Pros: Performs well. Dropped an i7-6700 to about 27C idle and 50C load. It was running much hotter at 70-80C with the stock cooler beforehand. Runs decently quietly with 2 fans as well, did not notice fans ramp up at all. Nice textured black finish. Base is very smooth and flat which improves performance. Cons: Install was a bit tricky. The foam stuck to the motherboard backplate was applied incorrectly on mine which made it fit weird until I figured it out. Basically there are two pieces of foam stuck on the plate which contact the motherboard. One side has a hole to accommodate the Intel socket screw. However on mine, the two foam pieces were reversed so there was no hole for the screw to go into. I had to remove them and clean the adhesive off, then reverse them for it to work. Does not include a built in RGB controller. This would be ok if the fans had some sort of default lighting mode, but instead, without a controller they just don’t light up. If you have a system with no RGB controller pre-installed (or no controller that supports standard 4 pin RGB), you will need to buy one or the RGB will not work. This was annoying since I actually did have a different brand controller that used a different connector and the fans were not compatible. To get RGB I would need to install another, 2nd controller. At this point I will just go buy some different fans. Overall Review: Overall decent performance for the price. -1 egg for assembly issues and no built in RGB. Also strange name, reminds me of a certain terrible movie that came out a little while back.

Pros: * Beautiful all-black coating (Leto PRO RGB Black). I run a fully black system so it blends in perfectly. Normally with heatsinks like this, the fins/pipes would be a metal gray color, so it’s nice that Raijintek took the extra steps to make the whole heatsink match. * Direct heatpipe contact for the lowest temperatures. This has become increasingly common in recent years. The heatsink base has the heatpipes exposed directly onto the top of your CPU for maximum heat transfer. There are four in total. My only concern is that they are spread out quite a bit, normally it’s better to have them condensed as much as possible to ensure as much of the heat from the middle of the CPU heatspreader is transferred to the heatsink. Still though, in my experience any form of heatpipe contact is better than the solid plate that many other heatsinks use. * Good cooling, considering the size. By modern standards I would consider the LETO PRO to be a pretty compact heatsink. Even by single-tower specs, it’s moderately sized. However it does not even come close to any dual-tower designs. The cooling efficiency matched my other powerhouse single-towers, the Ultra 120 Extreme and S1283. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fans, although I used a controller to manually adjust the speed, there were no audible sound anomalies like humming/whirring/grinding. I’ve never used a Raijintek fan before, it’s always good to see more competitive fans on the market. It kept my 8700K at a respectable 65C, which is about where the other competitors kept it, although mine is delidded. Cons: * Crossbar mounting mechanisms are annoying. I was really disappointed when I opened the box and saw the crossbar. For non-dual tower heatsinks, crossbars seem to be the popular choice, but they are annoying and inefficient. It works fine, but it’s cumbersome, and it makes installation/uninstallation more complex. * More RGB issues make it a pain. Before I even installed the LETO PRO, I did some research and it seems like the RGB controls are the most common complaint and I have to say I agree. I managed to get it partially working with my motherboard connectors but I feel like the options are limited to what you have available in your existing PC and not enough is provided by Raijintek. Buying your own 120mm RGB fans and simply replacing the one (or two) fans on the LETO PRO is probably a wise decision. Just make sure you get something with high pressure. * Poor cooling value makes matters worse. The LETO PRO is priced to compete with dual-tower heatsinks. Aside from the questionably usable RGB, it really does not compete with dual-towers on the market. If you absolutely need a single-tower, RGB, solid black heatsink then it may be exactly what you’re looking for. Overall Review: I mounted this on an Intel LGA 2011 (8700K). It requires a backplate, a frontplate, and then finally the crossbar attaches to the frontplate with 2 screws. It takes quite a bit of screwing and aligning to get the LETO PRO onto your motherboard, but ultimately I wouldn’t say the experience was better or worse than other heatsinks, on average. There are definitely more convenient, and possibly sturdy, mounting designs on the market, however. Also, the LETO PRO doesn’t block any RAM slots so there’s no issue reaching them to add or remove RAM. The Raijintek LETO PRO Black isn’t the best heatsink on the market, but it does occupy a niche of its own. This heatsink is going to appeal to people looking for a very specific aesthetic: Solid black, with RGB, and ideally a single-tower. If that’s what you’re looking for, then the LETO PRO will get it done. As a sidenote, be careful when shopping the LETO heatsinks, there are several different designs and variations that can become mixed up. There is the LETO (1-fan), the LETO PRO (2-fans), and the LETO PRO Black (2 fans + Black heatsink). The heatsink listings seem to be swapped around on some stores — check twice before you buy.
