Awesome slim cooler, but don't expect to overclock with it.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

First and foremost, this slim CPU cooler is designed to cool Intel CPU's at STOCK clock speeds. This is NOT an over clocking capable cooler, unless you have something like an Intel Pentium G3258.

Testing: I benchmarked 3 CPU's with this cooler:
1. i5-4570T @ 35W
2. i7-4790T @ 45W (extremely rare CPU*)
3. i7-4790K @ 84W
(*I had to purchase the i7-4790T as an OEM part from an aerospace laboratory, which made it cost considerably more than the i7-4790K, despite being a lower OEM box price in Intel's Archive)

Testing Environment:
20°C ambient in a Silverstone ML08 gaming PC/HTPC slim case with NO case fans at all AND with both air filters on and off. I decided to put this CPU cooler in a worst-possible cooling scenario with minimal ventilation, making it the ONLY fan in this normally extremely hot PC case. Which is what I believe will be a typical scenario for most cases that this cooler will be used with. The GPU used is an EVGA GTX970 FTW, with a Corsair SF 600watt mITX PSU.

Temperature test 1: Idle @ 30 minutes at the desktop (4k display with all visual window effects on, scaling @ 100%) after background programs load in, with Windows power profiles set to 100% CPU speed minimum. All stock clock speeds with turbo boost always ON, except for on the i7-4790K, I turned Turbo boost OFF on that CPU to prevent damage.
CPU1: i5-4570T 35W - 38°C
CPU2: i7-4790T 45W - 40°C
CPU3: i7-4790K 84W - 49°C

100% load temps during a 4k video render with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 after 1 hour:
CPU1: i5-4570T 35W - 59°C (too slow to render)
CPU2: i7-4790T 45W - 63°C
CPU3: i7-4790K 84W - Temperature Max Hit after 32 minutes, CPU performed an emergency shut off to protect itself from damage.

Temperatures while gaming:
I tested Entropia Universe on CryEngine 2 (Latest 2016 VU client) Game settings Maxxed out at 1080P, 1440p, and then at 4K with Anti aliasing both on and off.

(This game made the i5-4570T absolutely cry at being pinned to 100% usage when in cities at 4K with AA turned on and light rays turned to Max)

1080p Max temps after 30 minutes:
i5-4570T - 49°C in town/47°C in the open grasslands. 58°C at Camp Icarus.
i7-4790T - 53°C in town/50°C in the open grasslands. 56°C at Camp Icarus.
i7-4790K - 65°C in town/57°C in the open grasslands. 74°C at Camp Icarus.

1440p max temps after 30 minutes:
i5-4570T - ~1% almost no temperature change.
i7-4790T - ~1% almost no temperature change.
i7-4790K - 67°C in town/59°C in the open grasslands. 76°C at Camp Icarus.

4K Max temps after 30 minutes.
(Not playable at 4K on Max on a GTX 970, it cannot handle this game at 4K and stay above 20 FPS, Medium-High settings are fine however with AA off)
i5-4570T - 59°C in town/58°C in the open grasslands. 61°C at Camp Icarus.
i7-4790T - 59°C in town/56°C in the open grasslands. 61°C at Camp Icarus.
i7-4790K - 71°C in town/64°C in the open grasslands. 81°C at Camp Icarus.

If you can get your hands on an i7-4970T, and a Silverstone ML08 PC case, not only is this cooler amazing for its price, it's also the biggest cooler you can physically fit into the ML08's 58mm height restriction. I highly recommend this cooler for slim builds limited to 58~60mm cooler height.

Looks are deceptive, it's an awesome cooler!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 22, 2015

Heatsink: 9/10. Fan: 6/10.

If you have a Silverstone ML-03 case, this is a MUST BUY. I replaced the included fan with a normal sized 120mm fan (25mm thick), and this heatsink is at the exact height for the fan to either intake or exhaust air straight through the ventilation holes in the top panel. Because of how packed the fins on this heatsink are, I experienced no heat or performance issues whatsoever, despite the small form factor.

In general, the heatsink is VERY compact, and VERY effective. Much better than a stock heatsink. Looking at it from the side, it might seem silly to expect good performance, because of how thin it looks; however, there are tons of cooling fins, spaced tightly together. It's deceptive, but the metal surface area is enough that 100% of the fan's airflow is utilized. It will clear standard height memory by a few millimeters; however, after this heatsink is installed, it will probably block you from putting in, or taking out, dimms in the memory slot that it overhangs. (So install your memory before installing this heatsink!)

I have also used this CPU cooler with its included fan, and it works decently. It will keep a 95W (tdp) processor running; I have tested this for gaming. In games, or in situations where Chrome demands a lot of processor use, it won't be entirely quiet... but I didn't find its noise to be unpleasant. Anyway, at idle, the fan is very quiet. In my system it idles at either whisper-quiet 500RPM, or is turned off. It works in both PWM and DC configurations.

Using this thin fan to blow upward from the heatsink will not be effective. When testing this configuration (with silicone 'spacers' under the corners), it would give me about 30 minutes of gaming before a crash. (The crashes were exclusively caused by RAM errors due to the heat.) -1 star for not having a fan that works both ways, because when you're building in a small case, you might need the option.

Overall, I would highly recommend to install this CPU cooler if you are building in a thin case, if it positions the CPU fan where you want it, and if you want some space around the motherboard afterwards! Pairing it with an aftermarket 120mm fan is also recommended, if you need it to be quieter, and/or if you need to exhaust air upwards - though you should try the fan that's included first, because it's decent. With the stock fan, this cooler is almost as good as a Thermalright AXP 200 Muscle, but also more compact.

Good performance, slightly noisy fan, difficult to install, make sure your RAM is less than 40mm high

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

Bought for use in a node 202, which it fits in if you remove the dust filter (or trim it down).
The slimline fan is slightly noisier than I would have liked, I'll likely swap it out at some point soon, I set it up as an exhaust, rather than an intake, from the case.
The fan had a tendency to rattle, so I placed some thin rubber strips between the fan and the heatsync to prevent rattling.

Performance wise, this is great, it's keeping an overclocked 8600k at a reasonable temperature without too much noise.
Unfortunately, it's very fiddly to install as you need access to both the front and back of the motherboard at the same time.

Make sure to check the height of your RAM, the Shuriken is 120mm wide and WILL interfere with your ram in a small (M-ITX) motherboard, make sure to avoid large heatsyncs. I'm using some Crucial Ballistix Elite which is 40mm high and the absolute tallest that will fit!

Fiddly to install but amazing cooler

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

Bought originally for a Node 202 case but due to the CPU placement of my motherboard I wasn't able to install the GPU riser as the pins on the riser touched the fins of the cooler! One replacement case (Raijintek Ophion) later and it's fine. So YMMV with your motherboard.

Make sure you read the instructions as it's easier to install some of the screws out of the case first, then mount to the motherboard. Otherwise, really good!

At full speed the fan is barely audible I find, a lot quieter than my old Cryorig C7. It takes up a lot of space as the fan is massive, but worth it.

I see similar temperatures in a warm case (at stock speeds) to some people with overclocked, watercooled systems which is a bonus!

Not meant for Micro Motherboards.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

After weeks of deciding on which one of the many coolers available to buy, I still choose the wrong one it did not fit my AMD GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-D3HP motherboard.
The five copper pipes protrude from both sides of the fan, (this is a good thing in transferring the more heat to the fins, most coolers only have half the amount of pipes i.e. On one side only.) because of this i could not turn the fan around so that the copper pipes miss my Memory cards.
I could have bodged it and used the two memory slots furthest away, but this would mean my memory cards would not be in interlaced memory banks and so run slower.
The Fan looks good quality well designed, and comes with adaptors for AMD and Intel.
I would state that it is NOT a straight forward clip in fan, as the motherboard has to be removed to fit the Cooler mount on the underside of the Motherboard after first removing the original mount.

Well reviewed cooler, but struggles with high end CPUs in ITX cases

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 8, 2017

Pros:

Low profile
Fits into Node 202
Quiet Fan - PWM
Design will also cool VRM
Simple Install on LGA 115x platforms

Cons:

Poor cooling performance - struggles with high-end CPUs - 6700k at 100% load runs at 95+ Degrees

Looking around at professional reviews the cooler appears to do better than my experience - this could be down to the case choice as the only airflow is from the scythe fan and the fan sits almost next to the case - restricting airflow further.

Lovely piece of engineering, and very effective; but instructions could be better

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

It was not that difficult to fit although a bit of a fiddle (including getting to the back of the motherboard). I am convinced I assembled exactly as per instructions, but the fact the rubber gromits serve no purpose at all suggests the spacing is not as they intend. The thing that troubled me was that with the geometry of my particular socket 1156 motherboard there was quite a bit of guesswork involved - if I tightened it too much I might have strained and possibly damaged the motherboard; tightened not enough and there I might have risked the item not being clamped properly onto the processor.

However the result is a very well cooled processor, and the fan is hardly audible. I would not hesitate to give 5 stars if the instructions were clearer.
