Summary: I found this mid-sized cooler to be perfectly effective for my i7-3770K setup. I'm not sure if the angled design of the fan helps or hurts it, though.
Summary: Installation was easy and now my CPU runs about 10 degrees cooler than it did with the stock i5 fan. It is running on slow (900 RPM) and is barely audible and very easy...
Summary: Purchased the Thermaltake Silent 1156 after doing an RMA for a Zalman 92mm CPU cooler that did not fit on a ASUS P8P67 Deluxe motherboard due to the blue heat sink fins
