KINGWIN XT-1264 120mm Xtreme Direct H.T.C. (Heat-pipe Touch Chip) CPU Cooler w/ 1366 Bracket

Pros: Cools like a champ, came with all the accessories needed, seems to be built really well. I have used this now for over a year, and have my quad core overclocked over 10% (3.0 oc'd to 3.4) and I still idle at around 35 c. I never get above 55c even running Prime95. Fan and heatsink is HUGE!!! Be warned.

Cons: Didn't cook me pancakes with blueberry syrup

Other Thoughts: This thing is gigantic...no really!!!! Make sure your case will fit this. Check multiple dimensions. Think ahead...memory, gpus, hdds, cabinets in your home, where you park the car...it's that big.

Pros: Cheap! Does the Job temperature went down 25C comparing to the stock i have on E8400 and E7200. Highly recommended

Cons: Installing the fan can be tricky but doable

Other Thoughts: Make sure you have enough space in your case its quite tall

Pros: Quiet, works well, and with room to OC. I have had it in two cases, in a Rosewill Blackbone Black Steel case I had my 955BE @ 3.6 ghz, never went above 52c under extreme stress testing prime95, in my Cooler Master HAF 932 case, I have it @ 4.0 ghz, under extreme stress testing it gets up to 58, 60c, 62c is the procs max temp, that being said under HOURS of gaming it only gets up 53c at the most.

Cons: None, hands down this is a fantastic bargain. Just like most, watch it when installing, the fins are easily bent.
And on two deferent mobo's installation is a little hard, and I felt like I was bending the clamps.

Other Thoughts: Next build I am buying another, it replaced a XIGMATEK Dark Knight-S1283V and it completely out performed it. Not by much, but for half the price? Buy it.

Pros: Cools My 955 clocked @ 3.4ghz. to 32'c idle 60'c running prime95.
installs easy for AMD cpu. It took me about min.
Blows air out the back of the case

Cons: none for me

Other Thoughts: MSI 790XT-G45
AMD 955 cpu
2 ATI 4870 cards crossfired
corsair 750 watt ps
GeIL; DDR2 pc 8500 4x1GB.
2 samsung 500gb HDD in raid 0.
Thermaltake Suprano case (I removed front door for better air flow).

Pros: Big as can be. Beware of case size limitations. Installed in 4U Norco Case and barely fit. Cools nicely!

Cons: Should have a push pull system instead on just one fan. Would like to have seen that in play for the money.

Pros: Recommended. Allowed me to run my unlocked (4 cores) 550BE at full load (milkway@home and others) and stay below 40C absolute (+6 degrees delta from system temp).

Cons: The spring clips that "hold" the fan to the radiator assembly, are lightweight and not too convincing. Another, more secure, method would be preferred. Otherwise, it is a great cooler!

Pros: Excellent. Cooled my processor down 15deg C at rest and 25 deg C at full processor load. This is very impressive!

Cons: Tight fit in my Rosewill Cruiser mid tower. 1mm to spare with the side panel fan! Make sure you measure before ordering! Installation is simple if you are careful with those plastic pins

Other Thoughts: Super. Works very well. Good price. Probably best cooler in its price range

Pros: very nice cooler it keeps my pc about 10.c cooler
and ive got it set to run silent so if i was to set it like my older cooler it would be closer to 20.c cant even hear it

Cons: long

Other Thoughts: lol

Pros: - Keep my 1055T between 28C and 37C (idle/full).
- direct contact heatpipes (love it)
- Not too difficult to install.
- The fan can be EASILY replaced (a big plus see below)
- Great for the price

Cons: - Big (well not really a con..)
- Fan is noisy (but read below)

Other Thoughts: the cooling power is amazing! The fan was too loud in my pc since also I have 3 fan in line and if the first ones are faster than the last, they create more noise. So I had a silent 12cm fan used to cool hdds and used that as replacement of the stock one. Now my temps go from 28 to 40 but it's soooo more silent! Changing the fan was extremely easy the little metal clip go in their place so easily! Considering the result with a totally slower fan I'd say this cooler is a great choice, except my old ocz vendetta this is one of the best cooler I have ever used (and I have a passion for direct heatpipe contact, so I tested many of those). Really a good buy!!!

Also can I say that Newegg is amazing? I order things and they arrive in ONE DAY, even if the shipping is the standard 3 day. Having things so fast make my purchase experience even more great!

Pros: Cheap. Relatively quiet compared to others. It cools an e5200 OC'd to 3.6ghz. and is 10C cooler under load than an Intel HSF that came off a q6600 (the copper core one). Idle temp is 31C, max temp is 65C after all sorts of tests.

Cons: Big.. Tall.., but it needs to be. Make sure this will fit with your setup.

Other Thoughts: Just get it already. it is cheap and cools as well as many expensive options.

I removed the fan to install the heatsink as it makes it much easier to use the push pin clips that Intel MOBO's have.
