ENERMAX ETS-T40 Heatsink Review

Recommended Posts

The performance of this cooler is relatively good when overclocked, but still, its $45.

 

I won this cooler in a contest late last year. It sat on the shelf for 6 months before I needed a cooler and remembered that I had it to try.

It's installed on a Phenom-II X4-980 CPU in an AZZA Fusion 4000 case. The fan is very bright and way too flashy for my tastes. I removed it and installed a pair of Cougar Vortex PWM fans on the cooler.

I like that Enermax included the wire clips to add the second fan in the box. It does cool better with two fans on it as expected.

This cooler does a good job of cooling my rig with a slight OC on it.

Please tell us at what frequency are you running your 980?

 

Right now it's at 4000MHz and it's stable.

 

If I run it higher I get memory errors. I have a Sapphire Pure Black 990FX motherboard and it's not so good for OC purposes.

It happens with three brands of memory too. The latest BIOS made no difference either.

 

it will do for now.
