What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The title lists Intel LGA115X while the detailed socket list names LGA1150, 1151, 1155 and 1156. Dimensions also vary: the listing gives 277 × 120 × 52 mm including fans, but describes the heatsink itself as 277 × 120 × 27 mm. Confirm radiator clearance and socket support for your exact board before buying. Fan and pump noise figures are presented as manufacturer claims, not independent measurements.

The supplied aggregate ratings lean positive, with five- and four-star categories represented. The sample is small and provides no written feedback, so it cannot establish specific strengths or concerns about noise, installation or cooling. For buyers, the listed socket compatibility and case fit are more actionable checks than the rating alone.
