Just Cooler P-925
Just Cooler is a Taiwanese company
that makes a variety of airflow-related computer gadgets, and their P-925
is a good-sized chunk of anodised aluminium, considering that it costs only
$USD12 delivered.
The bottom of the P-925 has a factory-applied square
of thermal transfer compound (or, to use the technical term, "goop") on
it; you just remove the clear plastic guard and squish it down onto your
CPU.
Tweakers will want to wipe
off the stock compound and replace it with a much thinner smear, but for
less demanding applications this is a simple cooler to install, and should
get good contact. The clip's a slightly awkward hinged-ratchet type, but
holds the cooler properly on Socket 370 and Socket A CPUs - and probably
old Socket 7 and Super7 chips (Pentiums, K6s...) as well.
The Just Cooler 0.84 watt
low-profile fan's no wind machine, but it's a three-wire unit that reports
its speed to the motherboard, and it gets the job done.
As a low cost, nice looking,
easy to install cooler for a stock-speed or mildly overclocked CPU, the
P-925 should do well. And it ought to fit on practically any motherboard,
too; its cantilevered shape means it clears the power smoothing capacitors
that closely surround the CPU socket on many boards.
