  • Pros: It look sturdy, and came with all the major mounting bracket.
  • Cons: The AMD mounting system is not ideal. On the dry install I was able to rotate the Heatsink almost 90 degree with no force at all. I hate to say it but the stock AMD he...

Craiger, Newegg
19 February 2011
  • Pros: Fit in mt Antec three hundred case just fine. It was easy to install and keeps my 955BE at around 28c.
  • Cons: The fan has to started by hand it won't start on it's own. This is a real pain because I can't put my side cover on my case. Looks like I will have to buy another fan ...

Not Flawless

  • Summary: I installed this onto an Asus Evo 880G full ATX Motherboard. I ended up just using the Asus backplate,
  • Pros: Very nicely constructed cooler, beautiful copper base, tons of nice looking heat pipes, got very good reviews, and performs very well at cooling a CPU.
  • Cons: The back plate for AM3 leaves a lot to be desired.
