Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been waiting for a good offering of socket 1156 HSF options and this Thermalright MUX-120 delivers.I bought this HSF to use with my Intel Core i7 860 CPU (non-overclocked).I was previously using the Intel stock heatsink and fan which left a lot to be desired in both performance and noise.
The original Intel HSF gave me idle temperatures between 35-40 degrees Celsius and 100% load temperatures 80-82 degrees Celsius which is very high.
After installing the Thermalright MUX-120 with some Artic silver thermal paste, my idle temperatures dropped to 20-22 degrees Celsius and 100% load temperatures of 50-55 degrees Celsius.
The MUX-120 is also much quieter than the stock Intel HSF with a constant speed 120mm fan running at roughly 1200RPM.I cannot hear the fan from the MUX-120 from outside of my Antec P183 case.
The MUX-120 came well package and with a clear instruction manual.The installation was easy, although it does require extra time for the removal of the motherboard if your case does not have access from behind the socket because a metal back plate is required for a stable installation.
The MUX-120 weighs a decent amount, but it fits well and doesn't bend/lean once the case is setup correctly.I would highly recommend this to anyone with a socket 1156 who wants a well-performing HSF with very little sound.If you plan to overclock your CPU it may work well for limited overclocking, but you might need a faster fan to provide better cooling if you overclock aggressively.
