DeepCool Gammaxx 400

Advantages: Quiet Good cooling Comparatively cheap

Disadvantages: Has not revealed yet

Comment: Before choosing a cooler, I reviewed and re-read a bunch of reviews and reviews and got a lot of benefit from it, for this reason I decided to write my own review - maybe it will be useful to someone. I rejected options with huge kilogram tower coolers due to the lack of need for them with my needs and capabilities. The main criteria for choosing a cooler were as follows: 1) to cool the i7 4770 well. And the most stressful situation in my case is playing The Witcher 3 or Fallout 4; 2) to fit into the ATX THERMALTAKE Versa H24 CA-1C1-00M1NN-00 case (209 cm width); 3) so that it does not interfere with RAM during installation (motherboard ASUS Z87-K). It was bought for 1800 rubles after the NG holidays in one of the Tula stores. When installed, it was smeared with good thermal paste. As a result: 1) the temperature of the nuclei in idle time is about 30 degrees. The temperature of the cores during the game in The Witcher 3 is about 56-62 degrees; 2) fit into the case, from the cooler to the side cover about 2 cm. When installing, I had to first put the cooler on the motherboard, then put the motherboard in the case; 3) does not interfere with the RAM, the side fan was displaced a few millimeters up the radiator and, as a result, hung over the nearest RAM bar. I am attaching a photo of the system engineer: https://yadi.sk/i/bI9pciyVmvGuf I am satisfied with the purchase.

Advantages: Perfect price-performance ratio

Disadvantages: the fan clips may hum a little. This is easily treated by wrapping it with a thin layer of tape or duct tape.

Comment: I have 2 of them: the first on an AMD FX8320 overclocked to 4.5 GHz, the second on an Intel Xeon E3 1270 v3 with a turbo boost. The temperature on both cores at full load does not exceed 60 degrees.

Advantages: Silence, convenient mount for AMD, cooling

Disadvantages: -

Comment: I use it in conjunction with the fx6300. I barely fit into the case, the horns rest against the side wall, but it closes) Although the case was measuring, it seemed like 180mm, but it turned out that space + the processor was spent for fixing the motherboard, it turned out end-to-end. It clocked up to 4.4 Hz, during normal operation about 40 degrees, in games 60-65. Paste included but not used.

Advantages: Tower price for 750r. SILENCE! Mounting.

Disadvantages: I think they are not!

Comment: I put it on the Q8300-Sruzu dispersed by 20%, so the temperature does not rise more than 42g. before that, on a regular cooler 48 in idle, with a wild hum. Completed its task, now only the railway rustles!

Advantages: Price, ease of assembly, many possible fasteners (goes to all sockets), tightly pressed, quiet fan, the ability to install a second fan, does not overlap the RAM slots.

Disadvantages: 1 - Dimensions. The top of the tubes rests against the side cover of the case (if you wish, you can fit, but this is an unnecessary expenditure of time and effort). If the power supply is from the top, the radiator fins become almost point-blank, and if it is assembled on the AMD processor with the direction to the side, then you cannot reach the upper clamp of the fastener, and with the removed power supply unit it is difficult to put it in place. 2 - quality. At a similar price, it’s not bad, but it could be better. The heat pipes are close to each other, although they could have been placed further, significantly improving the quality of the heat sink. The contact point with the processor is not sanded.

Comment: A very good unit for regular home use. Quiet and cold, does not react strongly to strong processor loads. Assembling is quick and instinctive. The fan is installed on the installed cooler by pressing it with brackets to the radiator fins. I use it on a 4-core Phenom with 50% fan speed. In the test, it gave a maximum value of 55-56 C. In idle, it usually gives out 37-38 C. (I have it with 50% power!) The disadvantages are small and insignificant. In general, a very decent cooler, for any socket, any stone.

Advantages: + 4 heatpipes + 120mm fan + you can easily change the fan

Disadvantages: - the regular fan is full of junk

Comment: Cools well, the sole is almost smooth. The main jamb is a noisy fan. Even at 900 rpm, it is the noisiest in the system, although all other fans are budgetary. Before that, people wrote that he is very quiet. Maybe I got from a lousy batch, or maybe the manufacturer began to reduce the cost of production. Moreover, the fan also vibrates noticeably, deviating from the axis, which creates an additional low-frequency cyclic hum.

Advantages: Really cold You can wind up two fans Price Illumination Tubes Radiator

Disadvantages: Difficulty in installation, it is easy to install for the first time, but if you have to correct something, there will be difficulties. The difficulty is in the plastic clips for Intel. They bend when the cooler is removed / installed again. You have to shaman and squeeze them with your hands or pliers

Comment: A cooler with good cooling on my i5-7600K (I haven't driven it to the limit yet) is enough, it looks great in the case, the air really circulates cool, especially since I stand opposite the fan of the system unit, so it's great. But of course, there are problems with the installation, I am a handy person, and my hand is small and my fingers are long, but I experienced difficulties during installation, or rather reinstallation.

Advantages: It completely copes with its task of cooling the processor. Quiet, you can accelerate the stone and not be afraid of overheating.

Disadvantages: By weight, a little heavy.

Comment: It is not recommended to install with crooked hands, you can damage the motherboard.

Advantages: Installation does not cause problems, the instructions on the box are clear. The thermal paste is not bad, the cooler itself is inaudible. It works at 840-1410 rpm and a temperature of no more than 55 degrees with a processor load of 100% AIDA 64.LinX-0.6.5. percent / Intel Xeon X5470

Disadvantages: I want to note that the grinding leaves much to be desired. 2 heat pipes on the sole are slightly concave and do not fit snugly to the processor.

Comment: In general, I do not regret this purchase. I took it for 1650 rubles.

Advantages: Very good cooling (for the FX 4300 there is enough cooling with a huge margin). Very quiet (even when running at full strength). A beautiful blue backlight that is very pleasing to the eye.

Disadvantages: I do not even know the shortcomings or my whim. Most likely the second. 1. There is no instruction. 2. The side cover of the case does not close. I assumed it would be so. The width of my body is 180 cm (measured from the outside). 3. Thermal grease in the kit is somehow viscous.

Comment: .Under the stress test from AIDA 64 for 15 minutes, it shows 40 degrees in Speed ​​Fan, 25 in Speccy, 30 in AIDA 64. At the same time, the cooler worked in full force and even in this situation it is almost inaudible. During these 15 minutes, the temperature did not rise above these indicators and remained at the same level. It's clear business. you will not get such temperatures in any games.
