Negative:
- Because of its size, it can block certain ports. On my motherboard (Asus Z87-A) it impinges on the first memory location. We can still put a bar, but not too high a radiator (Corsair Vengeance genre it does not pass, but Vengeance LP no problem). The cooler also encroaches on the first port PCIe. Not that the graphics card, the one just above. I could put a short guy WiFi card, but not a long card.
- Another major problem: attention to the task! This is not a problem if you have room in your case but it is a point to check. My Define R4 it fits.
- A little liquid with thermal paste. Bizarre that ...
Other notes:
- Installation without particular concern but not necessarily easy. Recommended for experienced users and prudent.
Despite the "problems" in size, I put 5 stars because it's a purchase I do not regret. I have a better performance than entry-without spending a fortune for a premium.
