Keep your cool with the Rosewill RCX-Z4 CPU cooling system. This high efficiency system uses a 122x160x114.5mm heat sink with a 120mm fan attached to disperse heat transferred by three 8mm heat pipes from the solid copper contact block. The kit comes with mounting hardware for Intel LGA-775 and AMD-Socket 754, 939, AM2 CPUs.
The manually controlled fan spins at 1000 rpm lifespan. The fan speed controller attaches unobtrusively to the case in an unused expansion card slot. The large size also helps to keep the noise down to a quiet 15-29.8dBA, depending on speed.
Pros: Well to start, this cooler is one of the best I have worked with. This is my fifth build in eight years and I have never been more pleased with a cooler. Paired this with a E7200 and I have a weak OC at 3.0ghz at the moment. It idles at 31C.
Cons: Only real cons I can think of were the tedious installation. I got this cooler because it came with a bundle with my CPU and I did not want to use the stock cooler. Many people did not give this that great of reviews, so I did not know what to expect going in. It is preconfigured for use with Socket AM2, so you have to switch out the mounting unit for socket 775 (not a big deal though). Only other Con is that it is huge and made connecting the 24 pin power connector to my motherboard a hassel. Then again, I would rather the cooler be huge, so I guess thats not really a con.
Other Thoughts: My suggestion to you before installing this is to look at your motherboard layout. I made the mistake of mounting and installing the heatsink before mouting the motherboard, which is what some reviews suggested. My recommendation would be to install the mounting for the heatsink onto the motherboard, then mount the motherboard, and finally, screw down the heatsink. One reason I think this cooler got some bad reviews is because the installation needs to be done properly, and I can see why people have some high temps if they did not install it 100% correctly. The cooler is fastened in by 4 thumb screws which may appear tight by screwing them in with your hand. A tool should be used to make them extra tight to ensure that it is flush with the CPU (all 4 screws should be equally tight as well). Also, the thermal paste that came with it looks very cheap. I suggest investing in some better thermal compound. I would buy another though, this cooler is great.

Pros: I switched out CPU fans a couple days ago.. and I have to keep checking to make sure my CPU is on because it's so darn quiet! (With the fan speed controller at halfway, and keeps my CPU at a cool 31 C) I got this coupled with the processor I was going to get, and it ended up costing me only $20!
Cons: Little odd shaped... I like it tho. Took some maneuvering to fit it the way I wanted to, but, its just so darn quiet and beautiful.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It cools ok...
Cons: It has a 120mm fan but the heat spreaders only cover 120mm x 90mm, so 30mm of the fan blow on nothing.
it installs funny, but goes on.
All CPU coolers should come with dust screens.
Other Thoughts: I'll be replacing mine now that I know what I'm doing I know what to look for in a cooler and this one is entry level and not for any type of over clocking.

Pros: Keeps my Phenom II X 2 550 at 30c idle offset so you can mount it two diff ways depending on layout of your motherboard price
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I consider this the best cpu cooler I have had and I would never have guessed that since it was almost free lol. Temps are lower than my previous Zalman 9500.
