Looked for quite a bit before stumbling across this TX3 Socket 478, large surface area, check, tall fins, check, mounted fan, bonus. Bought this, some double sided thermal tape, and a Noctua NF-A6x25 PWM fan. Stuck it in there directly onto the chipset/M.2 covers and set the fan setting on the moon. Chipset is at 44 so it dropped 9 degrees, The 4 NVME drives were resting at 39, 41, 44, and 45, they are now resting at 37, 38, 39, and 39. I will be passing along the information and links to whomever will listen. It's on an MPG X570S CARBON MAX, CPU and GPU are both water-cooler so ambient temps in the case sit around 22. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for older systems *by D***L on November 17, 2022* Added it to a Intel Core i7 860 in an old Hp Elite build. I had replace the old until as I couldn't find a replacement fan as one of the fins broke. The offset between the screws and the part that comes in contact with the die was off by a bit compared to the old unit, but I placed of the thermal compound that came with the new heatsink, screwed it down, and pulled it back up. The heatsink definitely sits correctly! Turns out the original sink didn't even have thermal compound! Been running since 2008 like that! Thermal compound looks like a normal desiccant bag (the thing with beads in it that keeps packing dry) so be careful not to throw that away. Will Temps review if there's any issues with temps. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Revised review -- product was OK after all but does need instructions *by T***Z on January 23, 2024* Originally sent a negative review last week because I could not get the pins to go into the holes of my 775 board. It turns out the fan's pins were shipped in the "installed" configuration rather than "ready to install", and I was not familiar with these pin types. After some work I was able to get the pins set up right. An instruction manual would have been helpful for us novices so I could spot the problem. Otherwise all seems good and it did ship with a small packet of thermal paste. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 85x70x50mm Socket 478 CPU Cooler Fan - CPU Cooler with Heatsink & TX3 Connector (FAN478), Black - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White Certified PSU, Continuous Power with 120mm Ultra Quiet Cooling Fan, ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V Active PFC Power Supply PS-SPD-0500NPCWUS-W --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/11201831-startech-com-85x70x50mm-socket-478-cpu-cooler-fan-cpu-cooler](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/11201831-startech-com-85x70x50mm-socket-478-cpu-cooler-fan-cpu-cooler) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
