Quality


Out of all the custom gaming pc builds i have done, i was always reluctant to use this product due to the installation and size.


I am very happy with this cpu cooler and how well it has done.

Obviously i went for the cheaper option and bought this bad boy.

(i got an email asking where, in the box is the "controller", i assume that's an rgb controller and i have no clue)

Competitiveness


This model is much better than the older and/or cheaper cooler masters because it puts more copper in contact with the cpu.

The vendor i purchased this from was the cheapest i ever saw too, beating the competition by $10 or more!


This bad boy dropped my full load temp by 37 degrees c, compared to a stock intel d60188 (as measured with realtemp and prime 95).
