PRODUCT PICTORIAL AND WALKTHROUGH (cont'd)
Evercool touts their “Ever Lubricate bearing” as quiet with a long service life. At less than 21 dBA, these fans are certainly quiet. To quote the packaging, “Free collocation makes much colder and quieter.” I'm not sure what this means, but I'll take their word for it.
As mentioned above, the mounting solutions support AMD sockets from 939 up to the present, and Intel 775 and 1366 sockets. All AMD sockets, as well as Intel 775 are supported by the “All In One” backplate while 1366 has its own plate. Evercool includes a syringe of thermal material and the installation guide is clear and well illustrated to make the install as painless as possible.
