The Arctic-Cooling Super Silent 4Pro L is not truly silent in the sense that it is inaudible. But it is quiet, especially when considering how similar its noise level is when compared to the boxed Intel cooler, which is accepted to be quiet. The heat sink's dimensions are very similar to the boxed Intel cooler, and it is also made of the same material. But because of its superior fin count and increased surface area, as well as a greater CFM fan, the 4Pro L performs significantly better than the stock cooler. That, the ability to choose from three fan speeds, the easy installation (just as simple as the stock cooler), and its low cost of $21.95, makes the Artic-Cooling Super Silent 4Pro L a very good heat sink and fan cooler. It is perfect for anyone building a PC that buys an OEM P4 that does not include the stock cooler. It is also perfect for users looking for better performance than the stock cooler without adding noise. And the blue LED is an extra bonus!
