total convincingly but with a striking design errors

The cooler itself is compelling, it cools relatively well and is not too loud - especially when considering the price.
The materials and workmanship is really good too, considering the price.

In this respect, he has actually already fulfilled all expectations and hopes; because I just wanted a quieter cooler than the boxed and lower temperatures - these two points fell on especially when you have loaded the PC accordingly. Unlovely was the whole reason then, because it was a PC in the living room that feeds a projector.
The cooler is indeed audible, but the projector also - if absolute "Silence" prevails and not a movie or game rings out the room. But once run "TV", film or games, the soundscape covers the slight noise of the PC. Here you have but to say that the PC of course involves additional fans; but they are all tuned for "quiet". Well enough to no longer existing noise pollution.

The installation was fairly easy, if a little fiddly, especially on the lower side, so I had to remove the PCI-E VGA first; the rest really turned out to be simple and self-explanatory. Suitable for all sockets, which I do not doubt the basis of the accessory is still a large manual here.
The fan itself acts relatively high and when rotated by hand and nudge it shows already clear a contrast to other cheap coolers. He really turns very smoothly and easily.

Now, however, the point at which I practice criticism and then what even prompted me to vote with only three Sternenen:
Namely, it is not possible, the radiator to turn 90 ° ... only 180 ° is feasible. Would not be bad times and needed to be, now think probably. so many .... but: The fan blows the warm air directly to the power supply and applies the "cold" then from the graphics card back, the ingame a temperature of approximately 85 ° C (GPU core) achieved on the back then loosely has 65 ° C, making it virtually at the entrance even really no more "cold" ... Alternatively, you look at the Airflow then completely destroy, by 180 ° C turns the radiator and the air is drawn from the power supply. ... but here I am writing not only continue, because the is not an option. One option which I have thought about that was that I just grab the fan on the other side, but blowing in the same direction, and air through the heatsink attractive, but this is then between power supply and cooler also significantly less space and a part of the warm exhaust air from the fan ends up on the power supply in the housing past ... I have simply left as first described and the CPU (Phenom II X4 955, 125W TDP) has in desktop operating now about 43 ° C and between 50 InGame -70 ° c. The Boxed Cooler there were about 10 ° C more, but at a significantly higher penetration of eavesdropping and unangehmeren organs ...
My mind is the temperature a bit too high (under load) - I would have hoped for more - but completely understandable by said defect; so far do not interfere, because the volume is still OK, just the temperature is lower than before, and in the green zone.

Let's wait the summer from ...

In summary:
+ Guenstig
+ Good workmanship / material properties
+ Adequate cooling
+ Delivery:. Manual, thermal paste, screw and Assembly Material other sockets.
/ Relatively easy assembly; However, provided sufficient space around the cooler herumg
/ Extent comfortable level; not an absolute silent tip (but was not expected; see product description of the manufacturer)
- Design error: draws warm air (on AMD Sockets) directly from the back of the graphics card! One can not rotate by 90 °!
