DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 300 CPU Cooling Fan 3 Heatpipes 120mm PWM Fan INTEL/AMD AM4 Compatible,Clear

Stock cooler with my Ryzen 5 2600 was idling at 2,100 RPMs (which is apparently normal for this cooler). Threw on this bad boy and it's idling between 950 and 1100 comfortably at around 32c temps. Overclocked to 3.8/3.9 and only increased to around 40c. I should also note that my Fractal Meshify case has solid air flow. The Gammaxx is quiet, has smooth fans, and I love the blue light.For those mounting to an AMD board: DO NOT FORCE THE CLIPS. I noticed some folks on YouTube were able to clip the heat sink in without any problems but for me that was just not possible with my board. Even after clipping in the small clip first (as recommended on YouTube), the large side was so far off that even after applying some pressure it was not even close to clipping in. It might have been fine but I just didn't want to risk damaging a brand new board. So after fiddling with it for a bit the below solution worked out perfect. It's probably recommended somewhere online but I never came across it.SOLUTION:1) Loosen the board-supplied brackets to the point where it's barely hooked into the mother board's back plate, but still connected, giving you plenty of vertical leeway2) Add thermal paste to CPU3) Carefully align and place the heat sink directly on top4) While holding the heat sink with one hand carefully and slightly lean it to one side, and with the other hand lift up the corresponding board bracket to meet it half way up, and clip it in. Although ideally you don't want to disturb the TP, as you can see by my temps I don't have any issues with my connection, including during load.5) Do the same to the second clip and then finish screwing in the board brackets to the board's back plate. I'm sure some will say to just force in the clips, but this way worked best for me. Hopefully this helps someone out there!

PROscheapworks great on CPU's 65 watts or under (can take more with a fan upgrade)better mounting set up then coolermaster with the 212 coolerlights look nice and it glows well with the fan blades being whitestock fan is quite and seems well madeheat sink is well made and metal is not flimsy, cooper pad was milled wellCONsstock fan runs at 1600RPM and will struggle in a case that does not have good inflowincluded thermal paste works great but comes in a little packet like it was ketchupuses thin metal bars to hold on fan that must be fitted in side tiny metal fines on the cooler to seat right and hold the fan on without rattle but when you get it in the right spot holds welllong story short i have built countless PC's over the last 15 years....have always loved things like the coolermaster 212 cooler as it was great value for money when you could buy them for around 20 dollars....now that CPU cooler is 35 and the fans are garbage....this is a great CPU cooler only let down by its fan spinning at 1600RPM....if this was a 2000RPM fan it would be the best thing you could buy for under 40 bucks making it a value leader BUT as it stands now in a stock set up its middle of the road....conclusion....buy this IF you already have a 2000 RPM fan to put on it OR are using a CPU under 65 watts....what really sucks is i would love to find a 5 pack of these fans for the case but i will still put a higher RPM fan on this cooler....have tested this on a AMD 3400G, 3600, my personal 3700X and last a old 4690k overclocked to 4.2ghz....first 2 stock fan is fine....last 2 stock fan will leave you with high temps under full load....BUT changing the fan will fix it....its really a solid cooler only limited by its fan

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  What you need to know is that I am using a i7 3700 processor. And it had a 59C average temp. I am starting a rebuild and wanted to stay away from Liquid coolers because liquid and electronics do not mix. Granted it can but not without risk. So in preparation to my rebuild which I am doing slowly, I bought this as the thing which I will use with my i9-9900k. The average temperature dropped to 39C using this fan cooler. But I must say that I used two fans not the one they came with. It does a great job and looks good. I will post a picture to this review soon. I had trouble installing this cooler because my case was to tight, it was a cool master case $40. I, in my rebuild, am taking my time to upgrade the motherboard,CPU, and memory as my unit is working but for the fact that it is having trouble running multitasking programs. Having bought a larger case, they Corsair 570x white, I then had enough room to work installing this cooler. You will bloody your knuckles installing, can't be helped. And the plastic ends that hook into the motherboard can bend, be careful. Great cooler with two fans. I refuse to go liquid, but when I install the I9-9900, if it is not sufficient, I will go Noctua NH-D15 - Premium CPU Cooler. And for the price it was worth the try, test, and we shall see.Update: When I got my I9-9900k the plastic used to attach it to the motherboard would not work. I chucked it. Had to buy another one noctua nh-d15. I lowered my rating because of it. Cheap! They could of made it with stronger plastic or metal. no good.

Keeps the cpu very cool, even with the fan running only at 600 RPM. The highest temp I get running linpack or other cpu testing is 36 deg Celsius.The only negative I have is the bottom of the cooler, where it contacts the top of the CPU is not completely smooth. As the heat pipes run through it, even though they are flat, there are gaps between the aluminum and the heat pipes. Using Arctic Silver on the cpu, usually I put a single drop on the middle of the CPU and let it spread out when attaching the cooler. In this case I used a new single-edge razor blade to spread it on the CPU completely, in a very thin coat. Then I attached the cooler.

Pros:1) very easy to install in vast types of mobos, mine was m-atx faced no problem installing it2) manual is very simple to follow3) reduces temperature by 13-15°c in oced cpu so assume it can reduce upto 20°c in non oced cpu4) fan is silent5) all parts looks high quality6) thermal solution included and of good quality7) final looks are radCons:1) since it's big in size it causes overheating of motherboard, capacitors , chips and ram specialy in m-atx configuration2) was expecting upto 20-22°c decrease for my cpu because of its 'features'

Saro brevissimo... pagato 20 euro.monto una CPU Ryzen 5 3600 in case ben ventilato.Sono passato idle 38°C a 31°C e in full load 100% dopo 10minuti (scenario teorico possibile solo nei benchmark) addirittura da 90°C a 65°C.In gioco non ho visto mai temperature superare i 60°C. mediamente sui 50-55.A regime di medio carico la ventola è silenziosissima mentre si avverte a stento in full load mentre era molto fastidiosa quella stock di AMD.Montaggio abbastanza semplice. Montato senza bisogno di smontare la MOBO.Didemi adesso voi se per 20 euro non posso che straconsigliarvi questo prodotto.Non cercate oltre e comprate immediatamente.

I just made my first gaming pc at the grand old age of 53, I have 0 DIY skills so my wife was somewhat skeptical.I used the stock ryzen 5 3600 cooler but it was not great so I took a punt on this there's a great installation video on this on youtube. Just watch this and dam I installed it and it has a blue led on it as well and very quiet, I was so impressed with myself I rang everyone I know to tell them and sent them pictures. All of them so unimpressed by my skills but as I don't care what anyone thinks I now will only be known as the king of pc builder

Absolutely not for AM4, i repeat NOT for AM4. I can confirm what I read in another review, and I am sorry that I did not follow the advice. To be fair the box and the actually spec on the page do not mention AM4 it is the headline that obviously just mentions it in error.The amount of force, and special tools that I had to use to fit this to a Ryzen 5 on an MSI board made me extremely uncomfortable, and if it were not for a rush build I would not have continued. The cooler performs as good or maybe slightly worse than the stock Wraith cooler - but that could be because it has been compromised by the force used to install it, so I can't make a fair comment about its performance.

I just bought a really old Phenom II X4 for an old upgrade on an AMS3 board. The current fan was pretty small, being stock with the Athlon II that I had already. After replacing the CPU and using the original fan I was seeing temps up to 85C - not at all ideal.I ordered this heatsink and fan based on other reviews but forgot one small detail - it's MASSIVE compared to really old fans and heatsinks (remember when CPUs didn't even HAVE fans? Anyway...)Operating temp went from a max of 91C to around 40C under load.The fan is whisper quiet and really well put together, installation was a doddle and it already comes with thermal paste on the base so you don't need any.Already very very pleased with this purchase, well worth the money - just make sure you measure your case! It stands about 26cm off the motherboard which equates to about 29cm off the baseplate of my case, the funnel of the fan JUST fits beneath the case panel when replaced - but I think I was lucky.
