Value & Conclusion

  • The XIGMATEK 055 cooler has not hit retail shelves yet in the USA.
  • Good performance
  • Quiet
  • Replaceable fan
  • PWM fan
  • Mounting clip for AMDs can be a pain during installation
  • Build quality not as good as it could be
8.5Xigmatek's 055 cooler is quite a nice cooler - Its performance is very good when it comes to air cooling and it is quiet in its operation. With a way to mount an additional 92mm fan, more performance is possible. One thing I did mention was its build quality, which could be better. By this I mean the ends of the heatpipes could have been dressed more, and the outer casing of the cooler's sink could have been secured better. Also when I received the cooler the base was scratched, which could have affected performance. I was assured by XIGMATEK that when this cooler hits retail and is shipping to end-users, it would be free of such defects. Other than those minor things, I was overall very pleased with the cooler.
