Cooler Master HAF X, Asus P79 Deluxe, Intel i7-3930 (LGA2011). Any fitting issues? 2. What makes this product better than than Intel's $15 fan?

I have a HAF X case, it fits snug. This product is much much better than the intel 15 dollar fan that comes with the processor. It will reduce your temperatures by atleast 10 C with is a huge deal in maintaining your pc and keeping it in optimum condition.

Basic fan not up to very heavy gaming, searching for asteroids, folding proteins, or crunching for primes research, when overclocked heavily. A $29 CoolerMaster Hyper 212 will get you 3/4 of the way to water-cooling. That last 25% of high end air coolers is a rich field. This Noctua will better most and almost always will be in the top three coolers out there, on almost all tests. If not, question the methodology, or installation expertise, even with thermal paste. Learn about TCase temp v. core temp., and try the Hyper 212, if you are only getting started. If you need more, it will be a minor lost expenditure, then get one of the high-rated ones.

It fit mine after modifying my case, but I kept getting a blue screen error. Now it's just collecting dust. Stick with the AMD fan!

This cooler stands 6.5" off the mb. It does fit perfectly in the HAF 932 with plenty of room and 200mm fans. This case is a full 9" wide where the overseer is nearly the same at 8.7" I'd recommend you measure 6.5" off the face of the CPU to where the side fan is to be sure. But looking at the dimensions of your case I don't think you will have any issues.

Hello Friend, cannot say, I returned mine as it was faulty,their customer service were rude and agressive,so I bought an excellent cooler from Noctua.Would suggest you do likewise. They do a great range that will fit your case.

I am currently using the stock fan. At stock speeds my computer stays pretty cool, 15-20 C. When playing online games however, they go up to 40-45 which I guess isn't too bad. With higher settings on games/programs the fan then turns into something like a Bulldozer running over C4, extremely loud but does a pretty "Ok" job at keeping the CPU cool if it isn't put under anything over regular use stress. I would highly recommend getting a better fan if you have the money, but if not, you should be fine until you manage to get your hands on one.

Not sure what you mean exactly by "top fans" but this is very specifically a CPU cooler. Be sure you have plenty of clearance for the fan/radiator combination at the case edge. Clearance needed over the CPU is actually lower than most large CPU coolers. That said, it works well for me and its really quiet as compared to normal fin CPU coolers with fans. You will still need case fans to pull heat away from the GPU(s), hard drives, motherboard, etc. Also, take care with the install and apply fresh grease between the CPU and heat sink after removing the old grease. Best of luck.

Let me guess, you're choosing this cooler to maximize space right (htpc/mitx build)? If so, then I wouldn't recommend this fan as a replacement, since it's thicker compared to the slim type stock fan on the Cooler Master GeminII. Better be safe than sorry, I'd go for a slim fan than this if you're planning to put it on the GeminII as a replacement. One of the brands I'd recommend would be Scythe.

No room for a fan from what I remember. Stick with a low TDP Haswell/Ivy Bridge CPU and it will be fine.

The included fan is a 3-pin. And it is quite loud. I replaced it with a 4-pin pwm (with equivalent size and air flow) from Cooler Master. It is much quiter, but this cooler only performs OK for the amount of money I spent in total. Luckily that build will not be overclocked, and I can be happy with the definite improvement over the stock part.It will cool your fx-8350 according to the specs on the box, but I would not use this on a high performance CPU like yours over something like the CM Hyper 212 unless your case cannot fit a tall heatsink.

The bottom one may not be usable depending on the length of your power supply. I was not able to get a fan to fit because the cables coming from mine were just too close. I do have 4 fans in use though, along with the CPU fan and that is plenty in my opinion. Stock fans are usable, but average at best. I moved them to the front and side and have high end 120mm in the back and top. Airflow is excellent in my opinion. I do really like this case due to the price and features.

Make sure that there is a good airflow. I installed an extra fan in the side of my PC and so far its good. Cases with PSU on the bottom seem to have more issues with overheating if psu is blowing inside

nooooo way, the standard cooling barley covers the cpu without overclocking. And remeber, when you start changing your processor's settings you invalidating the warritny. The fans they provide really arent engineered to maintain that sort of heat. However, you can purchase a nice cheap cooler master aftermarket fan like i did. It cost me 15 bucks and is actually better than watercooling which can be coslty to obtain and costly to clean up if you screw it up

I rarely find a cooler under $50 for my 17"laptop that fits well. It almost always hangs over. However, considering you only need to cool half of the area of the laptop (hard drive and cpu, mostly), I don't think a full 17" cooler is necessary. As far as this one goes? It's has a 200mm fan - the biggest I've seen in a cooler for this price. 200mm fans are the ones they use in the gaming coolers, so I think this would work. I'm going to get it for my 17", and I'll post a review when I hook it up.

no fan is included whatsoever... and the fan that may fit is one of those not so available 50mm (10-15 mm thick). Those may become quite noisy! Considering this case has many vent holes you may want to skip that fan adventure and just settle for a good low profile (43mm high or less) CPU cooler, as most Intel stock coolers a re a few mm too tall for this case and AMD stock coolers are way too tall. another advise: I have not succeeded to run any AMD CPU in this case cool enough... all AMD CPUs (AM2.AM3,FM1, FM2) dissipate much heat, thus requiring a CPU cooler that is too large to fit in this case... and I did try quite a few. I have assembled five computers in an AM350 case, all with socket 755, 1155 and 1150. They all work fine without an added video card (as there is no space for such in this case)

I stuck with the stock fans and they've worked for me - quiet, no overheating. That said, I should mention that I'm not overclocking anything in this build and did the best I could to keep wires out of the airflow channels (cable management is still a challenge in this form factor, but if you're doing it for cooling and don't care what things look like once the case is closed, you're fine). I'm running an i5 4670K with stock heat sink/fan, Corsair Vengeance RAM, 2 x 2TB hard drives.

You have several options for cooling, it can be water or air right through the hooks, or just using fans. You choose the only thing I can say is that this MoBo is excellent. If you use water cooling is recommended that you have a large enough case, check the cooler master are very good. Sorry for the delay in my response

It does include a stock intel fan/heatsink. The stock cooling solution is not fancy, but particularly for the i7-4770S (65W SKU), it seems to be perfectly adequate. It's much better than Intel stock heatsinks were back in the P4 days, and is almost silent, even under load. That will obviously depend on ambient temperatures and what else is going on in your machine (and just how silent you consider "silent"), so I'm not saying that you will never want some upgraded cooling solution, but I'd say that the stock cooler is likely to be the right choice for the majority of people.
