Conclusion

While using a fan with this heatsink has its advantages, a lower temperature is yet to be seen for a full stress test, I’d give this heatsink…

3/5 for effectiveness

5/5 for ease of installation

4/5 for price

(lower the better)

Good first attempt, definately needs more information.

Would really need to have been removed and shown before, during and after fitting.

Where you were already using it you missed out on packaging and contents.

IMO needs more 'text' to explain the pictures and your thoughts about what the pictures are showing.

But all the same a great start

yup, already using it, packaging got thrown out a while back.

anyway... it's the only thing i have that is good enough to review

I reviewed a usb stick An unusual one, but still a normal object. When you use something daily and you think "Everyone should use this" or "No one should risk his sanity using this", write a review about it But as TTL said, it's how you review it.

What he's trying to say here is; Nice first attempt for 13 y/o. If you are serious about writing reviews then please take our criticisms seriously.

Nevertheless, good job and we look forward to hearing from you again.
