" ... The Cooler Master Hyper reduced the temp by almost 10 degress farenheit. ... "
" ... I replaced a stock fan with this cooler and it has done excellent! ... I am seeing about 20-30 degrees Celsius cooler CPU temperatures. ... "
" ... Quiet and keeps my cpu chill. ... "
" ... Monstrous fan, lots of airflow, NIB ... "
" ... Keeps my cpu nice and cool ! ... "
" ... I bought this Hypter T2 CPU cooler as it is the biggest Cooler Master that fits in a standard case and then replaced the fan with a Noctua NF-A9, and am very happy with the resulting solution. ... The good news is that with this CPU cooler and the right fans both on this CPU cooler and the rest of the system, as well as an EVGA gold power supply in "eco mode" I have a truly silent PC, where a pretty sensitive dB meter can not detect it being on. ... But that's just enough air flow with the good heatsinks that in normal operation the system temp stays around 40 and both the CPU temp and GPU temps stay in the mid 50's. ... "
" ... the 120mm fan is dead quiet, and its not terrible to look at. ... This is a large cpu cooler, so make sure you have enough room in your case. ... "
" ... This is about as good of cooling performance as you can get for this price. ... "

" ... Fairly easy to install. ... "
" ... Installation was easy for intel chip. ... "
" ... It also runs noticeably cooler, and was easy to install. ... "
" ... You're gonna have to look up a video to install. ... "
" ... From research, the setup is the same as 1150. ... "
" ... Other than that detail, the installation was pretty straightforward and clear. ... "
" ... It has managed to consistently keep the CPU temp to normal limits ever since installation. ... "

" ... I am very happy with this cooler and its performance. ... "
" ... The fan's RPM range is high. ... "
" ... Does the job well, keeps my pc cool. ... "
" ... But I would definitely change the fan it comes with to make it quieter or lower the speed. ... "
" ... Works well for what I needed it for. ... "
" ... My CPU has been running cool ever since. ... "

" ... Put it together with springs and plastic screws and nut? ... "
" ... Rather large didn’t fit ... "
" ... Didn't fit my motherboard. ... "
" ... First off the cooler is giant and didn’t fit into my case, but that has no impact on the rating as that was my fault for not checking. ... The cooler is tightened very tight and I can easily wiggle it on the processor. ... "
" ... The screws weren’t even touching the standoff. ... "
" ... Did not fit onto the AM4 board as advertised here. ... "
" ... I will say one thing, it is very tall and I had to modify my side case fan in order for it to fit so word of warning, it is a large CPU fan. ... "
" ... It is very tall, and won't fit in a lot of cases. ... I have a case that I 100% know it won't fit in, and pc part picker said it would. ... "

" ... The install process is terrible though, it uses a plastic pushpin design that is easily broken and requires a bunch of force to push pin in and lock. ... "
" ... Put it together with springs and plastic screws and nut? ... "
" ... Should be packaged fully assembled. ... "
" ... This is a cheap knock off made by the same company and NOT WORTH THE MONEY. ... "
" ... It has those horrible plastic spreader pins that break if you look at them wrong. ... By the time I had finished screwing in the opposite side of the clip, 2 of the 4 pins had broken. ... "
" ... But it still bending! ... "
" ... The screws weren’t even touching the standoff. ... It required me to press down with immense pressure for the second, third, and fourth screw. ... "
" ... The screws that are included with it snapped due to me being a bit heavy handed. ... I screwed them a little too hard, but still felt a little too easy to break them. ... "

" ... This thing is big, but nice, and quiet. ... "
" ... Once I had it installed it made a HUGE difference in performance and noise. ... Very quiet even when running at the full speed, when running at regular speed you can barely hear it even if you stand right next to the computer. ... "
" ... Best part Is it runs super duper quiet. ... "
" ... Finally, this fan is far from being silent. ... "
" ... -fan is uber quiet ... "
" ... Transformed my desktop from a jet engine wannabe to a quiet whisper. ... "
" ... Definitely audible at 1000 rpm but nothing out of the ordinary or intrusive (this is with a 0 sound dampening case). ... "
" ... Kind of loud but keeps my FX8150 cool! ... "

" ... Why did I have to replace the fan? ... "
" ... Since I upgraded to this baby no problems. ... "
" ... it's been 2 years since I bought mine and thought why not give it a rating and a small review. ... 2 years later and it's still running strong. ... "
" ... This worked perfectly! ... "
" ... Works very good ive had it about 6-7 months now still keeping it under 60c while under load while rarely going over 65 75% fan speeds (still quiet to) but im not OC'ed. ... "
" ... I have used many of these over the years in desktops and servers. ... "
" ... As it is though, I don't expect to make any changes as everything is working fine. ... "

" ... Since I would consider myself to be a pretty big gamer, after a long session of playing a game the CPU temp would stay around 60 degrees Celsius. ... "
" ... Running basic programs or browsing the web it runs high 20s low 30s and running games and playing videos at the same time I have not seen it rise above 55c. ... "
" ... Installed and now the computer is not overheating and shutting down games. ... "
" ... Easy to install and keeps my PC cool during gaming and game streaming at the same time. ... "
" ... Bought 2 of these to build our gaming PCs and they work great. ... "
" ... Great addition to my new gaming pc, awesome product! ... "
" ... I'm not the most intensive gamer, so I don't do a whole lot as far as overclocking and pushing my system to the max, but it's kept my processor in good shape and was super easy to install if you follow the directions. ... "

" ... never had any issues with my CPU over heating with it being over clocked! ... "
" ... Lovely little heat sink. ... "
" ... But you're only doing this once, and for the superior heat distribution this offers it's worth the effort. ... "

" ... Ridiculously loud for what it is. ... "
" ... It's loud. ... "
" ... It can handle high overclocks but you'll be cranking those fan speeds up, which means it's very loud obviously. ... it could technically handle 4.8ghz/1.42v but it's still hot and really loud. ... "
" ... It lost 1 star because it is loud. ... Loud enough to think the PC will hover. ... "
" ... Very loud and extremely difficult to install. ... "
" ... I'm getting excessive vibrations and a very annoying rattle and occasional knocking from the fan on this thing. ... "

" ... Having a buddy around for another set of hands can really help. ... "
" ... This will even take a Ryzen 7 up to 4ghz comfortably, but mainly because 4ghz on 14nm silicon really isn't that bad. ... "
" ... If your case has the PSU in the bottom or if you have smaller hands you should have no issues. ... "
" ... Pain to get on at first with the amd jig but overall solid! ... "
" ... Feel comfortable to overclock. ... "

" ... Missed return window. ... "
" ... Yes i could have returned the item, but if i did it would cost me more aggravation than what it would be worth, it was easier just to fix it. ... "
" ... This was, with out a doubt, a fan that was previously returned and apparently they just cleaned it up (poorly) and shipped it back out. ... "

" ... This thing is huge, a little more complicated to put on than a stock fan, but the benefits are even bigger. ... "
" ... Lower profile for smaller cases ... "
" ... Be sure that your case and board peripherals can handle the size. ... "
" ... There are more compact options that perform equally. ... "
" ... Other than it being bulky, it works pretty well. ... "
" ... I installed it in an older full size case and it works beautifully. ... "

" ... Mounting brackets did not work on am4 motherboard ... "
" ... Mine had too much mounting force and its mating surface was not flat. ... "

" ... It is extremely quiet and i dont feel like i have a space heater in my room anymore. ... "
" ... Just make sure you have space. ... "
" ... I also did not want to bolt in a back plate and have a goliath cooler eating all my free case space. ... "
" ... So if this is going to go into a new build or an existing system be sure that your case has plenty of room cuz this thing is a monster it is very quiet I've seen some reviews with people saying it's not quiet but it is super quiet I would definitely buy this again. ... "
" ... Great - works great, but it's tall. ... Make sure your case will accommodate! ... "
" ... It requires a lot of space - it was intimidating just seeing it in the box - but it the installation was no more difficult than that of a standard CPU fan. ... "
