I agree with the gentleman that stated this fan sounds like a UFO whining from low to high speed.I installed on a Asus Z790 mobo.I am looking now for here on Amazon for a different fan that doesn't whine every time you put any type of load on it, such as searching for a new one. Will drive you crazy.

Bought to replace the stock cooler that came with my old i5-10400F when upgrading to an i9-10900F. Maybe the stock cooler would have been okay, since the i9 was also rated 65 watts, but the data sheets I could find indicated that the i9 came with a different cooler, so I wanted to get a better one. I did have to put a mounting plate it came with in place, but I was able to do that by sliding it under the motherboard without having to actually remove the motherboard. It's installed now, and keeps the CPU below 70C even when I'm running a render in LuxRender using 20 threads!Everything I was finding that was marked as a cooler for an i9 was a water cooler, but I really didn't want to make that leap - this is working great, and you can't beat the price! Also, it did come with a packet of thermal paste - I didn't see that in the item description, though I may have just missed it.

I had to replace a more popular CPU fan I recently purchased for my media center PC and the case vent is right over the CPU fan but it was not a variable controllable fan (3 pin) so I had to replace it with this one, it had similar height clearance and its a tad cheaper. This fan come with two attached cords, one for the 4 Pin connector and the other I am guessing for RGB stuff that I did not connect. I didn't think the LED lighting was going to work without that second connection but it did. Even though I am not a big fan of LED lighting in cases, this one is not overwhelming and it actually kinda looks kewl coming out the top of my case. But more importantly, it is super quite especially during idle. It does become noticeably louder when gaming but I am OK with that, as long as it is keeping my CPU cool enough to keep gaming, which it does. I am glad I bought this and would buy again, a great cheap fan that looks good under the hood.

This was basically the most inexpensive fan of its kind that includes ADDRESSABLE color LEDs on it for a cpu like what we have.We have an Asus Z270 motherboard and a 6th gen i5 cpu that uses a 1151 mount. Thus works for the 1151 mount just perfectly. I also preferred this to other fans on here because of the black heatsink where almost all others was silver.This looks snazzy and fits perfect! It came with a small pack of thermal paste to self apply and that was easy. It plugs into my case's RGB controller box so when I press the LED button on my case it changes the ring on the fan to match the big fans on the front of the case. There are others on here that are static and stay 1 color or rainbow and are not addressable bit THIS one is addressable.Ran it through the ASUS bios and it runs just fine, I have it set to 40% speed up to 40c and then 60% at 60c and 100% at 70c+ and have not seen the cpu go over 42c in all honesty.Great price, looks good, blavk heatsink, comes with thermal paste, it is addressable and plugs into the motherboard or rgb box. Perfect item!

For $10 this is a good choice replace the stock Intel coolers. Those are effective but can be load and distracting. This cooler performs a bit better, not significantly better but definitely better. It's biggest draw though its that it is much quieter and pleasant to be around then the stock cooler when the cpu's under load. And the RGB is nice touch as well. My motherboard didn't support it but the cooler does come with an addressable RGB header for those who have the connection.FYI: I used this on an HP Slimeline 270 SFF and while the cooler did fit comfortably no space clearance issues of any kind due note that you "cannot" use the mounting bracket that is already attached to the motherboard. The cooler will not make contact with the cpu. You "must" use the included bracket that comes with the cooler. Temps might seem fine at first if you don't use the correct bracket but once you put it under sustained load temps will spike to 90-100c range is easily. With the right bracket all was good and I saw lower temps than with the stock cooler.Used with an Intel I7 7700 ; LGA 1151For prebuilt OEM system and for anyone who is NOT over clocking I would recommend this as a cheap upgrade/replacement to the stock cooler.

I set up a personal NAS that uses Plex - this cools the i5-10400 very well. Idle temps are 30*C, and doesn't go past 40*C even with heavy transcoding using the integrated graphics. Cheap and works - if you are a fan of RGB, it has that as well. I didn't get it for that, but it's a plus if you prefer it.Since it's a NAS, my PC is always on (24/7). So far so good after months of use. Will update my review if it has issues.The install was simple. Fits like a glove. I'm not sure why some reviews state issues with the install, but as long as you get it for the correct motherboard, it's not a problem. Thermal paste could be the issue for those who are complaining. Make sure to watch some videos on how to apply paste. I've been building computers for a long time now, but I can say the cooler itself is fine, especially if you use a an i5-10400.

Bought for a 12700k, had to buy something stronger as it was near or at 100 degrees celcius while gaming.

ryzen7 3700xに使用。HP omenはマザーボードが特殊でlga1156のファンを取り付けるためこちらを購入。安価でARGBの発光はきれいなのですが、今まで使っていた90mmファンがcpu使用率10%の時に62℃だったのに対してこちらは82℃まで上がっていました。そもそもryzen用で無いのも影響していると思いますが、冷却性能を求める場合はあまりオススメできません。cpu温度に余裕があり、手軽にRGB化したいならありだと思います。

Two major problems with this fan:1. The bracket is poorly designed and creates an arch on the reverse side which will **bend your motherboard**. Hopefully people catch this before it permanently damages an expensive main board!2. Poor thermal transfer: Mounted on an i7-12700k. Even with on optional contact frame/thermal spreader, the CPU was still hitting 90C during soak testing. Replaced with a Hyper 212 and thermals dropped to 75C under the same load.Avoid this fan and spend a few extra dollars on something that is designed to work with your motherboard and CPU. Do NOT trust this fan to protect your modern, expensive hardware!!

Product description says AM4 compatible but it does not contain any hardware to make it work with an AM4 board, only intel. Very disappointed and returning asap.
