wormy Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I really wish I had a heat sink to compare this one with but it works great, SilenX makes it. Its their EFZ-120HA4 Extreme Universal Heat sink. Ive managed to be OCCT stable with 1.472 Vcore on my Phenom ll 925 @3.826GHz. The only thing I did not like was the way the fans were held on. They used little rubber post to hold them on and an 120mm fan is just a tad to tall and the bottom 2 end up falling off of both fans. Here is a screen shot of the OCCT run and you can see the max temp was 48°c after over 16 hours. It's $39.99 at Compusa.com if anyone is looking for a cheap cooler that works.

Locutus Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Xigmatek uses a similar rubber nub thing to hold their fans on, and I didn't have much trouble with it. It's to prevent fan vibration going into your case and reverberating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Yeah I know what it's for but it's a pain to line them up and even if you get them on good they eventually vibrate loose. I've had to put them back on once already. I've had the cooler for around 9 months now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting them in is really easy, but taking them out required me to use some aggression & needle nose pliers. I had taken it off and on several times, and each time it was a pain. Maybe mine were the wrong size or something. I ending up giving it to a family member and getting a different heat sink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
