Key Specs
- Cooling System: Air (A computer's CPU generates heat while operating and requires a cooling system to keep internal components functioning properly. Air cooling uses fans to draw in cool air and exhaust hot air, while liquid cooling uses coolant-filled tubes and water blocks to regulate internal temperature more efficiently.)
- Fan Size: 92 millimeters
- Fan Speed: 2800 revolutions per minute
- Product Height: 5 millimeters (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 5 millimeters (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)

Installation Challenges. Cools great.
I needed a new heat sink and fan because the mounts to my former one broke when I took it out of the old MB, so I needed a new one for my new MB. I found few heat sinks that would accommodate a 1366 chip. My research indicated that the Cooler Master Vortex fit the bill. The unit is small enough to fit in my mini-ATX Rampage III Gene MB which I installed in a new Rosewell case. Instructions are fair but not complete enough for a first install. Someone who has done this a few times will have no problem. It comes with thermal paste which was great. My problem was with the plastic mounts. Three of the four went on great, but that last one of course would not want to secure tightly. For someone good at this, installation will likely not be a problem. Be patient with yourself if this is your first heat sink install. As for performance, I am very happy. I was running 38 to 45 C temps with my old factory installed heat sink, not bad for a 1366 I-7 chip. The Cooler Master Vortex Plus does better with boot temps as cool as 25 C and generally runs in mid to high 30's C when I am doing simple computer activities. I have to work the computer to get it up to mid 40's. Video work will do that. The Vortex definitely keeps my CPU cooler than my old one. I am not a gamer so I cannot address that situation, but it should work well even with that heavy use. After several weeks of use I am still happy with the Cooler Master Vortex Plus heat sink.

Super Cool Looking Fan
Got this to replace a stock Intel fan that came with my CPU. The stock fan was not keeping the CPU cool, I had temps in the high 70's most of the time. After removing the stock fan I cleaned the CPU with some alcohol and installed this new fan. My average temp is about 50 now. This is doing a much better job at keeping my PC running cooler. Plus, it just looks so cool with the heat pipes coming out the side!

Great bang for the buck
The Cooler Master - Vortex Plus 92mm CPU Cooling Fan with Heat Sink is a good inexpensive heat sink cooler. It works so well that I can't even hear the CPU fan. My only gripe about the heat sink is that it is a pain to install. Instructions are vague and the heat sink is very bulky. Before purchasing make sure that the heat sink can actually fit in your PC!!!
