These four poor little things were shaking with fear before today's test. In the following minireview, you'll find out, how were these four aluminium low-end coolers representatives able to defend themselves.






Intro

Our four Speeze coolers slightly resemble box coolers, mostly with their plates area, quality of material used, size, speed rotation, noise level, fan efficiency and in two cases, with the copper base. I thought they might perform similarly to box coolers, considering that tested Speeze coolers are products in the same category. In the next chapter, you'll find all the information besides the conclusion. On the following pictures, there they are, four Speeze coolers, together with all data, tables and graphs.



Packaging, manufacturing quality, installation and thermal tests

Regarding packaging, Speeze Company has decided for using of classic pink cardboard box. On the next picture you can see that packaging makes coolers attractive on the first sight and maybe even too much.



Well yes, as you can see, packaging of all four coolers is nearly identical. And after unpacking coolers and all the gear, you'll see this...



I'll begin from the left. On the first sight, the EE782B3 Speeze cooler looks like AMD box for Athlon X2 6000+ model without the heatpipes. This immediately indicates lower performance. Cooler is compatible with AMD-939 and AMD-940 sockets.







Cooler comes with metal sheet bed for easy cooler installation, to prevent deformation of a motherboard. Than there is thermal grease Fanner 420 made by Fanner Group, two screws for mounting and users manual.







There is nothing to comment on temperature values, tables and graphs give clear information. I should only add, that cooler is usable up to 95W. However, cooler's using at 95W performance is conditioned to power supply voltage of 12V. So decide yourself.

The next tested cooler is Speeze EE792B12 model. Its shape resembles common AMD box cooler. Is it just a coincidental similarity?







This copper base cooler achieves better thermal distribution and it supports AMD-754, AMD-939 and AMD-940 sockets, what is one more comparing to the previous model. In packaging you can find again metal sheet bed to prevent deformation of the motherboard, the same manufacturer's thermal grease as mentioned above, screws for mounting and users manual.







It looks like Speeze EE792B12 model shows equal limits: 95W and 12V, at the CPU temperature of 61 oC.

The next, Speeze EE512S7 cooler is a model made for INTEL - LGA775 socket. I am not going to put comments on its design; I would say it resembles itself.







This cooler comes with poor gear equipment. In packaging you can find metal sheet bed preventing deformation of motherboard and users manual. In this case, thermal grease was already pre-applied onto a copper base by manufacturer.







Looking at summarized results, it's obvious that cooler is able to perform somewhere up to 95W and 12V.

Our last tested cooler is Speeze EE513S6 model, with authentic shape.







Again the same gear enclosed. Thermal paste is pre-applied on square aluminum base by manufacturer.







This model's usability is 12V fan and 125W, with temperature of processor of 64 oC, still practicable for some users.

All four coolers have ball-bearing fans. What to say, they are silent approximately up to 6-7 V, and than the "balls noise" starts. Plastic wings seem sometimes disorganized, what reveals low-budget. I didn't make pictures of coolers bases, even they are completely identical...



Conclusion

Everything would be all right...if only. Low quality thermal paste was a reason, why coolers have failed in tests. In few aspects, these four performers keep the standard of box coolers, in other they present much lower qualities. And what about thermal paste? Have a look at a database; database of passives is not included as it was not measured.



Average value of thermal lapse is + - 25C at 215W. Temperatures of processor could be 10 degrees lower. Such a little detail which means a lot.

Pros: low cost.

Cons: thermal paste, usability (with OEM paste ) only up to 95W@12V - but this will result in noise.

Tested coolers might be usable for those, who don't want to overclock their 65W processor, which comes without box and in one time they are not likely to invest approximately 500 sk to a new cooler plus they don't mind noise of 12V (author's subjective feeling). Naturally, all with different (maybe even cheaper) thermal paste, with better thermal conductivity than original one.
