12V CPU Cooling Fan, Extruded Aluminum Heatsink CPU Cooler Hydraulic Bearing 2200RPM High Speed 7015 Silent Fan for

My 12 year old cooling fan died and the heat buildup fried my AMD Quad core 965 cpu. I upgraded to an AMD 6 core and used this fan to replace my old one. I installed the fan on my original heatsink with no problems or modifications. I did not use the low profile heatsink that came with the fan because the 6 core is a 125 watt CPU and my research indicated that the low profile heatsinks were good for 90 watt CPU's. I could not find any CPU wattage information for this unit. It used to make a lot of fan noise when I powered up because the fan automatically ran full speed until the motherboard controller slowed it down. I found a BIOS setting that eliminated that and the CPU normally runs between 26 to 28 degrees C and the fan is very quite.

You're getting what you pay for. Feels flimsy. Like I could easily bend the metal with my fingers, but when I attached it to the motherboard I was happy with it. It did come pre-thermal pasted which was strange. I read another review where they stated they didn't remove the old thermal paste. I guess they thought it was a used product which it isn't. Size wise it is pretty small. Like just double the squared size of the CPU, which if you're short on space is really nice. Had a heatsink once that was too big for the PC case. Modern PCs are damn near silent. Sound wise It's as loud as a 90s PC. Not that big of a deal.

My desktop computer didn't have an internal fan just the one on the CPU. I was having problems with it shutting down. So I thought it was a bad CPU fan which it was I replaced it and after a while of running my computer shut down again so when I went in there to check I found that the hard disk were really hot. So I got this cooling fan to put into the case. I mounted it underneath the hard disks and I've hadn't had that troublesome. It's quiet and it puts out a lot of air. And it keeps my heart just cool

The fan ran very slowly and never changed speeds. When I touched the fan blades the fan stopped and wouldn't restart automatically (weak motor). I've had cooling fans if you tried to touch the blades while running you'd lose a knuckle! I tried it on two motherboard to verify it wasn't a MB issue. I almost burnt up a CPU with this fan. Bottom line is I returned the fan because I could not trust it.

The heatsink was already coated with thermal paste, but it looked thin so I added an additional drop. Fan installed easy and plugged right in to the mobo. It was quiet, but I already have four fan in the case so there was no additional noise to be heard. Great for a simple computer, not overclocked.

I have an old, home-built computer that uses an older AMD processor. The original CPU fan had begun making an unacceptable level of noise. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a fan, but I did want to correct the noise. This fan was inexpensive and was touted as a silent fan, so I bought and installed it. Works just fine. Nice and quiet.

It’s nice and quiet and it was easy to install.

When I boot the computer, the fan is very noisy and takes a minute or so to reach full RPM. This is after the computer has been shut down for a few minutes.
