Very silent and completely noiseless
It is very easy to install and absolutely noiseless, it comes with thermal paste and it has 3 pin so you cannot control fan speed so if your board has 4 pin don’t worry just leave the last pin and match socket with other 3 pins, overall it is the best

Gamer review
Easy to install but the fan speed is not upto the mark. The led is bad.Its not spreading all the way around cooler.Using Intel X3470 with 95W TDPIdle temp 40Gaming 60Benchmark test 80Good for latest processor, average for old processor having high TDP.Go for cooler master if you do overclock or use old high TDP processor
Maximus Davis –
Unbelievable but true
Super-silent yet supercool. My old water cooler had recently become loud irritating. Old idle temp was 40 degrees C & now is 29. Earlier 90 – 100% CPU load temp was 65 and now it’s 45 degrees C. It’s unreal.

Price
The price and quality is good. However fitting and retracting is very sluggish.

Really good for normal users
I don’t know how good the cooler is interms of performance I got a product that was damaged the photo is just an example there are many more bends. And I don’t like thatThe packaging was also damaged I have, ordered for a replacement, once that is in I will change my review stars but for now it was not a good experience as it feels like they wanted to give me a broken product and get away with it .Edit: here is the update after I got everything exchanged got a new one and it was not bent and service in itself was really good. They got it returned in very less time like 2 days or 3 at max so I am happy with the service provided by them so here is my full reviewI saw many people say the installation is very difficult but I don’t think that is the case with this cooler it was pretty easy to install except for the ring which was a tad bit difficult but solved the problem after some time. Fitting the fan itself was not difficult by any stretch of the wordNow about the thermal paste they offered not complaining becuz of the price but still it was too watery which I don’t like but I have my own so not that big of a deal.I had stock Intel cooler for some time and it was shit , real shit the temps would go upto 60*c on idle and while gaming 80*c and the noise was too much but this cooler is fairly quite so there is no problem with that.The cooling is not meant for overclocking mind it . You can only do a little over clocking at your own risk but gives me stable temps and is pretty trust worthy .

Budget Cooler
It’s a decent CPU HSF which keeps the overall temperature below 60 degrees. My Fx6100 had overheating problem and it fixed it. Now it runs 20-27degrees cooler. I am not sure if it’s a good option for Overclockers but if you’re running your Fx at stock or turbo speed then definitely a good choice. I got it for Rs.1010. It’s really a budget friendly performing Heatsink fan and I recommend it.

Great Cooler
The cooling provided by it is really amazing! I am very much satisfied by the cooling performance..The thing I dislike about this is the I installation process, it’s very difficult to install it if you want to install without removing the motherboard. Apart from that it’s a great product.P.S. Thermal compound is provided

After using 2 week … Not an issue …. Good cooling in low Lange budget…
The media could not be loaded.
I would like to suggest that If anyone have a tight budget but wish to buy extra level of looking and cooling CPU fan…. So definitely go for this… My suggestion… 1st install processor, then install CPU fan ANTEC before fixing motherboard in cabinet. I think it would be easy to install….. Thanks… Nice product…

Good temperature change
I used intel stock heatsink it worked just for 2 months barely .. it spins at max 1400 rpm .. this fan is spinning at 2200 rpms and giving idle temperature of 37 degrees whereas on 💯 load max outs @ 54 degrees … Intel heatsink sucked for rising temperatures too high around 86 degrees .. must buy product

A30
Pros-1. It does make a difference. In my case the cpu dropped an average of 10°c in comparison to ordinary cooler. This was recorded after running glmark2 benchmark.2. It is an affordable cpu cooler.3. It have a blue light led that glows constantly.4. And highly appreciated noiseless cooling.5. Additional pin is provided in case someone accidentally breaks one.Cons-1. The heatsink looks cheap, it is made in china. And is shape and thin so be careful while handling.

Fits very well for AMD processor
I installed it on AMD Athlon. bit easy compared to earlier Coolmaster product which required entire setup. If you are runnning on AMD, you just need to replace with your exisiting fan. thats it. you may need to press it bit harder at beginning. but nothing to worry. Works smooth. Also this fan is with 3 pin and generally motherbaord will have 4 pin. try the combinations. 3 cheers

It’s very good for gaming.
It is very good for gaming. My old cpu cooler always got more than 90 degrees Celsius. But with antec A 30 it is always in under 70 degrees Celsius.

No problems with cooling!

Works goods… But tough to install
Didn’t expect to work as good. Temps are down by 15 – 20 degrees.Note: Installing the cooler with cabinet standing vertically will help to apply pressure from both side.. Took three attempts to get the second latch on it.

Awsome. Best value aftermarket cooler available Extremely light weight and powerful, cools processor nicely. Fits perfectly on LGA775 motherboard. Don’t worry it won’t damage your motherboard, just fix the pins tightly.

Nice product
Good product, I installed this inmy desktop system. Earlier my system was going to shutdown immediately when I booted since high cpu temperature – it was crossing 60+.After installing this cpu temperature reduced drastically. now it is reduced to 34 degree.. Very happy about its performance.

Good enough Cooler but hard to install Clip.
Good enough Cooler but hard to install Clip. Make sure to install it on a flat sturdy surface. and check your processor socket to to fix the push pin in proper place on the Mounting bracket, it has position for 3 generation of lga socket. Lack of a proper user guide is a con.

Does the basic job very well.
I bought this one as my earlier cpu cooler was not performing well pushing Intel i3 3rd Gen temperature to 65 to 72 deg C for even basic tasks like office work or just web browsing. made a decision to buy the Deepcool Gammaxx 400V2 blue at 1575/-. then measured the dimensions of it. its a 4 copper pipe design for better heat conduction. but when i checked the size its huge and does not fit my cabinet. then i decided to buy this budget 1099/- Antec A30 cooler. This cooler was installed in my Intel LGA 1155 socket. kindly remove any fittings if any at the back side of the motherboard. It will attach directly to the motherboard only. Follow the instruction manual. its easy to install. No RAM interference was noticed. This is a compact cooler. does the job very well. bought down the temperature from 65-70 C to 45-52 C Huge difference. Very happy with the purchase . But, I bought it for MRP 1099/- as I was in urgent need.The fan is super silent with cool blue LED light.Worth the money. Just go for it. Antec is a reputed brand in this segment.

Good but delicate.
No fan sound. Completely silent. The aluminium is very thin and delicate. Be careful with it while installing. No installation guide available for AMD motherboard. It was a bit difficult for me to figure out how to install. It’s not that difficult but not that easy either. Overall a good product.

This Cooler is good
I’m using this product for almost 1 year.It’s silent but not too silent.But I’m using my computer almost entire day.It’s recommended for continuous using person’s.Gaming performance is not changed because that is depending upon your GPU not a cooler.
Solly Sangma –
Good and value for money.
I am using it with Xeon E3-1220 mainly for audio and video recording…It is working fine and cools down the processor in normal to slightly heavy uses. But, during rendering high quality videos, the processor still goes very hot (90-95 degrees); probably an cooler would have worked little better…An additional high speed fan with an open cabinet cools it down to 80 degrees or below. Nevertheless, my experience with many computers tells me that this is normal during heavy gaming and video rendering, irrespective of coolers; with water cooler little or marginally better…Overall, I am happy with it.

Quality is not good but it’s works pretty well.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (EO) -Stock cooler – idle – 45 – 50°C, Normal load – 65 – 75°C, Stress Test (for 20min) or 100% Load – above 91 – 100°CAntec A30 cooler – idle – 38 – 44°C, Normal load – 45-54°C, Stress Test (for 20min) or 100% Load – 58 – 67°C (by the way in both case i used good quality thermal paste, don’t use the stock thermal paste which comes with Antec A30)

Amazing budget friendly
My cpu temp used to be 70-75degrees after I installed this fan it’s current temp is 45-50degree.
Uncanny pote –
Ok ok
A nice product as per the pricing. In idle mode keeps my processor at 38°c which is quite ok. As far as built is concern could have been better as cheap materials are used but again comparing with the pricing im ok with it. Comes wit an intel and amd bracket and thermal paste.

Beast for budget
Just go with this if u r on budget…i was confused btw hyper 212 and this for my i5-3570 and this reduced the temps upto 15℃. For beginners i would suggest if u r on budget just get this one along with mx4 thermal paste…u will see miracle for sure..
