Gravity i2 95W Intel LGA 1200/1156/1155/1150/1151 92mm CPU Cooler CLP0556-D, Compatible with Desktop

I've built about 80-100 computers in the last 30 years. I've used dozens of different air coolers over stock. With the exception of some high performance zalmans in Oc'd computers, I have to rate this as exceptional for the cost and performance of an air cooler. I mean I have put in $60-$80 air coolers for pretty typical computers that were only ok, heavy and loud. I did not over burden this cooler by overclocking. But seriously, $9, you wouldn't be looking here - but if your are in between - I'd buy it again with zero reservations. If you want even more quiet buy an adapter to reduce voltage for a couple dollars. I only bought this one because I bought a i9700k without a cooler and a Corsair H100i pro radiator cooler. The Corsair was not installing properly to the point I was ready to return it. I bought the Thermaltake cooler as a stop gap to get the computer running, loaded and then troubleshoot the Corsair. I think it took me only a few minutes from unboxing to booting. I was nervous and monitored temps in bios, they were in low 30's degC. I had the case open in my face and it was a bit louder (but not bad) than my silent case fans so I installed an adapter to drop voltage to 7V to lower noise while I was working on software. The temps never rose even with the reduced fan speed and now really quiet cooler. I can't say how impressed i am with a cooler that costs so little, is of high quality and is really pretty quiet. For me it was a stop gap until I go my Corsair water system running ( I did and well it's amazing but still) I'd never buy a stock intel cooler again. I did an i3 HTPC build not long ago and figured the stock would be good enough. Well, I'm pulling the stock cooler and replacing with this because I KNOW it will out perform it for the same sound level.

Bought this as an upgrade for my travel PC since I just upgraded the CPU from i5-6402P to i7-6700K, and the i5 was previously cooled by a stock Intel passive cooler. Since the 6700K is rated for 95W TDP and the stock Intel cooler is only rated for 65W TDP, I went with this cooler as a fairly priced option that met my TDP requirement. I installed this yesterday and I'm seeing honestly really good temps for such a simple air cooler. On basically idle (Discord + Steam + MSI Afterburner open), I am averaging around 29-30C. I played approximately 3 straight hours of Battlefield 1 (very CPU-intensive game) on 1080P with all "Ultra" settings + DX12 disabled, and I never saw my CPU temperature reach above 65C. I think is great value and performance for a $13 air cooler operating almost at its rated TDP (91W CPU v. 95W cooler). Please note my temps are from an open air PC build and I removed the pre-applied thermal paste from the Thermaltake Gravity i2, which was replaced with Thermalright TF9 paste. *According to BIOS, the fan is spinning from 1980-2000 RPM. *There is pre-applied thermal paste

If you need a great, basic cooler for your Intel chip that’s slightly better than the default cooler, look no further! Make sure you check to ensure your motherboard/processor are < 95W (so most of the relevant intel chips) and are one of the compatible sockets (again, most recent sockets) - once you do that, this CPU cooler is easy to install (install the backplate then screw in the 4 screws and plug in the fan header. Done. Couple of quick notes - first, this does use a backplate (unlike the push-pin based default included cooler) which means you’ll need to access the back of your motherboard. Not an issue if you’re installing a new motherboard in a new case, but if you’re replacing an existing cooler in a complete build, you may have to remove the motherboard if you don’t have access to the back of the board in the case. I actually like this as the install is much more secure that the push pins - and you know you have the right tension - but it is something to be aware of. Second, this does have pre-applied thermal paste which makes it easy to use. The thermal paste seems to be of reasonable quality and is well applied - I used it as is for the initial install, but ended up moving the chip to new board and having to use my own. Expected and no issues - but if you’re looking for a bit more performance, you might want to think about changing the paste. If you’re running stock clocks and not running at max all the time, the included paste should be just fine. Third and final consideration - this is not a cooler for overclockers. It can probably handle a minimal overclock - but it’s really designed to be cool and reasonably quiet at stock settings, voltages and the like and it does well at that. With those considerations out of the way, if you have a compatible chip and don’t mind the above caveats, this is a great cooler and highly recommend!

With this, my CPU is ~9° C cooler vs. the stock heatsink/fan. Background: I reinstalled the stock, 65W heatsink/fan after installing a 95W TPD CPU and temps rose to 88° C during stress tests - not too crazy. After installing this Thermaltake unit, the highest temp I've seen is 79°C. It doesn't seem to be any louder than the stock unit even though the fan spins faster; ~1,500RPM at idle vs ~1,000 RPM for the old one. Decent, cheap insurance!

Easy to install and cools very well processors up to 95W. Pretty quiet as well.

Tengo este disipador desde hace unas semanas montado en un i7-2600, las temperaturas comparadas con el de stock realmente no han mejorado mucho, siguen siendo las mismas cuando esta en reposo pero cuando le meto un poco de estres tarda mas en llegar a su punto mas caliente. Aqui el detalle por el que le doy las 5 estrellas es por la cuestion del sonido, el disipador de stock hacia mucho ruido cuando tenia una alta carga de trabajo y este thermaltake no hace absolutamente nada de ruido manteniendo la misma eficiencia, un punto a considerar si quieres tu setup lo mas silencioso posible, ademas de el costo (Que realmente es muy bueno) y ni hablar de los materiales y acabado, es elegante, bueno y eficiente, no le hace falta el rgb para verse bien. El unico pero que le puedes poner es que no es PWM, pero con los resultados que te da, no te importara mucho. Si tu procesador tiene un TDP menor a 95w, es una opcion que debes considerar, creo yo que es el mejor costo-beneficio.

純正のCPU冷却ファンを使っていましたが、7年間メンテナンスしていなかったために、手ごろなサードパーティー性の本製品を購入しました。交換はソケットナンバーを間違えないようにセレクトし簡単にできました。しかし、発送時についたらしい箱の傷が気になり取付に取り掛かったところで、ソケットピン4本のうち1本が曲がっていたのでペンチで修正して使いました。冷却性能はファンの音がうるさい分効果がありそうですが、間違いなく音は大きくなったので、純正の音の大きさを知っている方、または静かなファンを求めている方にはお勧めできません。

Good.
