Owned and have used this cooler for about 2 months now. Overall I'm extremely happy with it, it has dropped the CPU temperature in my PC by about 30 degree Celsius. That's not to say its been completely flawless, but nothing that couldn't be worked out at later date. Below is the breakdown of the pros and cons:
PROS:
--Provides excellent cooling to my CPU (8 core AMD processor and it runs around 27-30 degrees at rest and maxes at around 40 degrees under load)
--The radiator seems to be very durable. I'm not very gentle when I installed components and it held up with no issues.
CONS:
--Had one fan arrive dead on arrival and had to get it replaced by amazon (which they did within a day, excellent support). After about a month the other fan started screeching like a bearing or something broke. About 2 weeks later the 2nd fan started making some noise as well. So I ordered a couple of replacement corsair fans and going to just swap them out. No biggie, it happens but still a con that I feel should be listed.
--Installing it is more of a 2 man job due to have to mount the bracket to the back of the motherboard and install the screws with the heatsink on the front of the motherboard. I accomplished it by myself but if I had to do it over again I'd call a friend for help.
--The Y connector that came with this originally would not power both fans as some of the pins were broke off on one of the connectors. Wasn't a big issue since I had multiple connectors on my motherboard that were free to use but something to keep in mind if your motherboard doesn't.
