Pros: I only bought it for the heat sink, but I thought, "hey! I can wire that fan to cool my hard drive!"See cons.
Cons: I was wrong. I was DEAD wrong. when I hook it up to the required Voltage I can't even feel air coming out the other end! this fan...(as of all the others I bought besides the 7CM ones) doesnt move ANY air at ALL.But luckily the old fan to the computer I am converting into a Media center still works. since I was just buying this thing for the heat sink.
Other Thoughts: I already knew the fan was going to be bad. but I was surprised when I hooked it up and I didn't feel anything coming out.... (ok, a SLIGHT breeze, and boy, I mean slight.)
Bottomline: buy it for the heat sink. replace the fan with a 7CM one from DX. it will move alot more air.
Pros: Cheap effective solution to not being able to find Socket A heatsinks anymore.
Cons: The heatsink is rather small. This heatsink probably isnt a good idea if you are planning on putting it on anything higher than a 2100+ or something. Even then temperatures are going to be high. But since Socket A can take 100C and keep on chugging, this isnt really a problem.
Other Thoughts: This for sure isnt an enthusiast heatsink... the only good thing about it is that it's better than nothing and will get you up and running.
Bottomline: If you need a cheap heatsink for an old rig, just to get someone up and running, this is a good solution.
