Coolermaster X Dream 4 Frameless CPU Fan for LGA 775 socket RR-LEE-L911-GP
Jul 17, 2018
Quality built cooling solution on a budget.
For a LGA775 socket cooler, this has a larger aluminum heat sink than the intel cooler. I put this on using the pre-applied thermal paste and measured temps under load, and then removed that paste and applied artic silver 5 paste and measured temps again. I found that the stock paste performed only 2C worse than the custom paste. I consider this very good performance for stock paste, so if you aren't overclocking you might as well just use the paste that is on there.
Ran very cool, even in stress test. 31C idle, 49C max
I have seen some other reviews that indicate this CPU runs hot, but it hasn't been my experience at all. I put nothing-special-from-china thermal grease on this in an X pattern and with ambient room temp of 22C, this ran at 31C idling in the BIOS, and when stressed at 100% usage 49C max.
I don't know what to say, with this giant sinks, it's really great. I suppose in the summer with ambient temps at 35C, this will run (guessing 60C max, but not bad if you ask me)
Bought this phone a year ago, battery life is very decent, screen is crisp and high resolution, camera is excellent. Phone is very slippery so get a case for it. My wife has one too, no problems at all, would recommend to friends.
