Nexus FLC-3000 Socket LGA1366/775, AM2 Cooler
The Nexus FLC-3000 cooler combines some of the most advanced technologies in the market used for CPU coolers. Heat pipes at an 30° angle, SkiveTek and 3 types of ultra-thin fins combined with a real silent PWM controlled fan delivers ultimate performance which has never been this quiet before.
FLC coolers are crafted out of the purest aluminum and copper materials. The heat sink covering the heat pipes and the copper base is made using SkiveTek technology. We have managed to apply the best technologies at the best position on the cooler. And the result is astonishing...
The 92mm fan is PWM controlled and the speed can vary between 900 and 2500 RPM creating a noise-output of an inaudible 15 dB(A) up till a still truly quiet 24 dB(A).

 Nexux CPU LGA1366 CoolerSep 28, 2011
By Josephine Lindquist
The product was easy to install and it keep the extermely hot Intel 990 Extreme processor running cool. The average CPU temp stays around 115 degrees. It also looks cool with LED lighting.
 Poor airflow, not that quiet.Oct 09, 2009
By Timothy Parker
I bought this CPU fan to replace a non-PWM fan, the Zalman CNPS9500A. A PWM fan automaticlly adjusts the fan speed as needed to keep the CPU cool, running slower and quieter when the CPU is working less. I was especially interested in the Nexus FLC-3000 as it had a decibel rating of 15.5 (extremely low) and directed airflow down and over the motherboard, helping to cool that too.
Installation was initially frustrating. The "manual," a few pages of very tiny text and pictures, could have been much better. First, the manual states that the motherboard must be removed from the case. On my case, both sides of the case can be removed providing access to both sides of the motherboard, so there's no need to remove the motherboard from the case. Secondly and most important, two clips are used to hold the heatsink base onto the CPU. But, just how to attach the clips to the base was a puzzle. I finally figured out that screws holding the copper base to the aluminum block must be slightly loosened so the clips can be fit into a slot between the copper base and aluminum block, then the screws are tightened to secure the clips. The clips (and fan unit) can then be mounted to the motherboard. Only one tiny tiny diagram eluded to this step in the manual.
So, once installed I was hoping for better performance, both in keeping the motherboard cooler with the downward airflow, and the fan being extremely quiet. 15.5 decibels should be all but inaudible. Alas, neither of these goals were met. The CPU and motherboard run about as hot as with the old fan, and the new fan puts out a clearly audible whine, especially since it must mostly run at higher speeds to cool the computer. Airflow is very UNimpressive. With the fan running at maximum speed, I put my fingers beneath the aluminum block to feel the downward air flow. To my suprise, I could barely feel anything at all, and that with the fan whirring away at high speed and being anything but silent. The actual size of the fan is quite small (92 mm), and I think that is some of the problem. If the fins on the aluminum block were shaped differently, a larger more effective fan could have been used. It might have produced better air flow at slower fan speeds keeping the unit quieter under heavier loads. Even though a small fan when running at low speed is quiet, it must run faster than a bigger fan to produce the same airflow and cooling. So, the minimum decibels of 15.5 is not very meaningful. A larger fan with a higher decibel rating can be quieter in actual use since the fan will be turning slower to produce the same airflow. It seems that the decibel rating at the slowest speed is mostly a marketing ploy. A better measure would be decibel ratings at various air flow volumes.
So, this fan fails in the two areas that I deemed most important: sound volume and cooling. My old fan was a Zalman CNPS9500A non-PWM fan; I should have left that in or moved up to the 120mm Zalman CNPS9900 PWM fan, possibly also adding an Antec Spot Cool fan directed at the motherboard to add a bit more cooling there.
