Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The cooling of the cpu is almost equal to the liquid cooling system. On this motherboard the cooler mounts perpendicular to the recommended front to rear air flow. At full speed (2000 rpm in full fan speed mode) the cpu temp is 43-46 c (and 20-24 c wh... Read More

Great product - clear documentation, all the tools you need, fits in the size they said it would, and amazing functionality. Quite an shocking difference. Performance is superb!

These heat sinks seems well designed, but a tad bulky. The only flaw in the design is that it is possible - just barely - to mount the heat sink with the plastic protector still in place.

Cons

Nh-d9dx i4 3u isn't even mentioned on these faq and compatibility tables. Why don't these aftermarket cpu cooler manufacturers tell you that? It is loud, my reader, reads average 49 db but on spec they state as only 22. Bit it does on the narrow socke... Read More

Quality

The quality of the heat sink is top notch, and given the price it should be.

I ordered this unit because it said it was designed to work with the 2011 socket.

For this cooler, none of the supplied screws would work with the mounting points.

Packaging/appearance

The packaging is definitely not flashy and is pure business with just their logo and model name on the brown cardboard box.

The retail package comes with brackets to mount this cooler to pretty much any motherboard and the packaging is bullet-proof.

I dinged the packaging one star because while it provided excellent damage protection you darn near need a hammer, chisel and b... Read More

Competitiveness

Perfect fit for dual xeon x5550’s on a supermicro x8dtl-i motherboard.

I transplanted a supermicro x9dri-f motherboard out of a 2u case into a larger 4u case.

I tried mounting them on a supermicro dual cpu board, and they are too bulky to mount.

Idle, the cpus sit in the low 40c range.
