A quote from the article:
| The provided fan is annoying, ball bearing noisy but thankfully it's upgradable. However, so are Scythe heatsinks, the Noctua NH-U12 and the CoolerMaster Gemini from off the top of my head. I'm sure there are a few more, and these don't have the same 25mm depth restriction. In addition, for £33 I'd expect an awesome fan to come with it in the first place, and while it is "nine bladed for better performance" perhaps a sleeve bearing would be more appropriate?
If you do get it, throw the manual out - I've seen three year olds scribble better images on walls with a marker. There's no worry though, because the installation is actually more self explanatory than I had initially thought, considering how many bits are in the box. Thankfully the installation is a breeze and leaves the top heavy unit very securely held. You're not likely to have to endure the reinserting of the supplied fan, hence the high "ease of use" score. It has such potential and will work for many people who want to use a large fanned heatsink but are restricted by enclosed, high heatpipes on the motherboard like the Asus Striker Extreme. I can see why it's been previously so highly regarded, but for me it doesn't quite offer enough for the price and that is reflected in the score - though if you disagree then you can always let us know in the forums |
