How does this do with overlocking? I'm not trying to do anything crazy.

If over clocking causes higher stress and temp on the chip. I would use the bigger noctua cooler. I have used my computer under normal conditions without issue , however under load the temp rose and caused the secondary fans to be called in. Temp returned to normal and aux turned off . This would not have happened with the larger cooler. All is well and I still like the coller it works well. High stress requires additional cooling . Rare for me , may not be for you. Take care

Not that great for overclocking. I'm using it with a 65w I5 CPU and it runs plenty cool. Overclocking would go beyond it's thermal rating pretty quick. I recommend one of their larger CPU coolers.

It does very well. The increased air flow over the cpu is significant. It should work well unless you are going to really, really overclock.

I'm not overclocking because i'm using it in a very small case, with almost no space to breath... but i'm pretty sure that in a standard itx case it can handle a little OC. Not anything crazy, as you just pointed.

It doesn't lock on like many others do. As long as you feel it settle into place you are fine. This threw me for a loop at first as well.

My lock is parallel to the long side. It shouldn't make any difference as the latch is oriented parallel to the short side and the lock is low profile and shouldn't reduce the open flat area for storage.

I haven't had any issues with the locking mechanism or spring. Keep it clean and it will be reliable.

I have not. Seems to stay locked closed all the time for me, when not used of course

I'm not sure what unblocked means. One thing about them that confused me was there is an auto lock that I accidentally set and thought the thing was broken for a few awful moments. I have enjoyed mine once I learned how to work it. There are some youtube videos to help and there are some clues in the back of the manual telling you what the settings can be. Be sure to set the offset. My daughter in law speaks Chinese and keeps her's in that language for fun.

I was about to return mine after pulling and twisting like crazy without being able to unlock it. I gave the ring one last herculean twist/pull and it came undone. It seems that the mechanism that keeps it locked is a bit too tight. Once you get it going, it works great! Good luck!

It's a little tricky, if you twist the top one way it locks. And if you push it down when in the lock position it can get stuck. So keep wiggling it, till it goes down easily, just may take a little getting used it.

I agree with the other answer - it only locks when it's in the upright position.

The one I bought less than a year ago does allow the gas connector to lock on. I have not had any problems with simply holding the ring up while pushing down in order to no lock it. I normally do it this way, but if you slowly connect it I don't see why it locking would be a problem.

the brakes don't really lock, they really don't work all that well. It is a safety issue if you decide to use it that way, but once you start using it, you will find out that there's a way to do it without hurting yourself! It's not meant to be used as a stationary support.

Thank you for your question. It does lock out when fully extended. However, it does not lock in when closed - it is nice and tight.

The lock will always use power when it is locked. I found that it would not hold a screwdriver tight enough that I could not pull it right off, so I couldn't imagine how it could keep someone from pushing open my gate. I bought the "Estate" lock, I have been very pleased with its easy working mechanical latch system. I only uses power to open, and is not going to let the gate open if someone tries to force it.

you will adjust pulling up or pushing down when it is unlocked. To lock you just have to twist both extremities to opposite sides.

No it has a built-in overload circuit to prevent damage. I've done it and nothing happened.

Yes because I remember getting locked out accidently several times. I used it for about 4 months and a big gust of wind slammed my gate shut and bent part of this devise. I decide not to use this again. I did like the key feature. I won't buy another one.

Valid concern, that is what happened to me. I was okay with it as this lock is WAY more secure than the little built in one.
