Step up from your stock cooling fan and heatsink to the MassCool 8W553B1M3. Designed for use with value-driven Intel processors including Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, Pentium D as well as Celeron D. The aluminum base and heatsink provide the cooling performance you need to keep your desktop running at its peak.
A long-life, ball bearing 90mm fan quickly draws heat away from the cooler's fins at a lively 2,400rpm. The standard 3-pin connector delivers broad compatibility to your motherboard. Keep your CPU frosty in the hottest action with the Masscool 8W553B1M3!
Pros: PROS: I don’t know about you, but probably the most annoying thing about building a new PC, for me, is fighting the horrible installation engineering of many Intel, AMD, and third-party CPU coolers. The plastic screws or push pins which require inordinate force (and it usually seems, even once you get the hang of it, three go in and one stays out, and you may have to start over, which sometimes isn’t easy, either), the scraped knuckles, the feeling that the CPU or mobo will surely crack under the pressure or that capacitors will be sent flying when the tool slips, all call out for a simpler, easier-to-install design that for some reason eludes a number of hardware makers. Masscool has it. Slip the metal mounting through the bracket holes from behind the mobo, set the cooler on top of the bracket, easily turn four *metal* screws on top of the cooler with an ordinary screwdriver, attach the power connector and fanspeed monitor, and you’re done.

Cons: CONS: Before ordering, check carefully to be sure your CPU is supported. Quad cores aren’t. (Move up the Masscool line for a Quad Core cooler.)
Your mobo must be removed from the case to install this cooler, because the bracket to which the fan is attached is installed from the back of the mobo. Of course, this is only an issue if you are upgrading your cooler on an existing system and wouldn’t otherwise have to remove the mobo from the case, and if that applies to your situation, this cooler may be more trouble than it’s worth. On a new system, **as long as you remember to install the Masscool bracket before mounting the mobo in the case**, it’s not an issue at all.
Other Thoughts: Cooling paste is already in place on the bottom of the fan, so don’t add it to the CPU unless you first remove the OEM paste on this CPU cooler.

Pros: This keeps my CPU about 10 degrees centigrade cooler then the stock fan that came with my Core 2 Duo E6420
Cons: Had to remove motherboard to put in bottom plate. Not a con to me, it was well worth it.

Other Thoughts: Kind of loud, but i have a thousand other fans to dull out the noise of it

Just what I needed

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The cooler was very inexpensive yet seems well made. I wanted a cooler that screws into a back plate rather than the cheap push pin model and this one worked just fine.
Cons: None for my needs.
Other Thoughts: I ordered three of these to have a couple extra for spares and I'm glad I did. I bought a few that had the push-pin design and was highly disappointed. This cooler was the way to go.
