This thing is the best heatsink/fan I've ever owned. I've gone through quite a few, too.

It is nearly silent and is very cool-to-the-touch. Which to me means it's doing its job. I have it on a 65W Athlon64 X2, so it's not like it has that much heat to dissipate anyways.

The heatsink is really easy to install, and just requires a flick of the lever instead of having to push down hard on a tension clip with a screwdriver. I onced stabbed and ruined a motherboard when I slipped off the clip with a screwdriver before.

I really can't believe how quiet it is. With this fan and a new Antec EarthWatts powersupply, I can't even hear my PC at night anymore.

Also, this has one of the best lifetime expectancies, and a 6 year warranty which is nearly unheard of for heatsinks/fans.

This fan is well built and quiet. I have had it installed for about 2 1/2 months now and I have to check to see that the fan is running since I do not hear it. Installation was easier than walking and chewing gum at the same time. There's no need to go with an expensive fan, this one will do great!

Used with a Biostar 790 motherboard and Phenom X4 9650. This cooler works well. It maintains an acceptable CPU temp. It is large, but most cases should be large enough (I have a handcrafted wooden case with typical mid-tower dimensions). The fan makes an average amount of noise; not too loud but not silent, either. Unless you are an overclocker, this cooler should work fine. After building several computers I've learned there is no need to buy a $50 CPU cooler...unless you are an overclocker. The last CPU cooler I put in a home built computer was $20 and lasted about 4 years.
