Probably "ok" as a backup, and it's free. There are some problems noted in the comments that I can attest to, I have a 2950x. The size is a problem since usually on a TR4 you'll have some fancier motherboard features and this thing just hogs up space inside the case and on top of the motherboard, things like covering RAM slots. Also it seemed that the fans were installed the wrong way. YMMV on whether or not this deal is worth the hassle, I would rather just get a Noctua replacement and pay real money.
As an fyi, i called since I could not get the offer # to register, the rep said that purchases need to be made today, but the offer would not be live until tomorrow. Thanks OP! I thought I was done with NewEgg rebates forever, but "they keep pullin' me back in"!
Been a long time since there was a decent FAR item... Not quite FAR these days due to tax though.
Guessing they're clearing these out since TR4 is dead.
Wonder if this could be adapted (jury rigged) to fit other sockets? If it weren't for sales tax it might be worth it for parts & fan but as it is it's hard to risk this with a rebate that humongous.
Another 'followed all the Newegg rebate rules but they deliberately burned me on a technicality' customer here. I'll still do business with them but understand the rebate is always a risk.
