As CPU processing power increases, so does the need to remove the damaging heat that increased power generates. Nowhere is this more apparent than with overclocked processorsrunning beyond their original specifications. This case is Intel Socket LGA775 or AMD Socket AM2/939/754), and now Intel Core i7 and Core i7 Extreme Edition Ready! The last thing a computer enthusiast wants when designing their machine, though, is to cap it off with an ugly cooler.
Thermaltake has long led the pack in CPU cooling, with many of its cooling strategies being adopted by others. They develop breakthrough, supremely functional designs with an extra element of style. Its all-copper construction provides maximum efficiency in conducting damaging heat away from the CPU. A group of four heatpipes draw heat upward from the mirror-finished base which lies in perfect contact with the chip.
The array of dissipation fins enables the 110mm fan to easily move 86.5CFM at 2000RPM by creating multiple air intake points. The speed can be adjusted to balance the cooling performance and the already low 24dBA noise level. The blue LED lights within the fan add a stylish glow against the copper surfaces enhancing the appearance of your system.

Pros: I have a full tower case from 1995 that I refuse to get rid of (it has all my stickers on it!) so it's not designed for any kind of air cooling. My Athlon X2 5600+ 85W ran from 50c-65c and the stock fan made way too much noise. I installed this and the temps now sit near 38c-50c. Fan noise, on max, is negligible (spins at 1200rpm on max setting at idle, can go higher if need be).
Cons: It is large and was difficult to install. I had to remove my power supply to be able to install the mounting lever and had a difficult time getting the connector onto the motherboard (had to do the "grab the wire and try to push it on" technique). Since you only install this once in a while it was worth the effort. Also, the thing does not tell you which way the air blows so I had to turn it on once to find out (the air blows towards the side with the wires).

No problem with the Core i7 LGA1366 by me!

Pros: Keeps my Core i7 extreme 965 between 29-48 Celcius depending on load using Artic Silver.
Cons: It is large, make sure you have space.
Other Thoughts: I'm writing this because others have had problems with the LGA 1366 adapter. I was freaking out because I read it after my order was on the way and I was building a computer for somebody who needed it fast. Well, all I can say is I had no problems with a Thermaltake Xaser VI (a huge case) and an EVGA X58 motherboard. My recommendations? Always install the heatsink before you install the motherboard in the case. Even if you already have the motherboard in and you're just upgrading the heatsink, remove the motherboard. Make sure you're discharged (I use a plugged in PSU with the power off) and start by getting the pushpins slightly in the holes (after putting thermal grease, of course). With the palm of your hand underneath the motherboard right below the processor, push in two of the pushpins that are DIAGONAL FROM EACH OTHER until you hear the click and are able to see underneath that they are pushed in. Then, push in the other two. If you don't, they won't push in.

Pros: I have not seen my phenom II 955 get hotter then 43c while running games not any louder then the fan on the dresser about 4 feet behind me, also fits very well in my antec 900
Cons: if you have a small case i would say to take the motherboard out befor you install the fins are very sharp and if you are not careful they will cut your finger(trust me i know)
Other Thoughts: im using arctic silver 5

Good for dual cores--too expensive though

Pros: This is a very good CPU heatsink for those using dual core LGA775 and LGA1156 processors. It ran my E2200 at 3.15GHz for a long time with decent temperatures. The all copper construction is nice, it isn't too loud, and the base is well machined.
Cons: First off the push-pin mounting system is a pain. Any heatsink this massive should have a backplate and screws, rather than Intel's ridiculous push-pins.
Also, this heatsink costs far more than it's worth. If you bought this for $40 it would be a good deal; but for $62 there are far better choices on the market. A Prolimatech Megahalems only costs $65 (though fans would push that up another $10-30). For the price you'd be better off with a Xigmatek Dark Night or some such.
Other Thoughts: This cooler is not sufficient for more than a mild overclock of a quad core processor. At 4GHz 1.208V my Q9550 hit 80C during Prime95; far too hot. At 3.4GHz I can undervolt and run extremely cool, but that's because I have a very good chip. For the majority of people trying to get more than 3.5GHz on a 45nm quad they should look elsewhere.

great cooler

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great cooler! I bought this to replace a brand new 'other brand' cooler that wouldn't fit on my board because of the type of install, so push pins were the way to go for me. The pins themselves popped right in without too much trouble, and are holding the cooler securely on my 775 socket. I changed from a stock intel cooler to this, along with changing over cases too. i dont know how much of it is all the extra case fans, and how much is the cooler, but stock temps dropped 13 degrees immediately (lower than ambient room temp), and the blue led/design is nice to look at through my side panel
Cons: Big. May be too big for some cases, but then that's your fault if it doesn't fit and not the manufacturers. Some say it doesn't conduct heat at all. Keep in mind there is such a thing as too much thermal paste that can hinder conductivity. I used a very very thin layer which i spread around with a piece of cardboard I ripped off the box, and none on the cooler base itself. Like I mentioned above, stock temps dropped from 36c to 23c at idle with the fan speed at it's lowest.
Other Thoughts: Great cooler, im really happy with my purchase. Cools and looks terrific in my case. Props to thermaltake
