Pros & Cons
Cons
It goes to the heatsink portion. Because of this it slowly creeps up to idle at over 60 degrees. Just barely twitched.
Highlights
Quality
I am quite happy with this unit as it is built the same as all arctic coolers, very solid and well built.
This heatsink was easy to install and i also notice it's real quiet.
The highest temp i have recorded is 83c under a full load of video transcoding.
The vrm temps never get above 50c,
Competitiveness
As arctic always includes tdp ratings on their units, you can count on these numbers to be reflective of their performance.
As a recommendation, these can be hard to find but are no better than other am3/fm2 hsf, especially from arctic.
, once it arrived i compared it to my old arctic alpine 64 pro and noticed the catch points were very nearly the same.
