would this be good for my CPU cooler? i have a gaming machine and all my other fans have blue LEDs

This fan is not a cpu fan. Its not like a cpu heatsink but it is great for keeping your computer cool.

Actually it is designed for PC case. So, if you want to use it on CPU, you have to make sure its size can fit your CPU heat sink.

I would not use this as a CPU cooler, I would recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. This is best used as an additional tower/case fan.

If your cooler supports 120mm fans and has a fan bracket, you can use this. It has comparable airflow to a Cooler Master Blade Master or Arctic F12 fan of the same size (about 2 CFM difference) so it should work fine as a CPU heatsink fan.

Stock cooling will do just fine. I have mine slightly over clocked and no worries. Just make sure you have good air flow through your case.

Yes! Be sure to use cpu thermal heatsink grease! "Caution" when using a lower grade cooler failure is at a higher risk!

I would look at your corsair. It does come with amd brackets. This will keep your processer cool. From what I have seen from this fan the temp hasn't gone above 43C and that's when I was out of town and my AC crapped out.

Yes, this fan is good for case cooling. I replaced a case fan on the Antec twelve hundred tower with this Antec triCool fan. Not only was it the right fit in size it was the best match to the blue existing led fans. The adjustable fan speed controller could have been on a longer wire.

I bought one of this to use on a dual core CPU. It does it's job as expected, throws out lots of air and it very good at reducing several degrees from the CPU. However, if you are planning to purchase a cooler for an Eight Core AMD FX, this is not your fan. For a CPU like yours I recommend you to get a watercooler. I have the same cpu as you and got a coolermaster Seidon for about $60. AMD cpus overheat a lot, so I would stay away from air cooling if I were you

It would help but it's not necessary unless you overclock a lot. I don't overclock and my cpu never heats too much.

I have two of the fans in the computer I'm building at the present time and neither one emits any light. I hope that helps you out.

No LEDs on the included fans. The included fans are quiet enough. My CPU fan is louder than both of them. As for coolness, I have all the fan slots filled so... yes? I think its a decent case for the price. It's got enough space for most GPU's and plenty of space for cables.

Absolutely a must, arctic silver is better than the white kind, but I suppose as long as you have something there to transfer the heat from cpu to heat sink it should be ok

Yeap, this cooler suite great to LGA1150.But you should be careful, it's huge, check that you have enough space in your PC.

Most suitable. It's high static pressure make it perfect for blowing through heat sinks and radiators. Though I wouldn't use the silent adapter for it if you're using it on the 212. I would think you would want the entirety of the fans cooling performance at your disposal when tasked to cool down your CPU.

I currently use it for my server laptop. I had it on my gaming rig but it does not produce enough air flow to keep her cool so I use a Cooler Master NotePal LapAir for my gaming rig now. I would only recommend this for light use laptops (web browsing, flash games, etc).

Don't know. Seems okay, If you can choose, better use some smaller memory. If you like, you can choose cooler master V8 GTS. This fan I can be sure you will perfectly install any high memory. I help one of my friends build that fan. That has much better looking-with red led light. And that only cost you 10 bucks more. If I can choose again, I will choose that fan instead of D14. Well, these two fans have same cooling ability, both are very good and BIG(size). When you have a windowed computer case, you may expect great looking led light. Hope this can help you. :)

The fans are for the interior of the box and not made for a heat sink fan for the CPU/"Chip". You should check with the AMD site to see what is the optimal heat sink for the chip that you have. If it needs a large one with a fan, then make sure you have a power supply that can handle the load. Hope this helps - Ken

Yes, but I would buy an aftermarket cooler. the Included heat sink doesn't move enough air and the CPU will commonly exceed 100*C

Blue...pretty bright too. I'd recommend you put that fan in the front for effect and buy two or three more aftermarket fans for extra cooling
