AkasaLo-Noise Intel® LGA1700 Cooler | Designed for Intel® Core™ processors up to 77W TDP | Heatsink with Aluminium Core | 95mm PWM Fan | Tool Free Push-pin Design | AK-CC6603EP01

My 11 year old Core 2 Duo E8400 based system has been running quite loud for a while now. A recent spate of hot weather only made the irritating whine of the CPU fan even more noticeable. Things seem to have gotten worse slowly over the years and I've since found out that the thermal paste that is used as a thermal transfer medium between the cooler and CPU degrades over time, thus reducing the efficiency of the cooler. I had noticed that even mundane tasks would have the CPU cooler fan spin up to over 2,000 rpm on the Intel stock cooler that came with the CPU.So, I purchased some expensive thermal paste and decided to remove the cooler and clean everything and reapply new thermal paste. When I removed the cooler, I was shocked as there was literally no paste at all! The surface of the coolers cold plate that makes contact with the CPU was shiny and smooth, no hint of paste at all! Similarly, the CPU was almost spotless. Evidentially, over the 11 years of almost daily use, the thermal paste that was pre-applied on the Intel stock CPU cooler had crumbled to dust. No wonder my CPU cooler fan was going mad.I reapplied a dab of new thermal paste onto the cooler as this was easier to do and then set about trying to remount said cooler. One thing I've learned, is that used Intel coolers don't remount that well. In two such cases I've experienced, the push pins have had one of the two splayed pins break off. Anyway, I needed a cheap replacement. I didn't want to spend any real money on something that was only going to be needed for perhaps another month or so. I am planning to gut this machine and replace the internals with an all new system. In the meantime, I still need this machine so did a quick search on Amazon and found a really inexpensive cooler from AKASA compatible with my ancient socket 775 CPU.This cooler came with thermal paste pre-applied, so no fiddling or expensive thermal paste required. After cleaning off the CPU once more, I mounted this cooler flawlessly, all four push pins clicking firmly into place. Well ... what a difference! At idle, my CPU now runs at just 29C and ripping a DVD while listening to an audio book saw peak temps at 41C. This is in contrast with the 90C I had before and idle temps of 42!At under £7 this AKASA cooler cannot be beat. Heck! I spent more on a 8 gramme tube of thermal paste for my old cooler! The value for money for this thing is incredible. Yes, it's a basic cooler, but it does its job and does it quietly and effectively, so why spend more?Suffice it to say, I am impressed with this cooler from AKASA. The old adage "You pay for what you get." isn't always an absolute.This inexpensive product from AKASA has saved my bacon. Well done to AKASA for producing this. It works well, is quiet and at an unbeatable price.The bottom line; Don't spend more on a cooler unless you have to.

Brought to replace a failed CPU fan on a 10th gen i3.Comes with thermal paste applied to the heatsink, fits the mounts perfectly and has maintained a secure connection to the CPU and managed the heat dissipation effectively as expected. No mote problems. Great price, great product.

Bought as a replacement for the original fan in our 6+ year old Intel Tower system.The item is really cheap, compared to other Heatsink units but deserves the good performance reviews. It also arrived on time, well packaged.The only downside I found is that due to the age of the PC casing and fittings, the Intel Easy Connectors did not connect to the older spring and screw connection system. Also, the new connecting feet were larger, meaning that a bit of DIY was needed.As I am a novice, and did not fancy dismantling the whole thing to remove the screw connectors in the motherboard, I removed the plastic connectors (easy to do with a pair of wire cutters, or, in my case a pair of pet nail clippers) and then used wire cutters to trim the metal feet on one of the corners.Once cut to size, the unit was easy to connect and the original screw and springs have been reused to secure into place. The adhesive is effective and once reassembled, the Tower is now working perfectly. The fan is quiet and effective. Very happy with this purchase!

I only ever write reviews if something really impresses me.- Installation took <5 mins, for context I have NO idea about computers, and am pretty scared when opening one up!- Taking out my old installed, default fan was hassle that took about 20 mins, and was needlessly complicated- Simple, but firm, 'click' into place attachmentNow, I have a question that I hope someone can answer: My FPS playing Flight Simulator (main use for my PC) went from average 10 fps to 25. It feels like a BRAND NEW GAME. This happened right after instillation, so could the CPU cooling affect performance like this?For so little money this thing has done wonders. I have to check if its actually on - it's so quiet!

It is a good cooler if you consider the purpose for it. Gets the job done keeping the CPU cold. But it comes at a cost. I am not talking financial cost, when the CPU is in use, this thing is very loud. I used computers for more the 20 years, my first machine was a 486, but never heard such an loud CPU fan.If you have the machine in the same room , then do yourself an favor and look for something else

Always loved Akasa fans. The first PC builds I did used Akasa amber fans and they've been some of my favourite and a solid cooling solution for me ever since.Putting together a budget NAS build I wanted a cheap but reliable and quality CPU cooler. Initially looking at Arctic offerings also on Amazon, I wasn't particularly happy with what was on offer. As soon as I came across this though I was sold immediately.The cooler's been performing excellently in the on 24/7 NAS. I even used the pre-applied thermal paste for the first time ever and it's not disappointed.It's quiet at idle and under load PWM spins the fan up to tackle the increased temp and it doesn't get too much louder.

Ich nutze den Kühler für einen Intel I5-13500. Der Kühler ist sehr leise und kühlt gut. Schnelle Montage.

Ben fatto e montaggio semplice ma ventola rumorosa, probabilmente il mio pc non controlla la velocità e quindi gira al massimo. Sostituita con un'altra ventola a 3 pin che è compatibile con l'attacco a 4 pin.

No lleva tornillos, lleva unos anclajes y en segun que placas (Dell por ejemplo) son demasiado anchos por lo que no entran y no se puede acoplar.

ventilateur pour processeur s'installe facilement le dissipateur est de bonne taille et tout marche à la perfection.Il y as déjà une couche de pâte thermique et les fixations (qui cassent facilement quand on le démonte) sont indépendantes donc si ça casse on peut les remplacer facilement pas besoin de changer tt l'ensemble.Fonctionne parfaitement avec un Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 par contre le ventilateur est un peut bruyant mais rapport qualité/prix excellent

In einem Verkaufskarton kam der frisch erworbene "Akasa Kupferkern Kühler für Intel® LGA1700, 90mm PWM Lüfter für Core™ i9 Prozessoren bis zu 125 W TDP, Kühlkörper mit Kupferkern, Doppelkugellager, AK-CC6606BP01" nach Hause.Eingebaut wurde er in einen Rechner mit ASUS Prime Z690-P WIFi D4 Hauptplatine und Intel® Core™ i5-12600K der 12. Generation.Da die Lüfterhalterung für die beiden Prozessorsockel LGA1200 und LGA1700 ausgelegt ist müssen die vier seitlichen Metallstreben auseinander gespreizt werden um in den LGA1700 zu passen. Eine ausführliche Beschreibung, in englischer Sprache, für diesen Montageschritt liegt der Lieferung des Kühlers bei.Allein gestaltet sich die Montage schwierig, weil eine, in einer der vier vorhandenen LGA1700 Bohrungen, eingerasteter Metallstrebe leicht aus der Position rutscht sobald die Strebe quer gegenüber eingefügt werden soll.Hier hat man eine halbe Stunde damit verbracht die Halterungen ordnungsgemäß zu befestigen. Anschließend wurde die Hauptplatine in ein Standrechnergehäuse eingebaut und verschraubt.Als das Gehäuse aus liegender Postion hochkant aufgestellt wurde rutschte zwei der Streben der Lüfterhalterung aus ihren Positionen und blieben auf halber Strecke zwischen den LGA1200 und LGA1700 Führungen stecken.Somit sitzt die Halterung nicht wie von Akasa vorgeschrieben.Trotzdem arbeitet der Kühler, der auf der Prozessorseite ein Wärmeableitmatte hat, problemlos, und hält den Prozessor auch unter Höchstlastbetrieb kühl.Wegen der frickeligen Konstruktion der Metallstreben und dem Spreizen per Hand gibt es Abzug in der Einschätzung.Für den damals aufgerufenen Preis in Höhe von 34,96 kann man mit diesem Manko leben, obwohl Akasa hier nachbessern sollte.
