Summary: I swore after reading many others' accounts of injury due to the sharp edges of this heat sink that I was much too coordinated to have to worry about cutting my knuckles
Pros: Keeps my processor cool, cool, cool. Looks great too.
Summary: 2. On full load when temp goes over 60C, it becomes pretty loud. With another loud GTX 480 fan and room temp being 75F or more these days, speechless.
Pros: 1. Lowered my 42.GHz OC'd i5-760 load temperature from 73C~75C to 64~68C
Cons: 1. Hard to install - likely to get cut while fastening the clip screws
Pros: Looks, cooling ability, quiet, and installed easily. I bought it to cool an i-7 3770K and it keeps the cpu at a cool 29C at normal stock usage (compared to the 50C of ...
Summary: The installation instructions are a little lacking, and you're given 4 screws for the cross-brace to hold the cooler to the bracket when you only need 2.
Pros: It's Super Effective! I've actually got the fan throttled down to half power, and it keeps my CPU nice and cool (below 40*) at idle and up to moderate usage. Kicks up ...
Cons: Those copper fins are SHARP! Wound up with my fair share of cuts on my fingers trying to apply enough pressure to get the screws set on the bracket.
Pros: I've had this cooler for 6 months now, and it does it's job very well. Keeps the CPU cool even under very heavy loads.
Cons: This thing can get LOUD. I have a lot of cooling in my case (aka a lot of mesh) so there isn't much sound resistance. I can hear this thing anytime it spins up above 30%
