I have a Midi housing and was looking for a reasonable cooler for my AMD8350.
Half a year I had the predecessor built (Grand Kama Cross 2000) and was thus eingentlich quite satisfied.
Really means, I was not so satisfied with the fastening system (brackets for AMD Boards) predecessor.
Because the cooler weighs a lot and sometimes they have the Klammers slightly loosened.
This means that the brackets could not solve, but the cooler could move slightly to the CPU
and the temperatures were over 70 degrees! The normal temperature were under Prime95 on 55-60Grad
So really for such a large, heavy coolers no reasonable bracket.
Then I saw the successor (Grand Kama Cross 3000) a few days ago, and finally with screw connection for AMD (AM3 + etc) boards.
So ordered and installed ... is indeed a real Fummellei because in my case really is virtually no space,
but I knew her from the predecessor.
It used the back plate from the board, just the old, original plastic holder down and new metal holder screw top.
Only the graphics card had to get out and the fans are unscrewed from the heat sink to put after to get the screws from above
the radiator with the holder connect. Now holds Bombenfest, does not wobble and makes more than enough air :-)
Also, the fan has been updated and has been slightly improved.
This is almost 120mm inaudible and comparable to my much more expensive Aplenföhn.
The temperatures of the CPU in my "mini" housing lie idle at 30-34Grad and under Prime95 with 50-55Grad
Mostly, the CPU temperature is about five Grand under the cabinet ...
However, It should be noted that you should have a housing with a Lüftöffnung in the side so that the fan
Fresh air can suck. Otherwise, the fan is not in his element and swirled only the air.
Through the improvements I am finally very satisfied and the new investment was becoming his money.
Finally I have my case not constantly speisung alimentation to control the clamp and retighten them if necessary ...
Therefore, I now admit, unlike the previous full 5 stars !!!!
ps the cooler looks great, looks like a V8 engine for the PC :-)
