just arrived ...getting ready to install it, should take an hour or so it bolts through the back of the mother board so I have to take every thing apart...$%##@#$*)(&&^% >(
the main thing that I didn't like about this hsf and there were many (trust me ) first you have to pull the mother board out of the case in order to assemble the anchor's
there are 12 Pieces' that attach to the board 4 nylon washers 4 nylon nuts and 4 of those little brass thingies just like the ones that hold the mother board in place
after this was finished the rest went a little better
the best part about this hsf would be the four springs that aplly the pressure to the die (more parts) 4 screws and 4 washers this went together well :)
ok and the last part the fan... when I took it out of the box I could not believe me eyes this thing was Huge an 80 mm beast!! I was sure I would loose my mind from the noise of this thing ...
after every thing was assembled I fired it up..
I was expecting the papers to blow off my desk but to my surprise the fan actually makes about the same amount of noise as the black label delta on my hog (a sigh of relief)
the temps
if you like to tinker, than this is your fan I had to mess around with this unit for three hours just to get it to equal the hog ...39-40 C full load
the extra 40 bucks over the price of the hog .... buy the hog
