Customer reviews for the Akasa Chipset cooler, 3 Blue LED lo-noise Thermally Cond

To those buyers slagging of Akasa for using thermal tape - the tape they use is generally being acknowledged as the best in the industry and does a remarkable job.

After using it literally thousands of times over the last 10 or so years, I suspect you failed to clean your old chip of the previous heatsink bonding material - that would definitely have caused the slippage.

A bit of isopropy will do the job, or at a push - vodka :)

I'm sure this is a great fan, but despite the photo an description "Cooler & Heatsink" This a fan only ! No Heatsink!

This product is appalling and certainly not fit for purpose. The heat sink and fan seem OK and the fan is quiet BUT... Why the hell did they decide that a heat sink can be affixed to a chipset using a sticky pad? It just does not stick making it completely worthless. Even super-cheap sellotape is stickier that the pad and there is no luxury such as heat conducting paste. My advice - DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK. Sorry DABS, usually your products are so good too.

This chipset cooler attached by way of a sticky pad, it keeps falling off. Why couldn't it be attached via pins and heatsink paste? Other than that it's great
