This is the best air CPU cooler I've used. Excellent performance and solid mounting design. Installation was easy and very secure. I use a pair of Scythe Slip Stream 68 CFM 120mm fans for a push/pull set-up. Along with Arctic Cooling MX-4 compound this set-up keeps my i5-760 running very cool at 3.7GHz. 28C idle and 50C full load after hours of prime95. I've had the i5 stable at 4.2GHz 24/7 using this set-up, but that was overkill for my needs. The Rev B is huge and looks awesome. It's 6.25 inches tall so make sure it fits. It has plenty of room inside a Thermaltake ARMOR+ case. I was considering the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler for half the price, but the performance, looks and build quality of the Prolimatech won me over. The Cooler Master is a good alternative if you don't wanna spend the extra 30 bucks. Overall I'm very happy with this cooler and would recommend it.

The Megahalems is very well constructed and made of quality materials. The installation kit makes it very sturdy with a great design. I installed this beast on my i7 980X CPU with a 3400 RPM Delta fan and it keeps my CPU nice and cool. I haven't seen my CPU get to 60C under a lot of stress, which is pretty cool. It does its job and it does it in a superb way. If you need air cooling, the Megahalems is simply one of the best, if not the Best you can get. Highly recommended!

Bought because of several excellent reviews including [...]

Took a bit of time to figure out on installation that the two top mounting brackets had to be facing inward rather than outward. Once that was sorted out, the rest of the install went smoothly.

Works well cooling a Xeon W3530 (almost identical to i7 930, just includes error correcting code (ECC) memory support). Overclocked to 3.74G, with a single Scythe S-Flex SFF21E fan, CPU voltage 1.23125V, running 24/7. Idle temperatures about 31C, full load temperatures about 69C.

Very tall heatsink, just fits inside Antec P180 case.

Very satisfied with solid build and cooling performance.
