Works very well. You need a big case and on ASUS boards, it crowds the memory module slots. It still fits, but it could be a problem on some boards.

I got one of these in 2007. It worked fine for a couple years but then the fan started to get noisy and slow. Eventually I got CPU fan failure alerts from the mobo. Thermaltake nicely rma'd and replaced the fan for me, but after only one year, the replacement fan started to get noisy too.

I should add that the noise from this unit will be the loudest thing in your case if you are used to 120mm case fans.

I've since replaced my cpu cooler with a zalman that has a 120mm fan and it is MUCH quieter even than a new mini-typhoon.

There is nothing mini about this heat-sink/fan combo! Made from all copper, it weighs a lot more then your stock set. Being that its made from copper it dissipates heat faster then aluminum. The only drawback was the fan, I had to replace as it was very noisy, but I think I may have just had a bad fan. Check out the link below for a more detailed review.

The product was easily and quickly installed. As tall as it is I have plenty of room in my mid-tower. The only draw back is that the installation instructions aren't very clear in a couple of steps and the pictures are very small. I went on-line to www.thermaltake.com, downloaded the .pdf installation instructions and then copied to MS Word to enlarge the document. It all works!
