efficient and quiet

I bought this ventirad for my brother's gaming computer who was using the original intel ventirad, the difference is remarkable both in cooling and sound the cooling went from 45° idle to 35° and from 78° under load to 56°. and from 78° under load to 56° and this in a total silence the whole on intel core i5 3570K clocked at 4,2Ghz I can say that the quality/price level is exceptional just one thing to do before mounting the ventirad, it is necessary to think of connecting the fan in first if not it is a little galère to connect it by after because the connection this finds hidden by the radiator

does not fit on socket AM4

Skip the AMD AM4 socket. The metal bar that connects this fan to the motherboard is missing at least a good centimetre... and there are no other parts included to adapt the system.

        Compliant

        First of all, the delivery: fast, with very good order tracking. As for the product, my RYZEN 5-5600 only heats up in "extreme" circumstances. For everyday tasks, the fan is almost inaudible.
        Very satisfied.

        Good for a small PC case

        I've taken this over-sized fan for the processor on which it's installed, but it's for a project, as it's a case with very little space.

        CLEAR

        as usual nothing to report with LDLC.
        I would order from them again with my eyes closed.

        I recommend

        Quiet and efficient

        The photo is misleading, though, because the fan is quite large.
        There's nothing to say, the processor doesn't heat up and doesn't slow down during heavy calculations.

        Very good product that I recommend. I would have liked to have received the whole order in several shipments. A single shipment would have been appreciated.

        Check your motherboard layout on AMD

        It cools perfectly, but on AMD sockets and some motherboards, especially Asus, the radiator runs into the radiators of the CPU modules and the first row of RAM, so be careful.

        Good but not great

        The product is very well made. All the materials supplied are of good quality. It looks quiet and dissipates heat well.
        BUT :
        - The assembly absolutely requires disassembling and reassembling your motherboard.
        - The manual is very poorly written: In English or German, no French. The part that presents the different elements is on the back of the assembly instructions, forcing you to go back and forth, lose your page etc...
        - the rare photos are in black and white.
        - The assembly of the radiator is not too complicated, but plan to take your time, to be well installed, to have good tools and not to be disturbed. And if you have an Intel rather than an AMD, the procedure is not the same.
        - Mounting the fan on the heatsink is a terrible job, it's the step that can screw up everything.
        On the plus side, the supplies for AMD and Intel are in separate and well identified bags. I appreciate this.

        Perfect for what I do with it

        Very good quality in both manufacture and finish, compact and very easy to install in configurations where space is a dilemma.
        To be seen in time and in intensive use.

        Pay attention to the minimum height!

        Excellent quality as usual with BeQuiet, but beware of the low height of the heatsink in relation to the motherboard: the heatsink touches the memory sticks. I had to trim some of the radiator fins (4 mm high) with a Dremel to mount my 4 memory sticks. Otherwise perfect material and a deafening silence! LOL

        Perfect

        Fan mounted in my NAS (so "small" configuration). I put it in place of another be quiet! fan that took up too much space.

        It's really great! It's sized to fit right over the RAM bars. Great!

        The only "downside" is that I have a RAM strip that burned out and I had to take out the fan to get the strip out... After that, it's my first RAM strip that burns out. The fault of bad luck...

        I'm not sure what to do with it, but it's a good idea to take into account the size and organization of your system. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one.

        Be Quiet! Quality Mini version

        To put on an amd fx6300 motherboard ASrock 970M pro3 in micro ATX the whole in a Cooler Master silencio case. The goal is of course to replace the horrible and inefficient original ventirad while remaining in a space saving and silent.

        The result is simple: no more noise and a temperature that goes from 60° in idle to 30° and does not exceed 45° in game.

        Beware however, the assembly in AM3+ requires a little dexterity and fine fingers but the whole thing holds perfectly!
        If you want to place it on top of the bars, they must be low profile!

        Very good. However, there is a small downside...

        Works perfectly, I bought it as a replacement for the old Intel base cooling unit that came with my old i7 950. Mounted on a Gigabyte UX58 CM, all in a medium tower ATX chassis from LDLC: just the right dimensions.

        Very quiet, and 20°C less on the CPU. For the price, nothing to complain about.

        Be careful when assembling it (instructions not clear and very basic): I had to buy 4mm washers to be able to screw the mounting bridge on the spacers because the bridge was too high compared to them. Not obvious at all at first sight, and even rather curious to have been forced to do it. So I remove one star.

        Nice But ....

        it's nice, but you need to have an engineering degree ....
        No shit, disassemble twice because the Silverstone rack falls right on the rad without the venti ......
        the assembly is hard on AM4, fear of crushing the cpu ....
        For the staples you have to guess where to put them on the venti, especially choose the right holes...not indicated on the pseudo tech file .... - 1 star for this
        I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that.

        Works very well but ....

        Very quiet, certainly efficient, but if it's hard to tell after a day, but complicated to assemble (screws not easily accessible, difficult to balance the mounting bar)

        Good product, bulky

        This fan does its job for an ITX configuration (i.e. small case). It is indeed low but is on the other hand wide, be careful where you install it so as not to block any ports (ITX gamer configuration, be careful with the PCI port!)

        huge!

        literally and figuratively, in an obsidian 250D the beast takes up a hell of a lot of space... but the result is there:

        AMD a10 7700k -> original ventirad: 60° at rest
        -> Shadow rock LP : 34° at rest

        mounted with the thermal pad replaced by ALASKA AK-455-5G

        I would have taken off half a star for the space the thing takes up, but working on m-ITX you can't really complain given the result.

        But don't look for it, dismantle your CM for installation.

        Perfect!

        Easy to install and super efficient, I recommend it for the price.
        For an Intel processor it's more than enough (I have an i7). No need for watercooling (unless you want to look good)

        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a laptop with a lot of space on it, but it's a good idea to have a laptop with a lot of space on it.)

        Efficient!

        I mounted this fan on an i7 4790k and the thing does its job. In stress test or in 100% use with recent and very greedy games, the proco does not exceed 65°... all this, without the volume of the fan being really perceptible. The only drawback for me is that the assembly is tedious! The instructions are not very clear, but you just have to read them and do it quietly. Removing the motherboard would make things easier. This is not what I did and it took me... more than an hour to assemble this fan. In terms of space, mounted in a Node 804, it's perfect!

        Expensive but excellent

        Impeccable: 15 minutes of assembly without backplate (AMD socket). Quiet as can be, even at full power: but anyway it's never at full power to cool my phenom965 125W which encodes my videos for several hours sometimes.
        So it deserves the 50€ investment.
        At a price of 39.90€ I would have given it 5 stars.

        Good product

        It does its job very well, it is super quiet, more so than the fans that are used for it (Noctua Industrial), quite imposing, not like the picture but it is.

        Be Quiet Always top notch my 2nd product from them and I'm very happy with it.

        I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the price.

        Low noise and space requirements

        This low profile cooler is well thought out because it allows (in my case: Intel proco and Asus H81M-plus CM) to use standard profile heat sinks.
        Indeed, as the heatsink is eccentric, you only have to turn it 180° to put the bars next to the ventirad instead of under it.
        The cooling is not affected and access to the bars is possible without having to dismantle the ventirad, life is good.

        A thin film of thermal paste is already applied to the proco port and it does its job well, to be seen over time but in principle it is of good quality.

        For the moment, no negative point to deplore except that the air flow of the tower should be slightly disturbed.
        For the moment it has no impact on the performances by rather low ambient temperatures but I ask to see the behavior by strong heat... wait & see!


        Once again, thank you to the LDLC team for your seriousness!

        Watch out for the motherboard!!!

        Going back to the title, if your motherboard has heat sinks next to the processor socket, you may need to disassemble your motherboard to be more comfortable.

        I had quite a bit of trouble mounting the heatsink, it's a shame that the space above the heatsink wasn't wider to fit the screws.

        Apart from that it is great!

        "Please note, I have OC'd my 2500k at 4.4Ghz and 1.34v so the temperatures are higher than they would be with a normally clocked processor."

        This is a replacement for the original fridge on my I5 2500K.
        It's Total contrast!!!

        I run at 38°C MAX in normal use and 67°C MAX after 1H under OCCT.

        Very quiet, it's a good investment in terms of performance and price.

        I recommend it ! :)
