Works very well.
1 of 2 found this helpful My old phenom 2 setup was having some issues with either the mother board, ram or CPU. I was hoping to hold out until the AMD zen processors came out to upgrade that way I could shop Intel and AMD. I have no regrets at the moment of upgrading early. This CPU is faster in IPC that my old x4 980, has a higher clock speed and does twice as many threads (that really helps on BOINC running seti@home and milkyway@home). Overall it goes threw data about 2.6x faster than the old Phenom x4 980 at about 80% of the power consumption. I would recommend this to a friend and I would buy again (especially from this selling since he had a killer deal at the time of purchase).

Works!!!
2 of 2 found this helpful I was a little weary since this was an open box sale and I think the board was previously used. But it came in its original box with the user's manual, the install CD, the back plate and the cover that goes over the CPU socket for shipping/packaging. I works like new and I have had now issues with it.

Does the jobs.
1 of 1 found this helpful It does the job. I can't compare it to the cheaper regular model 212 since I don't have one so I don't know how effective the little turbulators are incomparison to the base model. If does keep a 6700k cool on stock clocks and was able to decent over clock with stock voltages (4.5ghz) and still post. The auto overclock would crank it to 4.7ghz and the CPU temps started to get over 80C and the system would not post. I turned to back to stock speeds since I really don't need an over clock but I did want to see how high I could get it. I did use ArticSilver 5. It has a little better conductivity than the supplied paste but I'm sure the stock paste would be fine on 150w and lower CPU's.
The fan is rather quite and never kicks up to 100% speed even after hours of running tasks will use 100% CPU, though there will be a lot of heat coming out of the cooler so you I know its working.
I do like that I can point the fan up to blow the heat up instead of out of the back of the case. Since heat rises anyway it seems to make sense to use that physical property to your advantage if your case has vents on the top.
I have 2 cons with this unit
1) The mounting bracket that fastens to the mother board and hold the cooler down. Even with the screws bottomed out I could still move (twist) the cooler. The old Thermotake freio I have on my old system has not give so you know have much more assurance that there is good contact between the CPU heat spreader and the base of the cooler.
2) When the fan is mounted to the cooler there is a gap in the middle between the fins and the frame/fan shroud. I covered the gap up with a little duct tape so that air will not leak through that gap...any air that would have leaked in the gap now is forced the be drawn threw the heat exchanger fins..
