Cooler Master Hyper 103 CPU Air Cooler '3 Heatpipes, 1x 92mm PWM Fan, 4-Pin Connector' RR-H103-22PB-R1

The Cooler Master Hyper 103 is a great, cheap CPU Fan. Priced at £19.99 (Purchased from Amazon Prime NOW app) it actually cools down my AMD Athlon 860K clocked at 4.3GHz as good as a Corsair Hydro Unit.First the CM Hyper 103 says it needs 158.5mm space to install, my PC case, an AEROCOOL VS-1 says I can only fit 155mm. I managed to fit this into my case with a lot of room left over, barely even near the PC case side.My temperatures on stock Athlon cooler were 48C Idle. I am now getting 22C Idle on this.Temperatures while gaming, FFXIV Ultra are stable at 33C using the CM Hyper 103.Stock temperatures were 65C while gaming.I think its fair to say this is a brilliant product. Make sure it fits into your case and also the Blue LED is pretty amazing.As for noise, I can't give specifics but it is noticable MUCH quieter than Athlon stock cooler. I can barely even hear this Cooler.Installation was super easy, took me 8 Minutes. You can find guides on Youtube for it but all screws and brackets are provided.Thermal paste tube is included!There you have it, if you need a CHEAP CPU cooler, get this. It fits just about every socket, including my Athlon 860K and even fits 2011-3 and 1151 socket now! amazing.Go buy it.Product page information:[...]

I have had this Hyper 103 Cooler for about 4-5 years now.So to begin by saying it has been very reliable and build quality is excellent, since the Hyper 103 cooler is working as well as the first day I started using it.One thing to note that this is a fairly well sized heatsink/Cooler and will need a case that can handle this sized cooler, not only for size but also to allow for access to the 4 screws. The heatsink base is a aluminium base with the copper piping directly exposed to the CPU for effecient heat transfer, one note is that the base is not glass smooth, this however has not had any notice negative effect.I bought this since I do not run my CPU's at stock, I never have. I have overclocked an FX-6300 and FX-8320 with this CM Hypewr 103 Cooler and it has handled the temperatures very well. The Cooler has had no problems with the FX-6300 even nudging the CPU over the 4Ghz mark. Now the FX-8320 runs a fair bit hotter once over 4Ghz and during a torture test the CPU is maintained at around 58C. Average daily running on the FX-8320 is between 25-30C and under gaming load it reaches around 40C.Due to this effecient heat dissipation the Cooler will generally run very quietly.The point is this is an excellent Cooler for its price, unless you plan on seriously pushing you CPU to the edge this will more than handle you CPU heat.

Got this as a replacement for my stock cooler on an Intel LG1150. I'm really impressed with the performance, around 30 idle and 55 under heavy load. The fan's incredibly quiet, and the noise reduction is probably the biggest benefit I've had so far.One thing worth noting is this isn't an easy install. You need to mount a bracket on the back of your motherboard. If your case doesn't give you access, that means a disassembly to get the motherboard out.Thankfully, this is properly secured. You're using metal screws and nuts, not those terrible plastic push pins that never seem to really lock in place. I'm confident it's in there nice and tight.

This is amazing and one of my best investments, I did have an "ARCTIC Alpine 11 Pro Rev.2" but it wasn't giving me any satisfaction, I was getting around 40-50 on idle and up to high 80-90's when gaming..I ordered this straight away, and I'm now getting around 23 when simply browsing and watching movies and around 39-43 when gaming on Ultra on high demanding games, I've not even seen it hit high 40's or over yet. It's always around 800rpm so it's pretty quite. It's a large cooler so make sure you check things before you order, I believe it's around 158mm from the bottom to the top. I have loads of room left using the Corsair 100r Case.The blue led is a nice touch, with it was an RGB or even an option to turn it off, but i'll be investing in blue corsair LED fans to match the theme now.I'd high recommend this if your a gamer or simply a browser, it'll keep your pc cold and running quite, remember if your pc hasn't got a big enough back plate cut out you will have to remove your motherboard to install the cooler mount, be careful doing this. A lot of tutorials are on YouTube if you get stuck and don't have interest reading instructions.

I give this CPU cooler 5 stars. this is because it's a genuinely brilliant product and fairly simple and straightforward to use. don't let these 1 star reviews get you down by saying that it took 1+ hours to install. I, myself with little experience on mounting CPU coolers did it in about 20 mins with no issues and that says A LOT. Anyone with about half a brain can use this to the fullest if you read and follow the included user manual.With my stock AMD fx 6300 stock cooler, I would idle at around 35°C and at full load get around 65°C.With the CM hyper 103, I get around 16°C (which is like room temp) and at full load, get around 35°C.(Although, more audible than the stock cooler)This is with no changes to the CPU fan curve for both coolers.It sits just perfectly in my microATX CIT case and also helps with cooling the motherboard. I love it

Extremely hard to install. I found the screws too small meaning the brackets have to be forced down to install this. It got to the point where I felt the motherboard was going to snap. This product has a very poor installation. Spent 1+ hours trying to get this onto the motherboard properly.The cooler keeps my cpu 5 degrees cooler at idle but has a horrific installation due to short screws.
