Thermaltake Cl-P051-Al06Sl-A

Not much to say .... it's a cooler. Works well. More quiet than I thought it would be.

Me ha gustado la presentación del producto, sencillo, directo e intuitivo. Es fácil de instalar, y a diferencia de los disipadores genéricos que están mas baratos aun, tiene como diferencias que el cableado del ventilador va protegido por un forro enmallado que le sirve de protección adicional, pero es de tres pines, el diseño de las aletas es de color blanco tirando a gris, por lo que resaltara por sobre el resto de componentes, mas que la placa base o la caja en la que este instalado el disipador, y el soporte posterior para fijarlo en la parte trasera de la placa base tiene un diseño que usa tres perforaciones a modo de guía para colocarlo de manera correcta, haciendo que solo se puede poner de una sola forma, y evitando el uso de pegamento que pueda dañar el acabado de la misma.Se monto en una board H57H-AM2 v2.0 que integra un socket LGA 1156, y en la que esta instalado un CPU Intel Core i3 540 con 73 Watts de TDP de disipación. Recomiendo su compra si se va a usar con PC's de gama baja o para reusar PC's antiguas.

I was thinking about going for water cooled of something with flashing lights for my son's gaming computer build. Instead, I went for proven efficiency and reliability. Though the cooler included the thermal paste, I bought a better brand. The i5-9400 runs cool and is consistently at 65 - 70 degrees Celsius. This thing is much quieter than my factory Dell

Good.

If you need a great, basic cooler for your Intel chip that’s slightly better than the default cooler, look no further! Make sure you check to ensure your motherboard/processor are < 95W (so most of the relevant intel chips) and are one of the compatible sockets (again, most recent sockets) - once you do that, this CPU cooler is easy to install (install the backplate then screw in the 4 screws and plug in the fan header. Done.Couple of quick notes - first, this does use a backplate (unlike the push-pin based default included cooler) which means you’ll need to access the back of your motherboard. Not an issue if you’re installing a new motherboard in a new case, but if you’re replacing an existing cooler in a complete build, you may have to remove the motherboard if you don’t have access to the back of the board in the case. I actually like this as the install is much more secure that the push pins - and you know you have the right tension - but it is something to be aware of.Second, this does have pre-applied thermal paste which makes it easy to use. The thermal paste seems to be of reasonable quality and is well applied - I used it as is for the initial install, but ended up moving the chip to new board and having to use my own. Expected and no issues - but if you’re looking for a bit more performance, you might want to think about changing the paste. If you’re running stock clocks and not running at max all the time, the included paste should be just fine.Third and final consideration - this is not a cooler for overclockers. It can probably handle a minimal overclock - but it’s really designed to be cool and reasonably quiet at stock settings, voltages and the like and it does well at that.With those considerations out of the way, if you have a compatible chip and don’t mind the above caveats, this is a great cooler and highly recommend!
