Pros: To UnfitProduct:

Cons: You must remove these heavy coolers before transporting them.

Other Thoughts: Most likely you shipped the Cooler and it got bounced around a bit, experiencing enough G forces that caused the mount to damage either your mobo, or your mount itself. If it damaged your mobo, you will need to buy a new one.

Pros: Wasnt that bad of a install. Looked like it could get the job done.

Cons: For two weeks it kept my core i7 960 at 30c ran 44c underload. Moved to Germany, took it out, looked it over; and made sure everything was ok. All the hardware was green to go. Noticed temps Idle around 48c. Ran prime 95 and the cpu jumped up to 98c! wow!
I tried to take off the cpu fan and noticed the last screw just wouldn't come off at all, kept turning and turning. well shoot!

Other Thoughts: Now im looking into water cooling. I spent good money on such a product that I though would be great, but no such luck.
I can't RMA it since I dont have the box....keeping stuff while in the army is tough.

Just disappointed.

Pros: Cools a Phenom II 1055T under Prime 95 Torture Test to a max of 43 under load. Idle is 23. This is on a LIan Li PC-P80 with seven fans though. Very quiet!

Cons: It is large, on my Lian Li PC-P80 it fits nicely but on a mid size case it could be very tight.

Other Thoughts: Very good quality and value. It was not hard at all to install.

Pros: Looks really cool!
Seems to keep temps low.
I have not overclocked this processor.
Price is right.
Need really large case to fit this into it.

Cons: Installed on a Cooler Master HAF 932 case.

Had to trim the computer case under the motherboard/processor to allow the bracket on the back of the motherboard to fit.

Other Thoughts: I used a Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor.

Pros: This thing keeps everything cool. Its really quiet. The fan controller knob on the back makes its a really nice addition to most any case. I use this cooler on an AMD motherboard and works wonders I can touch the CPU cooler and its cool to the touch even with my amd 965 black CPU OC'ed to 4ghz. Even at full load with all 4 cores this baby didnt go past 44c and that is with the CPU cooler fan running at 1800 rpms. My case might have a lot to do with it i have a Cooler Master HAF 932. Nonetheless and awesome CPU cooler and great for over clocking. It has 4 different sets of fins on it and they go different ways which makes it primo for cooling.

Cons: A few bad things. This thing is HUGE. And by HUGE i mean the size of a cantaloupe. I knew it was going to be big but that thing is just ridiculously HUGE.
* I was hoping for an indicator light of some sort to at least tell you its on or receiving power as you cant see the fan moving because of the angle it sits at.
* The mounting screws do seem a little flimys and i did need a little help holding the motherboard in place while mounting it. The mounting plate seems a little odd that there are springs on the Intel bracket but not on the AMD. Kind of odd if you ask me.
* The fan controller knob is a very nice touch. Only problem i see is how many people really go to the back of their fan to control the speed anyhow? It would have been a better idea to put it on the front in a 5.25 bay. I mean really.

Other Thoughts: This is a great CPU cooler for overclocking. I would definitely suggest to a friend and i would definitely buy another one. Make sure you motherboard and tower have enough room for this big boy it is really, really BIG. It attached nice a neat. I needed a little help to hold the motherboard when i attached it definitely a 2 person job. Be sure you have another open slot in the back for the fan controller knob. Its a nice option just wish they would have put it in the front instead of the back.

Pros: It looks cool, and works. My i7 930 idles at 24C (according to the BIOS) and according to real temp the core idles at 40C.

Cons: My i7 930 with a full load at max fan speed runs a temp of 74C with some IC Diamond Thermal Paste... WAY 2 hot for me, especially at STOCK CPU speeds.

Other Thoughts: Been doing some messing around in my BIOS (evga FTW3) and it seems that when I run my 1600 ram at 1066, my CPU temp drops ALOT! Like, into the 60's at full load.... so im currently trying to figure out what is going on, and airflow is not the issue, I guarantee it.

Pros: Install was easy though the i7 brackets are not readily identified it's easy enough as their the only ones not marked. Torque them gently it's a mobo not an engine block. Outperforms liquid systems in the lower priced liquid system market. CPU rarely reached 48 celcius (920 i7 2.66 Ghz)

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: None

Pros: It brought my CPU temps from 58c down to 31c so im very happy with it. Love the screws to securely bolt down the heatsink, I hate those plastic turn nobs.

Cons: Had to take out MOBO to install but not Heatsinks fault.

Other Thoughts: Highly suggest it, it maybe big but it does the job, it left about 1-1.5 of space from my side case to the heatsink, so make sure your case can take this beast, my dad laughed when he saw the label V8 it reminded him of a car! lol.

Pros: Bought this for my new AMD build and no regrets. Cools as advertised, looks beautiful, and the installation was a breeze. All one has to do is follow the pictured instructions....a real no brainer. Not over priced for what you get.

Cons: Has an attached fan controller that goes in one of the rear expansion slots....it is reachable though if you need it.

Other Thoughts: Wished I bought one sooner. Thanks Cooler Master.

Pros: Keeps the cpu cool enough (50c under heavy load) and does it quietly.
Looks very nice in my system.

Cons: The screws that attach the mounting brackets are really small and fragile. They stripped out and the cooler fell right off of the mounting brackets onto my video card. Luckely nothing else got damaged. It's a real shame that the low quality mounting system makes this product a complete waste of money.

Other Thoughts: I have a lot of Cooler Master products that work well so i hate to write such a bad review.
