Not the easiest install on an AM3+ motherboard. Gets really cozy with the first RAM slot, bur once in it does a great job of keeping the CPU cool. The lights are a nice touch.

The media could not be loaded.
Looks and runs great. No harder than any other air cooler to hook up. Everything you need is included.

At one point, the CNPS 10X line meant "10 heatpipes"... now, that isn't literal, as they only used 5 going up the fin stack twice... but the point was clear enough. They reduced that amount, and didn't grow the size of the pipes. They did move to a direct contact though... which didn't help all that much. The heatsink is also smaller, with much less mass. I needed an AM4 heatsink, so I tested this, then I grabbed my old flex, moved the mounting hardware over to it, and got better results. Too bad they don't mention they have mounting hardware available that would work on my old 10x flex.Now, it is worth mentioning, that on it's own, and without historical context, the heatsink and fan are fine. Not great, not bad, just fine. The lights on it look cheap, and lazy. Most of that is because of the weird choice to have rainbow LED on the lid, and white on the fan. Had they just gone white, they would have been better off.That said... it's cheap, and keeps even the highest end AM4 chips cool enough. Which is all I guess we should expect at this price.
