For the first few weeks, the stock cooling ramped up on the RPM for fan speed when I played most games (ie. Built an identical system for the girlfriend but with a different case which included more case fans. I purchased a few 120mm case fans and installed them. This cooler only comes with one fan but includes the additional clips to attach another 120mm fan. I had to take out the top two 120mm case fans due to the case not having enough room but did place one of them as the second fan on this cooler and set it up to where the airflow goes through the heat sink for better cooling."
"Alignment of the heat sink makes it hard to install ram once installed if using all 4 slots, would advise to have ram in place before installed. Cons: Excess heat pipes at the top of the unit make it not fit in my Apevia Mid Tower."
"I've always used the stock cooler that came with my CPUs because my logic was that those coolers are designed to work with those CPUs and I don't over clock therefore did not need a bigger cooler. After doing some researching my two options were either get a new PSU as a failing power supply can cause the issues I was having or I could buy a new CPU cooler since I noticed that my computer was idling mid to high 50 degree Celsius. I used to not mind the minor fan noise that came from my PC, but compared to how quiet it is now those stock coolers are loud. This cooler does come with some thermal paste with which to apply and install the cooler but I had some higher quality stuff laying around from a previous mother board upgrade/replacement so I used it instead. I'm not sure of the quality of the thermal paste that comes with the cooler but I'd probably spend a couple extra bucks and buy you a high quality paste alongside your order of this cooler just to be safe. When I ordered this cooler I ordered a double pack of the fans found at this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6S10KK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. So this cooler isn't the sole upgrade I did and I have since ordered another single pack of the fan I linked and a molex adapter so I'll now go from just 2 exhaust fans to 3 intake and 2 exhast. My point is, your differences may not be as drastic as mine as I've made other cooling upgrades to aid this cooler, even then the cooler itself has proven to be putting in work."
"I'm hoping my new case, a deepcool tesseract, will resolve this issue and I will be able to overclock my CPU to where I want it to be."
Enjoy better cooling performance and lower noise, and protect your investment in your CPU. New, improved SP120L fan offers lower noise and better performance. Mounting brackets for Intel LGA 115x/1136/2011 and AMD AM2/AM3/AM4/FM1/FM2.

"My problem was: GTX 1080ti running hot when overclocked and under load. Installed 4 Corsair Quiet 120mm case fans (two top: exhaust, two front: intake) to direct airflow. The hot air from the GPU was exhausting at top of case and passing directly over the stock CPU air cooler rising it's temp to +71 Celsius. The Corsair H75 remedied that nicely, now I'm seeing temps in the low 40's and mid 50's under load with 'IntelBurnTest' running at maximum load level or while running AC:Origins in 4K Ultra settings."
"The Prolimatech 140 mm x 15 mm fans just fits. BUT although the Prolimatech fits the 120 mm bolt holes, I had to file the fan shroud to clear the radiator hose fittings. If this scares you, substitute a Prolimatech 120 mm x 15 mm fan, it will fit just fine and its extra blades will make up for its diminished thickness.."
"The stock heatsink totally stinks on this chipset. Two weeks after getting it and using it for renders I started getting a pop up warning that my computer was 65-68 degrees Celsius. This barely fit in that case."
"The Dual Dissipation coolers installed would have the top running at 94C and throttling and the bottom at 75-80C at full speed with all the SP120s at full speed."
"For my case I couldn't do the stock installation on the back of the case as the top of the radiator extended beyond my power supply, so I drilled the side panel of my case with vent holes and mounting holes and installed it there. Well, before on max load with my stock fans my system sounded like a Boeing 747 on take off, but now all I hear is a very low purr, so comparatively speaking it's quiet, but there is some sound."
"Just received and installed my Hydro Series H80i V2 Extreme Performance and it is working very well."

"The cooling pad works so well that sometimes my laptop's fans don't even run, and they used to run nonstop."
"Even if you don't have a computer that runs at a high temperature, I love having the computer at an angle and having the lights shine underneath."
"If I use it on my lap, I put it on a lap board or something hard to keep the fan open to ventilation."
"The light up fans are also cool."
"Together the two have allowed me to drop temps in my Satellite S-855 from getting hot enough for the computer to abruptly shut itself off to temps now in the mid 30s C. About two weeks in I had issues with the rear fans in mine not spinning up and the lighting just flickered. There are no instructions included, and I may not have realized the second switch was supposed to turn on the second set of fans. I think they gave me an estimate 7-10 days out and it showed up in 2."
"It's also quieter than my alternate -- Kootek Laptop Cooling Pad 12"-17" Cooler Pad Chill Mat 5, which is just as excellent a cooling pad."
"One Suggestion: You could Add a second set of pop-up tabs to the very front of the cooling pad, as I have almost an entire inch of the bottom fans showing: a second set of holding tabs would put the back fans under my Notebook."

"The ambient temp has been a steady 70ºF (before and after the change). The Cooler Master fan speed is half of the OEM. Another suggestion for those that aren't experienced in getting into their system would be to take a picture of your current arrangement (SATA cables, Power supplies, etc). It's very important to put the SATA cables back to the same drive they were attached to in the beginning. In retrospect, I should have done a dry fit and paid more attention to the details in the cooler orientation would have made."
"- Air flow is way easier to design with with a stand-up fan blowing from front to back. - Optional second 120mm fan can be mounted with provided attachment. - Cheap. - Versatile, can be used for many chipsets, so if you ever make a new build you will most likely be able to use it again (see product description). Not really cons, but to keep in mind: - No preset thermal paste (tube included). - If your RAM has extra metal on top (heatsink), it might be tight/hard to fit/not fit (easy-breezy with low-profile Ballistix). - If it's an upgrade, you will have to remove your motherboard as there is a part to attach at the bottom. Also, they mixed multiple chipset AMD/INTEL setup instructions so pay attention to the top left corner of each drawing."

"If you're unsure about the optional secondary fan fitting, take a 140mm case fan and set it on top of your RAM (vertically as if it were on the cooler sitting above the RAM). If it still clears the side of your case with a few millimeters to spare then you're likely OK. Even with the slight offset of the optional fan with the Corsair Vengeance LPX sticks I had plenty of headroom in the Air 540 even though it stated a 170mm clearance."
"HUGE, it's HUGE. Does it's job as described."
"Installation was easier than other air coolers, though I personally had a problem lining up two screws on the bottom to secure it."
"After installing this beautiful cooler it dropped my temps down 30c at full load and won't let my cpu get above 58c."
"What a difference over the stock AMD cooling fan (that sounded like a small jet engine in my living room). No big deal, just do not unscrew the 4 mounting screws at the same time, the back plate will fall off."

At that temp it felt like there was a Harrier hovering above my room due to the reference fan trying to cool it. After installation+12V+side case fan my temps on full load were 65-84C (avg 76C) for main chip, VRM1 was 68-86C (avg 78C). I highly recommend getting a side case fan to cool the VRMs. That's why connect cooler to MOBO or 12V adapter so fans spin faster."
"The end result is that there is a lot of work that goes into this and unless you buy additional parts right away you will likely have to do an install on this 2x. Pros: Great GPU cooling went from 60s idle to 40s in R9 390. Quiet Fans. Good overclock potential. Cons: May need additional heatsinks for memory and VRM. Plastic bracket for GPU backplate heatsink is a PITA to install. Huuuge(unless you have a massive gap between gpu and front rack... dont bother). Edit: Its been 11 months and the middle fan has burnt and now emits such a pungent smell that i am forced to remove the shroud."
"However, when I received this unit I found that while this cooler will bolt onto my card over the GPU, the cooler added significant total length to my card. The problem is that the GPU is centered on my card but the GPU heat sink on the cooler is offset far to one end, which made the card along with cooler WAY too long."
"Sure enough, I was getting a full 12V at the fans. Nothing I did would make either of the two coolers work."

"Frame is solid and the mesh that lets air through is made of sturdy metal. You can use the cooling pad flat, or tilted up at an angle by extending two retractable legs in the back. If it wasn't for the blue light glow I wouldn't know they were on, especially if you have a TV or radio playing in the background, or any sound coming from your PC (music, videos, etc.). The design has interesting angles and the fans have a blue LED light glow when they are turned on. FORTUNATELY, the pad has two flip up "pins" that act to stop a laptop from sliding off (great idea). So, my only warning to any purchaser is that if you have a heavy laptop,be aware of this so that you don't end up damaging your computer."

"The mat allows you to control front and back fans separately, also has two nice little notches at the front that acts as a guard that keeps the laptop from sliding downward."
"The cooling power is pretty good -- I play on a 13" laptop (13.3" screen) so it fit my laptop perfectly. I only play games like LoL or Maplestory (don't judge me) and run my laptop on high performance to get best FPS for the former game, so my laptop tends to heat up. I put some paper in the gap for the plastic bit so it doesn't protrude out of my laptop and into my arm; it's low enough to hold my laptop back and for me to not feel it."
"The fans on my PC are way at the top (underneath) by the monitor hinge and my internal laptop fan blows air to the left out of the side of the laptop frame (rather than the bottom...) so I need wide, rear coverage which I get in full. NOTE: Still haven't used the two bottom kick stands but they are hard to get out or strong whichever way you view it. Owned over a week... After 6+ months the only thing to know is that you can use a standard can of compressed air to blow the dust out of these if they are left out daily."
"Great Cooling Pad, lightweight but has great air movement with 2 banks of 2 fans in each bank that you can control the speed of each bank."
"This is the first cooling pad I've ever had and I think it works really well. I don't particularly like the design of the cooling pad, but as my laptop is always on top I guess it doesn't really matter."
"There are two small lift-up levers on top nearest the user. They are there so the laptop won't slide toward the user."

"While playing Mass Effect Andromeda at Ultra setting,my GPU was running at a cool 50ish C while my CPU temperature spiked to 85c!!!! I tried remounting the stock intel cooler with server grade thermos paste but that didn't fix the problem and my CPU fan was already running at full speed."
"Cooler Master Hyper T4 CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes RR-T4-18PK-R1, INTEL/AMD with AM4 Support. So I first want to say that performance wise I would give it 4.5 stars, because: A) It's affortable. B) It's quiet. C) It keeps my Intel i5 470 an average of 27c idle and mid 37c on video rendering. Then we have the build quality, yes I know this is a cheaper cooler but... fan clips look like you could break easily if your not careful."
"You'll bend a few fins installing it, but it's all good. Installation is a little difficult, especially in more compact cases."
"There's a backing plate that mounts underneath the motherboard at the CPU location, and an awkward X-style bracket on the top, which holds the heat sink down on the CPU and attaches through the motherboard holes to the bracket on the back."
Best Water Cooling Systems
Liquid cooling works better than air cooling, and the self contained design of the H115i gets you up and running quickly so you can spend more time enjoying the performance of your overclocked processor and less time assembling, filling, and maintaining your cooling system. Improved coldplate and pump design: better efficiency gives you lower temperatures with less noise.

Find Best Price at Amazon"The fans on the radiator are SP120L PWM fans which are very solids fans however are still a bit loud for my liking. Here is a link to the fans that I purchased Noctua NF-F12 PWM Cooling Fan. Compared to an air cooled system you can expect to see a decent drop in temps anywhere from between 5-10C depending on the cooler you are using. A couple things I want to point out: Installation is very easy however to install this cooler you will need to install a support bracket on the underside of your motherboard. For others that are simply looking at transferring over from an air cooled build then you most likely will have to remove the motherboard from the case in order to install the cooler. In summery this is an amazing cooler for those that are not ready for the DIY liquid cooling builds. Corsair coolers are really top notch and I highly recommend them to anyone interested in using a liquid cooled system."
"The tubes are somewhat stiff so the flow of water isn't restricted, so don't think this can be bent multiple ways to fit your case. Appearance) Once installed the cooler looks great, I love the LEDs and the clean look it gives the entire build in comparison to a huge radiator being mounted on my CPU. I have soundproofing where I installed these fans as intakes, but if your case doesn't have such feature, it's worth to note these can get very loud, especially in performance mode. Unfortunately, the software isn't very intuitive, and most of the features it offers are much more limiting than using other methods, rendering it completely useless aside from the fact you can change the color of the LED with it."
"This water cooler "Corsair Hydro Series H115i" is an amazing pump for what you pay for (although there may be some inconveniences depending on the CPU socket type you have), I wasn't able to get it working with my am3+ socket although it states it can support it."
"Ultimately I had to return this product and go with a traditional Fan/Heatsink combo because the fans & water pump were extremely noisy!"
