RAIJINTEK AIDOS Black 92mm CPU Cooler for Intel LGA 201x/1366/115x/775 & AMD Socket FM2+/FM2/FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2

Performance wise, I'm happy with this cooler. When my girlfriend wanted to play the Sims on my old computer, I said sure, it can handle it! The game ran fine, but when I checked the temps out of curiosity, I got a little surprise! My 6 year old Athlon X4 was reaching over 100 degrees C durring stress tests and was floating between 89 and 93C while playing the game... just a bit too hot for comfort. This cooler dropped my stress test temps to 90 max, and around 80 during game play.Didn't want to spend much on an older computer, so this was perfect as far as value, but there were a few issues.First off, it came out of the box with several bent fins... not just a little bend to 'em either; they were almost kinked on the bottom of one side. I decided it wasn't a huge deal to me since I was installing it on such an old CPU, but I probably would have returned it if I was using it on my new rig. The box says it would work with a few newer AMD and Intel socket types, so buyer beware if you care about things like that.Second, I would have liked it to install with the fan pointing toward the back of the case, vertically instead of pointing toward the top (horizontally.) The heat pipes don't raise the radiator enough to clear my ram in the first slot, so I had to move my RAM to the outside slots. Seems like the whole thing would have had better clearance if it mounted vertical instead, like most other coolers I've seen. Again, this issue wasn't a deal breaker for me because it's an old computer that will only get minimal use, and my motherboard didn't mind the RAM being in the A2/B2 instead of A1/B1 slots. If you have 4 sticks of ram or your motherboard wants two in A1/B1, you might have issues here.Final issue came when I went to install the fan. My hardware kit was missing the fan clips... luckily, the rubber isolators kinda work to hold the fan in place without the clips, and it hasn't been an issue for me so far. Fan seems quiet enough, and is a PCM fan at least.Overall, its a 4 star item because of its value, but since mine came damaged and missing parts, I dropped it to 3 stars.

I purchased this for $20 shipped. The base was not polished but appears to be flat if a little rough (that is what the TIM is for I guess). I'm using an old tube of arctic silver 2 applied in a very thin layer. The fan at 2200 rpm is very audible but I don't plan on running the processor full load 24/7. It is very quiet at idle and normal usage. On another review it was stated that fan clips were not included but mine came with fan clips and the little rubber things so I used them both. So far with a couple of hours using torture test #2 on prime95 my I5-3475S appears to be running 50-55 in a cool winter basement. This is cooler and quieter than the stock HSF so I'm happy with the performance. The mounting caused issues however. My ASRock H67M-ITX/HT has a chip right where the baseplate wanted to lay on the motherboard. As the stock Intel HSF didn't use a baseplate I assumed it was unnecessary and dug through an old back of spare parts and located some nylon/plastic washers to use instead. As not everyone will have a small parts bag you may want to check the backside of your motherboard before ordering.

Used on my Vega 56 with Vega 64 bios. Run 2 Noctua NF-P 12 redux fans at 1400rpm on the cooler and the card is not audible inside my Corsair 400q case. The reference blower fan was loud even at stock 2400rpm. Cools even better than the reference cooler with the fan maxed at 4900rpm which was really loud. At 240-250w I get 1575mhz at 63c on the core, 1100mhz at 68c on the HBM, and VRMs are 82c. This was with card maxed for 1 hour playing witcher 3. I have only had the card together for 1 day but am pleased with the results over the reference cooler with more to gain after more tweaking.Stock with vega 56 bios superposition 1080p extreme score was 3600. Vega 64 bios above clocks with Morpheus 2 and fans 4650. No hbcc. Those are as good if not better than most of the overclocked Vega 64 scores I have found with no noise!It requires a little messaging here and there on the Vega card for installation but the effort is well worth it.Perfect for Vega users.

TL;DR - This is good to replace blower style coolers.It's smaller than I expected. Its smaller than my stock evga 1080 ti ftw3 cooler. However, it doesn't go below 60c. Not sure how some are getting mid 50's. I'm assuming you live in Antarctica. At 26c I was getting 61c with LM. The power/memory temps were way worse at 70c. That's with the heat sinks it comes with.My stock cooler with LM and Grizzly Minus 8 Pads ($100, 2 x 1mm and one 2mm) I get 62c on all temps after 2 hours.I'm not sure if water will get me below 60c after 2 hours? What I am sure of is I'm not spending $300+ for custom loop, even if it could guarantee 50c max after 2 hours.

Reduced all my temps by 10 degrees. Great value.Install for my AMD was a little fiddly. Not super happy about it pointing up/down rather than left right with the AMD option install, so keep that in mind.Also, they really need to do a better job at packaging their coolers to avoid damage.What set the whole experience apart for me, though was the absolutely fabulous and attentive customer service. I had a few issues, and they quickly and completely made everything right. I was floored at how helpful they were.I would not hesitate to buy from them again just because of that.

Got this for my MSI Armor 1080 which is notoriously undercooled and runs hot. Before putting this on it would idle at around 55-60 C and after it went down to 25-30! Under load it before it would reach 80 and above in a very short time. After application it would only hit 70 after about an hour and under extreme graphics settings on 4k. Overall it was a great way to get extra cooling without doing liquid cooling and extended the life of my gpu. Beware the size though this takes up a full 3 slots once on.

Ma configuration est à base d'AMD Vishera FX-8320 (socket AM3+) monté sur carte mère Asus M5A99FX Pro r2.0, le premier en version "Black Edition" débridée et la seconde permettant l'overclocking "à la volée" sous Windows 7 grâce à l'AI Suite II. Le tout dans un boitier CoolerMaster N400 doté de 6 ventilateurs (2x120mm + 1x140mm en aspiration et 3x120mm en extraction.Mais à pleine charge avec un CPU overclocké à 4.0 Ghz (pour 3.5 Ghz "Stock"), le ventirad de série faisait un boucan digne d'un sèche-cheveux sans pouvoir contenir la température en dessous de 70°C (pour 19°C ambiant).Seule solution, changer le ventirad; mon premier mouvement me portait soit vers un Noctua NH-U12S (très cher), soit vers le CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo dont la technologie CDT (Continuous Direct Touch) à 4 heatpipes de 6mm me séduisait assez sur le papier et rentrait dans mon budget (bien "secoué" par l'achat de tout le reste de la config').Jusqu'à ce que je tombe sur un comparatif de techpowerup.com qui plaçait le Raijintek Thémis dans le "Top 10" des meilleurs ventirads, faisant jeu égal avec le Noctua et loin devant le CoolerMaster. Technologie HDT quand même, avec 3 heatpipes de 8mm (ce qui est peut-être même mieux que 4x6mm en terme de dynamique des fluides).Et là, effectivement, j'ai pu constater qu'à pleine charge à 4.0 Ghz la T° du CPU ne dépassait pas 49°C (Cf. photos)... A 30% de charge, la température reste même gentiment à 34°C, et tout cela dans un certain silence comparé au précédent ventirad.Quant au montage, il est simple et la notice claire. Petite astuce pour monter le ventilateur sur le radiateur: frottez les manchons d'assemblage en caoutchouc sur un savon, et cela deviendra un jeu d'enfant.A noter que le ventilateur fourni est un 120mm standard "sleeve bearing" de CFM 77, PWM 4 broches, et qu'il est possible de monter un 2ème ventilateur de 120mm de l'autre coté du radiateur pour fonctionner en mode "Push/Pull". Au demeurant, le ventilateur fourni étant doté de points d'ancrage standard, il me sera toujours possible, le moment venu, de le remplacer par un autre éventuellement plus puissant (Voir mon commentaire sur le Scythe Grand Flex - 2400rpm  Scythe Grand Flex Ventilateur de Boîtier 2400 rpm Noir ).Seul point négatif à mes yeux, la disposition horizontale obligatoire avec un CPU AMD AM3+ (pas "top" pour un ventilo "sleeve bearing"), ce qui, sur ma carte-mère, condamne quasiment le slot mémoire A1 si l'on utilise des barrettes à heatsink hypertrophié (mais bon, Asus recommande pour une config' à 2 barrettes d'utiliser A2 & B2, et j'avais heureusement doté ma carte de 2 "grosses" barrettes (8Go l'une) Crucial Ballistix Tactical  Crucial BLT8G3D1869DT1TX0CEU Barette Memoire 8GB Tactical DDR3 1856 (PC3-14900) CL9, 1,5V w.XMP ). Et puis les barrettes Low Profile ça existe. Scythe Grand Flex Ventilateur de Boîtier 2400 rpm NoirCrucial BLT8G3D1869DT1TX0CEU Barette Memoire 8GB Tactical DDR3 1856 (PC3-14900) CL9, 1,5V w.XMP

I've dabbled with monster coolers in the past with a rather chunky Arctic Accelero Extreme on my old 7970, which I absolutely loved. This Morpheus II makes it look tiny in comparison.My Fury X's radiator was starting to chug so I thought replacement time. The M II does a really great job at cooling with two (for now) Enermax 120 fans, keeping similar temps to the rad (60c vs 61c) in a quick Heaven bench test with the fans a full chat. Very impressive.The only thing to look out for is, when installing make sure none of the supplied heatsinks touch the Morpheus at all!! Or you'll be in trouble.On first install my system fired up and booted, all good, so I ran Heaven and as soon as the benchmark started my system shutdown.I immediately ripped my card out to check and reseat the M II, put it back in but it did the same thing.At this point the panic was starting to build, because I'd noticed only half of the cooling plate was contacting the FuryX die.If you can see in the pic, one of the vrm heatsinks was ever so slightly in contact with a heatpipe that the M II would not sit properly.Just in case anyone is interested in one of these, it's something to look out for, because even when I checked and double checked the clearances before mounting it still caught me out.This is a remarkable if monstrous cooler, so if you have the room and some patience, I highly recommend it.

Mi trovo costretto a dare solo 3 stelle perché pur essendo un bel prodotto e di buona fattura (radiatore e ventola), mi sono trovato a cercare degli adattatori (quelli cilindrici neri in plastica) di spessore adeguato simili agli originali, perché quelli originali erano solo tre e per giunta con il filetto rovinato. Non l'ho riconsegnato per necessità, per non tenere ancora il PC fermo.Comunque consiglio il prodotto il quale mantiene le promesse di raffreddamento, con FarCry4, e con inpostazioni massime, mai sopra i 50 gradi.aggiornamento sul prodotto del 04/05/2015:incredibile e dire poco, non mi era mai successo che una ventola con neanche 1 mese di vita si sia rovinata, di tanto in tanto si blocca di colpo e mi fa andare in blocco il PC. pensavo meglio di questa marca ma dati alla mano...NON COMPRATELA è PROGETTATA PER BREVE TEMPO DI VITA, arrivata con pezzi mancanti e rovinati e pure rotta subito peccato non poterla riconsegnare e aver buttato 21 euro.

This cooler is very quiet and over the last couple weeks that I've been using it I have had no problems. I am using it with my i5 6600K and Z170 motherboard and plan to try overclocking in the future. The only problem was the first one I received had a damaged heat sink, and I had to pay the $20 in return shipping. The company supplying it (MemoryC) was very helpful in proving a smooth return and replacement. Something to be aware of is that the metal of the heat sink is not very robust and because of that may not be suited for more intensive cooling needs.

A most excellent cooling solution. The stock AMD fan is not man enough for the job. This beast however is. my vishera 6350 6 core unclocked sits at 25C all day under idle and never sees 40C under stress. Mind you I do have 7 fans in my case as well. But the environment works really well. I would however bring some points to your attention though. This is a tall cooler. make sure it will fit in your case, especially if you have fans mounted on the side panel. The rubbers that hold the fan on are very good but you don't get enough to mount a second fan if you wanted too so either some customisation or ordering them from somewhere will be necessary.Very pleased with this and totally recommend it.
