This CPU cooler comfortably keeps my Intel i5-2400 between low thirties and mid-forties (degrees Celsius) while remaining practically inaudible. And that’s with the pre-applied thermal paste. I am very pleased with the purchase.

Just finished installing this product. Very quiet, which is what was desired, and with a small decrease in temperatures.

One issue for me with installation was the presence of the original heatsink back plate which is installed underneath the motherboard. Its purpose is to support the weight of the heatsink without putting any strain on the motherboard PCB. The fittings that came with the cooler don't fit into the screw holes for the back plate so you may need to source appropriate screws to install this cooler (a slight hassle for me but the two AMD screws that came with the kit worked fine so I only needed to find two more screws). Be warned that on the Internet you may be advised to lever the back plate off with a hair dryer and a screw driver --- I think that you would likely damage your mother board.

I bought this to replace the stock CPU cooler that came with my PC. What a difference! Runs cooler, and makes far less noise while doing it. It does take up a lot of room, think of a big cube sitting over the top of your CPU. But it's so quiet, I had to shine a torch through one of the air vents to see if the fan was turning! Definitely a good bit of equipment, if your PC is too noisy this is the first thing I would install.

Was desperate for a quiet fan as my old Intel D34223-002 was so loud the noise had become unbearable. Emailed Andy at Quiet PC and got a reply within a couple of hours. Went with his recommendation for the A/C Freezer 7 Pro Rev2 and it arrived within 2 days.

Even for a complete novice at computer component swapping, fitting was reasonably straightforward (onto an Intel 775 socket) though the instructions are in pictures only. Would have benefited from written instructions also.

The fan comes complete with pre-applied paste, though I did also order some Arctic Silver thermal paste after reading reviews and used that instead (after cleaning paste from cpu and new fan with Arcticlean).

End result: noise has been dramatically reduced. Fan speed has dropped from 2100 to 1500rpm. Cpu temperature has dropped from a 47 to 44 with other temps dropping by a similar amount.

Could have purchased it cheaper elsewhere, but good customer service means Quiet PC gets my business.

Very cheap and effective compared to other coolers, but the installation is a bit of a pain. The grommets and wedges that need to be pushed through the motherboard are small and take a large amount of force, and I wasn't exactly comfortable with screwing the heatsink onto the bracket/cpu - I just can't tell if I was overloading the cpu or it was the bracket making the creaking sounds...

But after installation it works fine. I'm still waiting for the MX-2 paste to 'bed' in, but on first use my temp sat at 44 degrees for an i5-750 at full load...

I can't comment on the noise as its drowned out by a GTS250 at the moment ;)

Silence ! at last! Bit of a tight fit against my memory.

I bought this cooler because my CPU would maintain temperatures of up to 100 degrees while playing games, or watching movies - this would obviously lead to a shut down, and roughly 5 minutes of blind rage. This WAS with a stock cooler and stock paste, but still, something drastic needed to be done.

I installed this cooler about an hour ago, and already I've noticed a difference of about 20 degrees idle, and when I play games it will never stray above 50, even after hours. Amazing value, easy (enough) to install and effective. Haven't got a bad word to say about it, highly recommended.

I'd also like to thank Quietpc, order was placed on Friday, it arrived on Monday - I have another order with another (anonymous :p) website for a MUCH smaller package and it has yet to arrive - 10 days after the order was placed. It's always good to see a company that actually delivers, in both senses of the word. Thanks, and I'll be shopping here again.

Just like is younger brother (rev.1) this cooler is awesome... it reduced temps by 12c with stock thermal paste and is DEAD silent... you can over-clock with this beast - I didn't even use my Artic5 Silver Paste either which would have brought temps down another 4-5c... didn't need too...

for under £20 this is a must... it IS a large HSF and should only be used in a decent sized case (mATX / ATX / MidATX) not for small mediacenters...

this is the cheapest fan you can get that does the job 100% (SILENT / COOLER), other slightly cheaper models just don't cut the mustard with silence.
