ThermaltakeClp0556-D

I bought this Thermaltake Gravity heatsink fan for my CPU long ago for my LGA 1155 motherboard, but recently needed to buy another one for my other LGA 1155 motherboard. The Thermaltake heatsink fan works good. Definitely quiet. It replaces my other heatsink fan(Intel) that uses those plastic knobs that requires turning counter-clockwise followed by forcibly pulling up those knobs to remove the heatsink fan from the motherboard. Well, in my case, those knobs(or whatever they're called) got stuck, likely due to wear-and-tear and age, and I almost physically broke my motherboard in the process of removing that Intel heatsink fan. With this Thermaltake heatsink fan, I don't have to worry about using any physical pulling force because it uses plain screws to keep the heatsink fan in place on the motherboard. The only negative about this heatsink fan is that you need access to the other side of the motherboard to secure it in place using the plate it comes with for reinforcing the heatsink fan to the motherboard. I prefer to use a screwdriver to secure and to unsecure the heatsink fan, so this product is a good fit for my needs. I have a second Thermaltake Gravity arriving soon to replace a broken heatsink fan(also Intel) on my other LGA 1155 motherboard, which broke because it got so stuck(despite properly turning counter-clockwise and pulling up each knob) that I had to physically to rip it off my motherboard with so much force that the plastic knobs shattered, thus needing to replace it. I have expectations that the Thermaltake Gravity(both the one I'm currently using and the one that is arriving soon) will last much longer than my previous heatsink fan(Intel), and I don't think I will be disappointed.

Me ha gustado la presentación del producto, sencillo, directo e intuitivo. Es fácil de instalar, y a diferencia de los disipadores genéricos que están mas baratos aun, tiene como diferencias que el cableado del ventilador va protegido por un forro enmallado que le sirve de protección adicional, pero es de tres pines, el diseño de las aletas es de color blanco tirando a gris, por lo que resaltara por sobre el resto de componentes, mas que la placa base o la caja en la que este instalado el disipador, y el soporte posterior para fijarlo en la parte trasera de la placa base tiene un diseño que usa tres perforaciones a modo de guía para colocarlo de manera correcta, haciendo que solo se puede poner de una sola forma, y evitando el uso de pegamento que pueda dañar el acabado de la misma.Se monto en una board H57H-AM2 v2.0 que integra un socket LGA 1156, y en la que esta instalado un CPU Intel Core i3 540 con 73 Watts de TDP de disipación. Recomiendo su compra si se va a usar con PC's de gama baja o para reusar PC's antiguas.

I was thinking about going for water cooled of something with flashing lights for my son's gaming computer build. Instead, I went for proven efficiency and reliability. Though the cooler included the thermal paste, I bought a better brand. The i5-9400 runs cool and is consistently at 65 - 70 degrees Celsius. This thing is much quieter than my factory Dell

Good.

Used it to keep my vintage PC running, does its job and keeps the CPU cool.
