The Akasa AK-965, priced at £11.74, certainly
seems to offer
quite a lot
for the money. Support is, however, limited to Intel LGA775 platform.
That means it supports all Intel consumer-focused processors released
in the last few years.
The box makes allusions to the processor support, including Core 2 Quads.
Akasa's AK-965 comes sturdily-packed in a cardboard box. Much like the cooler itself, it's rather understated.
