Conclusion

Despite coming with a dead fan, the Silent Whisper K8 still performed great. It could possibly be used passively too, if you have enough airflow in your case. For $19.99, I recommend this heatsink to anyone on a budget.

Pro's
+Cheap
+Cools well

Con's
-Came with dead fan
-Base finish slightly rough
-Mounting was fairly difficult

Wow aesthetically they don't do a lot for me, they look quite ugly tbh. Although I'm sure that they'll push through the pixels quite well. I think I'll wait for next the next gen though. Agreed with Kemp here though, we need to have one for a review
