Great review Hilbert! Thank you for posting it.

Interesting results, deepcool is doing well on budget products with very good performance per dollar. Thanks for the review

There are coolers like mine, the "legendary" EVO 212 Plus ( PWN and silent, too ) which I got for 24€ and has been used at least on my last 3 M/Bs & CPUs and then the prices go excessively higher, like ~70-90€ for just ~4-5C lower... Don't you find it at least a bit strange? It's as if there's no middle ground. Well, of course there are few exceptions, but I'm making a point. Edit: And currently with Chinese products being involved in our lives for good, I saw one exactly like mine for 19€. If something happen to my Cooler, I'll go for the 19€ one. Same number of heat-pipes and smooth at the contacting base. I'm talking about my 9700K non-overclocked and never felt I needed something better. The Chinese knockoffs are being improved substantially over time while the prices remain competitive.
