Digital camera Review: Best budget cooler for the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
folks, I used this cooler in my build of Q9550 intel quad core, EVGA 790I ultra, gtx260 build. I didn't post this review for a while since I really didn't abuse and test this product. I finally have been tearing this thing up testing wheather it can handle the mess or do I have to move on to liquid cooling. This is in conjunction with my Antec 1200 case, I have my cpu cranked up 3.82 ghz, I thought I would be blowing the doors in the temperature dept, but to my surprise, the cpu never went over 55c under full load, I idle at 37-40 depending on ambient temp, from my research these temps are a little on the low side = great performance. Most people also want to know the noise factor, this thing is quiet even at full speed. I have the fan maxed for superior cooling, I can't hear it! the case fans, and video card fan makes much more noise. I picked this thing up for 29.99, due a rebate. But equivalent products cost almost twice as much. This is very simiar to offering by xigmatek for the similar price. The biggest drawback is that you need to purchase a backplate, if you do not like the pushpin install. From what I've read the pressure backplate is the way to go in order to get the best performance out.Digital camera Review: Big Cooling Unit

It's a monster no bout about it, went with another users recommendation to put the cooler on the mobo before putting the mobo in the case, it is easer this way, trust me. Very Quiet, you should have a substantial case for this bugger, you'll need one as I found out the hard way my older Mid tower wouldn't accommodate the cooler. I got the Thermaltake Armor VA8000BWS ATX/MicroATX/ExtendATX/BTX Full Tower PC Case (Black, this case may be over kill but I was really impressedDigital camera Review: Excellent air cooling solution, but BIG be carefull AMD owners!!!

First of anything BE CAREFULL AMD's OWNERS, this coolin' was not designed for us!!! I own an AMD Phenom 9950+ w stock fan + MSI K9A2 platinum 4x2gb corsair dominator ddr2 1066, the cooler bracket for AM2 only can be used in one positions, interfering w memory aluminum dissipators, also if you can remove the dissipators (not recomended!!!) that wont be the perfect position of the cooler, leaving the air fluid in vertical way, when the best installation will be in horizontal wave. I need to make a little modd of this cooler to make it fit into my mobo: bend at 45 degrees the base aluminum foils, also move the fan position 1cm to avoid shocking with memorys... the result: w stock fan 39ºC idle Vs Vendetta2 + artic silver5 29ºC idle... nothing bad but a lot of work to make it happend... OCZ remain AM2 users!!!Digital camera Review: GINORMOUS AND POWERFUL!

Wow, this puppy is big. I was expecting big, but this is HUGE. I was worried that it wouldn't fit in my Antec 300, but everything went fine. It is a bit difficult to install, considering I was replacing my processor, an Intel 775, and therefore was not prepared to totally remove my mobo from the case, which, as a previous reviewer noted would have made things much easier. This monster actually leaves the push pins in the shade with barely enough room to squeeze a finger in to get them secured. I had to remove my RAM and GPU to get in there, and after a few frustrating minutes finally got the pins all the way down.
As for the cooling, it's fantastic. My new q9400 idles @ 26C, @37C under load, and load means running Mass Effect 2 with everything maxed.
Worth every penny.
Digital camera Review: Great CPU cooler

I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 with a sustained overclock of 3.0 ghz with absolutely no problems. The installation can be a little challenging with certain motherboard and case combinations because of its size, but its well worth the effort.
