Model overview based on user reviews  
The Deepcool Gamma Archer is a budget-friendly active cooler designed for processors, featuring a 120mm fan that directs airflow downwards onto the motherboard. It is equipped with a hydrodynamic bearing for quieter operation, although some users report it can be loud and lacks PWM control due to its 3-pin power connection. The cooler has a massive aluminum heatsink and is effective for CPUs with a TDP up to 95W, making it suitable for non-overclocked processors. Installation can be challenging, with some users finding it inconvenient and potentially stressful on the motherboard. While it offers decent cooling performance for its price, it may not be the best choice for high-power CPUs or those seeking a quieter solution. Overall, it serves well as a replacement for stock coolers, especially for lower-power processors.

You can take a CPU no higher than 100 W

In general, for this money you can hardly find something better. The E5 2640 cools perfectly, but it won’t be suitable for a more powerful CPU!
Cheap, quiet, massive radiator, removes heat well from the processor and the vrm zone, cools the memory.
Installation on the motherboard is not very convenient, you will have to contrive, small contact patch with the CPU
Alexey Kliminuse Deepcool Gamma Archer few months
For some kind of cold processor, it's just perfect.

120mm krutilka, blowing the motherboard, appearance.
Hellish installation, inconvenient and scary, the motherboard almost turns inside out.
The radiator is a stingy edition, 80w is its limit.
3-pin power without PWM.
don't buy it, it's not worth the money. You can take it for the first time.

the worst cooler is loud throughout the entire apartment and does not cool the processor. Makes it difficult to insert a RAM stick
Cheap
It's loud, it's impossible to plug it in when it's running on RAM, and it doesn't cool the processor.

Massive heatsink

The first candidate to replace the stock Intel and AMD coolers is the affordable Deepcool Gamma Archer. A large heatsink is made of a single piece of aluminium - such a low-cost cooler does not have and cannot have either a copper core or heat pipes. The number of ribs is relatively small, but they are very thick.

Hydrodynamic fan

The 12 cm Deepcool fan is built on a wear-resistant hydrodynamic bearing (it will remain quiet for a long time) and spins up to 1600 rpm (moderate noise 21 dB). It connects to the motherboard via a three-pin connector, that is, it cannot automatically adjust the rotation speed depending on changes in processor temperature (you can manually change the speed in the BIOS settings).

Easy Installation

Attaches the Gamma Archer to the front of the motherboard, no need to install a back plate. Most current Intel processor sockets are supported, with the exception of the rare LGA1366 and LGA2011, and absolutely all AMD platforms.

Sufficient heat dissipation

Effective heat dissipation is guaranteed up to 95 W, but we can say with confidence that the cooler will cope with eight-core 125-W AMD FX 8000 processors, unless, of course, it is overclocked. But the quad-core Intel Core i5 can be easily overclocked - the cooler can cool it down.
