Pros: This is a great fan! Deffinatly worth the money. Keeps my AMD 64fx idling between 37-45c and after running a game for a few hours it only got up to about 50c. Very easy to install and since i had an Asus motherboard I didn't even have to remove it from the case it mounted up with the stock plate under the MB. The way the fan needed to cool pointed in the wrong direction in my tower, BUT the fan comes with an adaptor plate which allows you to maneuvre the fan 90 degrees which made it fit perfectly. 10 min install, not even. Is cooling just as good as my previous liquid cooling system that came with the Alienware, but broke.

Cons: None so far

Pros: Keeps my quad core at 38 -39 deg. Easy to install.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Make sure you install on MB outside of case. Have to put support on back of MB, but not hard. on Intel MB. You can hear it hum but not too loud.

Pros: All copper, 6 heatpipes, quiet fan, PWM fan control. Medium quality thermal paste.

Cons: Contact area thick. Has small imperfections. Shoddy Mounting method.

Other Thoughts: Used AS 5. E7300 @ 3.45GHZ. P95 blend. Antec 300 with side panel open.
Stock Intel w/AS 5 : 64C
ASUS Slient Knight 2 w/AS 5 : 51C/64*

*Intel Linpack test

It would be great if lapped. There are better coolers for the money. I got this @ (-fast food-made from potatoes)'s.
for $ 40

Remember that you can get a Xiggy DK which performs a bit better in my case.

Pros: cooled my AMD Athlon 64 X2 5800+ Brisbane 3.0GHz down 10c useing program {coreTemp32}. core 0 want from 45c to 35c core 1 want from 50c to 40c give or take a deagree or two. no more than that

Cons: mounting hardwear is junk. the clip reminded me of an old p3 clip but cheaper. after i put this together the heatsink wiggled alot. i had to [ut the thick part of a razer blade between the clip and the heatsink just to get it tighter. still wasnt as tight as i wouls of liked.

Other Thoughts: was useing a coolmaster mars heatsink.
