Installation
The mounting kit for this cooler is very sparse, as was shown on the packaging section. It consists of four small screws with rubber washers to prevent damage to the motherboard. As shown on the previous page. The ITX30 already has the mounting points for the cooler which will fit sockets 1156, 1155 and 1150. As you can see below, this is how it is attached to the board. Each of the four screws goes straight into the coolers and then tightens against the washers.
Here is a picture of the cooler mounted in place. It is quite a snug fit between the heatsink on the left hand side and the RAM slots on the right hand side but there is enough room not to foul the slots. The cooler is also about the same size in height as the heatsink on the motherboard.
Now that you have had a good look at the cooler and how it’s fitted to the motherboard let’s see how it performs with i7 4770k in the benchmarks. Â

After all, what are the cooling values? Where are the test charts? Where are the graphs of the comparative tests and why is it not compared with the NH L9i – Noctua 38mm?
Do you know what I think? You didn’t even try the cooler, just took it in your hand and wrote some shit for stupid people.
