Caution -- Won't Fit All LGA775 Motherboards!

It looks like a good-quality, well-built cooler, and would have received 5 stars. BUT The fan is very large and doesn't clear the capacitors on my Asus P5W motherboard.

It didn't fit my motherboard's socket (Yes, I know. My fault). I am getting a new motherboard ordered to use it. I will update my review once I get it installed. I have high expectations so if there is any thing wrong... you'll know.

I haven't had any problems with this motherboard, but the SATA ports are covered by larger video cards. This is the only problem I've had, but it's a big problem.

I bought this memory to pair it with an ultra super evga 680i mobo,

to my dismay the memory didn't work with this motherboard, i had to buy a cheap ghetto memory to run this motherboard up,updated bios, did all the stuff that its said in the evga forum, and nope, nada, niente, nothing did not work with the dominators, its very said to buy this ultra sophisticated motherboard to simply get problems, incompatibilities, BSODs, bugs, bugs and more bugs, Nvidia and Evga had the buyers beta testing their crap mobo, what a shame, won't buy a nvida motherboard again!

I love Cooler Master products but this thing advertises AM4 compatibility, which is wasn't out of the box -- there are brackets kits available on CM website but not for this product because, again, it is allegedly compatible out of the box.  When I addressed them about it they were kind enough to offer me an opportunity to send this one in to get one that has out of the box AM4 compatibility -.-
Refund returned because it sounded a lot like shipping it back to them so that they could ship it back to me.
Mobo: ASUS Prime x370 Pro
CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
Just in case you're wondering, "Hey, maybe it was just user error.. maybe this guy has no clue how to align or install this thing.. maybe he's trying to rip off the back plate" -- just no (This is about my 15th build [not including part replace/swap/upgrades], started when I was 12 -- I'm now 33).  Believe me when I say this thing is not AM4 compatible with that mobo and cpu combo.

Came with the wrong sized mounting board(too small) for breadboard and arduino, instructions geared towards arduino uno despite me getting the arduino mega package

The dimensions of the screw holes are NOT correct at all, and it won't fit with any LGA motherboard. I tried it on an ASRock and on another Gigabyte mobo. I threw them! Useless!! Very bad product.

I got 3 different sets of this RAM and they all had problems with my motherboard. So if you want this interesting looking RAM, I would say check your mobo compatibility list first.

I bought it for my Asus Rampage V Anniversary Edition 10 motherboard last year.. waited a whole year for a patch or update to get it to working! Never Happened! Shame on you ASUS!

Make sure you DO NOT buy this for your freshly purchased Intel NUC. The Intel NUC ALREADY INCLUDES ONE OF THESE!

Too tall for my mini ITX build. Was returned.

I've now purchased 2 of these, from different sellers. The first one was completely dead on arrival. I returned that, and bought another one, which again would not boot. I called MSI support, and the guy I reached was a complete moron (Probably due to crappy training), and after looking up my specific motherboard, which has 8 ram slots, he tells me that my motherboard "can't have 8 slots of ram" and tells me I should only be using 1 slot. I hung up, and took it down to a PC repair shop, and they told me there was a loose grommet(sp?) on the back of the board, causing it to short circuit, and that one of my ram slots was defective. Now I can boot it up with 7 out of 8 slots in, but for this price it had better be working perfect. Now going through the return process yet again. I always held MSI in high regards, for not having crap products. the thought of having one DOA item form them blew my mind. but two? I'm quite disappointed. I'm going to assume it's just this specific motherboard, will be spending even more money to try out the godlike mobo.

Bought this to replace an old MB but the combination of the this Z97 and the i5 CPU needs a BIOS upgrade that I had to speak to an ASUS Tech to complete.  Be aware that the Intel Core i5 - 4690K processor LGA 1150 is not compatible out to the box.  Amazon had them listed together so I ordered them and had to go through gyrations with the ASUS people.  It now works, although.

Does not fit GTX780ti cards. High quality.

Description says it fits: LGA 775/115X(1150/1151/1155/1156), box an instructions says LGA 775/115X(1150/1155/1156).  It does not fit a Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 ATX motherboard.  End of story

Needed a replacement motherboard for my EVGA X58 FTW since 4 of my SATA ports failed and I am seeing I/O errors with the remaining ports. If you are looking for a replacement LGA-1366 GOOD LUCK Some problems I had with this:

When I received this mobo and installed it in my case, the bolts for my CPU cooler (Cooler Master V10) on the back are inaccessible. Had to take it back out and cut the hole in the back panel of the case larger. I thought these were standardized - why would you move where the CPU is seated?

The boot selection is incredibly frustrating. You choose a boot "order" but it only tries to boot the first device in the list. My Windows installation USB dongle is counted as a hard disk. So I can only pick one to boot and there is no boot selection dialog - you have to go into the bios settings every time. Any time I add or remove a device (including USB) it resets the boot selection order. So every time I add or remove a drive or USB and I have to go back into the bios settings to reset the order? This is ridiculous

It would not boot with my previous windows installation. It gets to the Windows loading screen and crashes and resets. This is fine - I'm assuming it's a driver problem or something. I manage to get Windows installed on a separate drive. I got the new Windows install booted and installed video drivers and then after a reboot it tells me there are no bootable devices.

So again, if you're looking for a replacement LGA-1366, Good Luck

Here is some help for those installing on an LGA 1366 board (like me using an i7-980x cpu).  The instructions are lacking for 1366 boards other than mentioning this cooler is compatible.

1st - use the standoffs that have the same size threads on each end.  The LGA 2011 standoffs are different in that regard.  No reference as to which to use for 1366 boards is made in the instructions.  I had to waste time googling this to make sure I wasn't missing parts or bought the wrong cooler.
2nd - once you thread the stand offs through the motherboard and into the backing plate, it is normal the the backing plate to NOT be pulled up tight against the backside of the motherboard.  This will happen later once you install the thumbscrews onto the top of the standoffs which is done when securing the top mounting bracket over the cooler base.
3rd - if you want to make cleaning dust off the radiator easier, try to install the fan so that it pulls air through it rather than push air into it.  Testing by many others has shown no performance difference.  If you use a "push" configuration, what you will find is dust getting trapped between the fan and radiator, many times requiring the removal of the fan just to clean everything thoroughly.  In a "pull" setup, dust lands on the radiator fins which act as a filter before dust  can get to the fan itself, making it easier to blow/vacuum dust off the fins.

Performance:  With lots of airflow in a modded case, this keeps my i7-980x overclocked to 4.0  under 50C during heavy loads.  I'm okay with that.  I'm a 4k video editor - not really a gamer.  I did not use the pre-applied thermal paste - I used Artic MX-4.  This cooler is nearly silent in operation - a welcome change from air cooling.
