Power in cooling:
I have the cooler "only" on a 55W TDP CPU sitting.
Ambient temperature: 21 ° C
Boxed fans: Idle 31 ° C - 56 ° C load
Katana 4: Idle 26 ° C - 44 ° C load
From me a clear recommendation for the radiator.
