Computer Monitor Cooler

Love the computer so far but never got the monitor.

This is the best purchase that I have made. Before I received this item, I would use my laptop, and it would be burning hot, but since using this item, my computer has never been cooler.

I purchased this case because of how it looks. When I started my transfer of my computer from my old case (a Cooler Master 692 Advanced) I found that assembling it in this case to be much easier. Cooling is superior and adding AIOs much easier. Overall a great case.

I rebuilt my wife's computer with MB, CPU and Memory all new. Once the CPU installed and cooler in place it was soon time to try it. It booted immediately screen not the best on pixels. A few minor points in BIOS and the next boot up perfect. Can't beat a good price, a good delivery and no damage or flaws from shipping and handling.

I installed this on a new B550 MB, and works like a charm. It came with a nice looking OEM cooler, which is probably adequate, but I used an aftermarket cooler because the OEM one was not nerdy enough for me. The integrated graphics performs well. Preforms WAY better than the older dedicated GTX1080 card I was using. Runs my 4K monitor at its native resolution without an issue. Able to get very satisfactory performance from the few games I use, at 2K resolution. It has been years since I have used a CPU with onboard graphics, and I was leery to go with this APU. During my research, I read that this is the fastest integrated graphics ever, And thus far I can not argue that it is not. I will probably add a dedicated GPU at some point when the crypto nerds stop messing up the market, but until then this APU makes for a very serviceable computer, and it will probably be OK for most games up to all but the highest level. It allows for you to bide your time until we don't have to pay $3000 for a $600 GPU. I am fully satisfied with this APU and my new computer, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new computer in this current market. B&H shipping was excellent as always and the Payboo tax discount made the price unbeatable.

I have a mac mini which runs hot enough toast a sandwich. An SSD drive didn't really help it run cooler. So I left the fan uninstalled with the bottom of the computer open, and put the computer on the thermal take cooler. Now it is cool to the touch all the time even when the room is in the 90's. From having a slow mostly useless computer which I was looking to replace, I now have a fast machine that runs cool, using most of the Adobe Suite, spreadsheets and browser, often simultaneously. The cooler is quiet, has enough room to put an external drive on it alongside the computer.

I was nagged for this review, which I feel is a despicable practice that needs to end. Making it even worse is I haven't even used the SSD or cooler yet (and, if I'm lucky, I never will). I bought this one for use as a spare SSD so I could quickly replace one of the ones I already have in use if one should ever fail. I bought the combo because it was the same price as the SSD only. However, the heatsink I'm using already is not likely to ever fail. I have five identical SSDs and one cooler already in use so I'm basing this review off of them. So far, they have been working well. I use them primarily for data storage: four in a desktop computer and one in a laptop. In both computers, one of the drives in each also serves as a boot partition. For booting and running a computer from, they run as fast, if not faster, than the Samsung 970 Pros they replace which is remarkable considering that the Sabrents are TLC and the Samsungs are MLC. Write life for TLC drives are generally around half that of equally sized MLC drives but are still high enough to make it unlikely for anyone to exhaust the write life before replacing the drives for newer technology. The heatsink appears to cool better than the one used on the motherboard of my desktop computer. It just barely clears the graphics card (your mileage may vary).

The cooler does a great job on my MacBook Pro during audio Recording and Mixing/Mastring sessions. It keeps the computer's built in fan from constantly maxing out. The Belkin single fan cooler I used before getting this model couldn't do this. I also like the adjustable front legs and adjustable stops for the near edge of the computer. My MacBook Pro is 15.4 model and there's plenty of room for a 17 model. I also appreciate the 2 USB ports provided...

Edit: I've since noticed that the heatsink in this package is a newer version that has a different mounting screw arrangement which is absolutely brilliant! Unlike the older version I'm still using, the mounting screw is captive so it can't get dropped and lost. It's also longer and the screw head is located in a recess in the top of the heatsink, making it much, much easier to guide the tip of a screwdriver onto the screw, even if you don't have a clear view of it. If buying the heat sink separately, be sure to get the SB-HTSP version.

It's quite useful. Attached it to computer and monitor and it worked.
