Review: The best fan for HTPC & SFF builds! - As other reviewers state, you do have to install this cooler with the motherboard out of the case. This is a fact of life, for nearly all low-profile coolers; you save height clearance by removing the stock motherboard bracket with the fan clip holders on it, and using a backplate so you can screw the heatsink's bracket directly to the motherboard. It's also a fact of life for HTPC and SFF builds; they are always more difficult, and you have to do the build in the order specified by the case manufacturer, to fit everything into the special compact case. So normally you would start by installing your low-profile RAM onto the motherboard, then your CPU, paste, and this fan. (It's best to sit the mobo on top of some anti-static foam while you're working on it; hopefully you have some from the motherboard's box or another piece of electronics you bought.) If the mobo, memory, and CPU/fan all fit together OK, then you proceed with the build according to the case's instructions. Other reviewers have also pointed out that the included instructions have small print; however you can download the manual online and see it much bigger. (It's 2013, this is a computer part, who cares about printed instructions.) The instructions are mostly pictures, not unlike assembly instructions for international furniture. So pay really close attention to the orientation of the clip items as you add them to the backplate and fan. Also, you will have a much easier time installing this fan, with another pair of hands. It's do-able by yourself, because they include some two-sided tape to help hold the backplate in place while you install the fan. But it's much easier with a friend holding the board still, while you align the backplate and tape it on. Then your friend turns the board over, and holds the board & backplate steady for you on the work surface, while you install the CPU, paste, & fan. The rest of it's easy, especially with the included (custom?) deep, spring-loaded screws making it easier to apply even pressure to the CPU & paste as you tighten the heatsink down. If you've already built your computer and just want a clip-on fan, you might want to consider something else; but this is a really great, quiet, efficient, cooler, and well worth the extra installation effort. Once installed, it's just as effective as my older Zalman HTPC model from 5 years ago from this same line. It runs quiet under low CPU load, and doesn't make much noise under heavy load. It drops the temperature over the stock CPU cooler, by at least 10° C. This is even with the Arctic Silver still fresh; that paste has a 'curing' period of 200 hours before it achieves full cooling power, so the fan is having to work harder than it will after the curing completes. I went for this fan, over the similar CNPS8900 Extreme, because it has a lower noise rating, and because it has no distracting LED for an HTPC build. The Extreme has more cooling power, but I don't need that much, because I am using a low-wattage (65W) CPU. The heaviest tasks this computer does are watching my HDTV tuner & HD video files/streams, and maybe some day upgrading it with a Bluray player. Also I usually have *tons* of Chrome tabs open (literally up to 100 sometimes). Sometimes I stream full-screen 1080p Y*uT*be on one of those tabs, and it does this fine, even for videos that last an hour or more. It also runs HD desertcart Instant Video, and that *other* big streaming video service in HD, just fine. I expect the fan will outlive the rest of the HTPC, just like the older Zalman in my last HTPC build did. If you're trying to cram a microATX or miniITX mobo into a crowded case, the CNPS8900 Quiet is definitely the best fan to keep your CPU as cool and quiet as possible. If you need a little more cooling power, and don't mind the LED and a little bit of extra noise, go for the CNPS8900 Extreme, also available on desertcart for the same price. Either way get yourself some Arctic Silver, and this fan will be more than capable of cooling everything with a 100W or less processor. The CNPS8900 Extreme with Arctic Silver would probably cool a 125W OK, but I couldn't say that for sure.
Review: Excellent low-profile cooler for slim builds. - After using a stock HSF for my AMD Phenom II x4 905e, I was tired of the noise instantly. I needed something quieter. After some researching, it seemed for both the money and for the category of "low profile cooler", this was king. I put this in together with a ASRock 960GC-GS FX Motherboard in a Silverstone ML04B case and it seem to fit perfectly. It still had some head room to the lid of the case (around 1/4-1/2"). The fan seems screwed in from the bottom with two screws and is on there solid. Despite looking copper, the fins are aluminum. This should help a lot with cost and weight. The base/heat pipes are copper, which is where it really counts. The mounting brackets screw on the bottom, pending Intel or AMD. The surface was pretty rough on the bottom of mine with plenty of pits and could definitely using lapping for those looking for perfection, but I installed it despite to see where it sat in performance. The install was somewhat easy, but I've also done a lot of cooler swaps with custom hardware in the past. The stock motherboard mounting system had to come off, then install their custom plate. One thing about the plate is it didn't feel very balanced against the back of the board. For my AMD setup, the instructions required 4 nuts with 4 plastic snap-in ends to retain them. It also called for a plastic center piece that I believe is causing the feel of lacking balance, as it seems a bit too tall. It didn't hit any of the components under the CPU, so I give them that. The back plate also doesn't hold to the mother board on it's own and seems to require the heatsink installed to keep in place, which is another downside to it. The CPU screws were a little awkward to put in, as the size of the heatsink makes you come at the screw head at an angle. Do not try to put the screw in at an angle or you will cross thread and cause issues! Make sure the screws go in straight, but the screw drive itself will be forced at an angle to install. After everything is tightened up, you can then put the motherboard in. I didn't use the paste that came with it (instead, I used AS Ceramique 2) Cooling wise, it works awesome. I have my motherboard setting the fan at the lowest possible settings and it has yet to get much over 45*C with my setup. At that fan setting, it's nearly inaudible. If you have the fan in your hand and manually spin it, it makes no noise, yet you can feel a bit of air being pushed through the fins. I'd say this design is solid for quiet cooling. One thing to note is this is a tight fit. With my motherboard, using standard height DDR2 ram with heat shields, it would not fit. The orientation of the heatsink was perfectly against the ram. After forcing off a the heat shield on one side of the ram stick it was hitting, I was able to get everything to fit, though the heat pipe is touching and perhaps putting a touch of pressure on the PCB of the ram stick itself. This didn't cause any issues, but it is something to note. My board supports DDR3 as well, which is a single slot over and would probably solve this issue (as long as the ram doesn't have tall heatsinks on it). All together, if you are building a silent, slim, HTPC like I was, this thing isn't going to be beat by any other air cooler at this time, especially when considering the cost. However, overclockers may feel the need to modify this heatsink for maximum cooling and the average user may have issues with fitment into their setup.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cooling and noise performance, finicky mounting
*by A***T on October 6, 2019*

After properly reading the manual and therefore figuring out how to mount it the mounting went pretty smoothly, I’m going to retract some stars thanks to the hardships of screwing on the cooler with my screwdriver at a 45 degree angle. I’m personally running this cooler in the louqe ghost s1, cooling an undervolted i7-9700k at stock clock speeds of 3.6Ghz, thanks to the undervolting I dropped 15 degrees Celsius and I am now running rainbow six siege and apex legends on the highest settings at 65-70 degrees Celsius, so the cooling potential is not lacking, as for the noise i must say that it runs pretty quiet, not louder than my gpu so I can’t complain, I did not face compatibility issues with the asus rog strix z390-I mobo and Corsair vengeance lpx ram, so those are good. All in all a great cooler with a little finicky mounting but great cooling and noise performance, would recommend to anyone building in the louqe ghost s1!
