Good (and cheap) Upgrade from Stock Cooler
Replaced the aluminum core heatsinks on three i3-4360 processors with these copper core units. They dissipate heat much better and should come standard instead of the cheaper aluminum ones. The three i3-4360s were installed in HTPCs built for xmas gifts and are not intended for taxing applications such as high level games, video editing, etc. Under a normal load of watching videos or browsing, the CPU temp is in the 27-34C range.
This is a good low-cost upgrade to guard against excessive CPU temps, but Intel should not be so chintzy and just ship copper core heatsinks across the board.Read full review...

Using this on a 54W Pentium
My 54 watt G4560 came with an all aluminum cooler of the same size but I wanted this one due to the copper core and low profile. I'm using a small case and replacing the all aluminum with this copper core cooler my max temps dropped from 65C to 60C. Idle temps were unchanged at 32-34.Read full review...

Pretty good for a stock cooler
Got this cooler cheap and installed it within seconds on my Asus board with an i5. So far temps are in the 30-35° range at idle and on rare occasions I've seen 60° but only after prolonged 100% load on the cpu. Overall I would definitely recommend this cooler of you plan on just running a stock pc. It's well worth the low price and works better than even some of the aftermarket coolers at this price range.Read full review...

Intel stock fan does the job well
Since this is the factory supplied cooling solution it fits perfectly and keeps my Pentium 4560 running well within temp specs Was easy to attached to motherboard after a quick youtube lesson and is easy to remove as well 4 pin fan header allows for temp readings Mine has the copper core for better dissapation If you do not plan on overclocking, the Intel stock fan should be more than sufficient Read full review...

I-5 4690K stock AL vs stock copper
So the one I used before, the aluminum heatsink did about 5C worst than the one with the copper slug, the TDP of that processor is 88W the stock aluminum has a tdp of 66-88w (estimate) but overclocking is a no-go, with the copper slug heatsink I was able to push a stable 4GHz with a idle of 40-50C and a maximum of 75-86C
Added another fan on top of the heatsink with a cone to improve air flow and managed a stable 70-80C.
(Of course I did undervolt to decrease the temperature.)Read full review...

Quiet & effective
This fan works quite nicely to cool the LGA 115x series of processors. The only thing to be concerned over is the mounting mechanism - - it uses plastic pins with expanders to hold the fan onto the motherboard instead of screws that connect to a metal plate on the underside. Recommend using a small bit of tape on the pins before inserting into the board to ensure a tight & secure connection.Read full review...

CPU heatsink for Intel 6700K Skylake
So the new Skylake processor doesn't come with a heatsink. All though I have an overclockable CPU I wanted to start out with just a basic Heatsink Fan for my build, so I bought this for it. It works great, its quiet, and it keeps my CPU temperature cool. I might upgrade in the future when I oveclock but its doing the job for now pretty well. The only thing I recommend is buying your own "new" thermal paste and replace the thermal paste on the Heatsink, you just don't know how old it is, and its better to have something fresh and new, that's what I did, so I bought the Artic Silver 5. Would I recommend this product? Yes I would. If you are building a new Computer and need a heatsink this does the job fine.Read full review...

Easy on electricity
The advantages of this CPU are that it has the AVX (parallel processing) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) instruction sets, a top speed of 3.1 GHz, and uses a small fraction of the wattage that a similarly configured consumer-grade CPU requires. In addition, server motherboards and ECC memory for it, are about half what you would expect to pay. It runs Windows 8.1 and 10 without problems. What I like most about it though, is that my electricity bill is about a third of what I was paying just a few months ago.
I don't deny that occasionally I miss not having hypethreading and another 600 MHz that the Core i7 3820 afforded. But for most of what I do -- essentially word processing -- it is more than adequate.Read full review...

Excellent heatsink/fan
Does an excellent job for a stock heatsink and fan. Perfect for the Core I3 CPU. 30c to 50c range.

Quiet, Light-weight, and Great price.
I replaced my all-aluminum Intel (Same style) with this copper-base heatsink. It seems to be more effective and un-expectedly more quiet than the other. It will handle CPU's with TDP up to 95 W which will more than cover my future plans to upgrade from my current Core i7-3770 to a Xeon E3-1290-v2 (88 W). I will not be Over-clocking. Recommended.Read full review...
