Nice cooler, impatient installer

This review is from: ZALMAN CNPS10X FLEX CPU Cooler
Pros:
The unit performs beautifully. It's silence (my goal), it looks cool (no pun intended) and it's a decent price.
Cons:
I consider myself a relatively calm person. But honestly, you're going to want to put the kids to bed before you start to install this thing. I trouble with screw length, screw-driver length, screw-driver thickness and steady hands. Additionally, the sticky pad they give to hold things together just wasn't working. The installation is the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5. It brought me to explatives. But in the end, it was worth it.
Overall Review:
Make sure you have a long thin screwdriver you can use to work for you. I installed a different manufacturers heatpipe, and they sent one with the unit which I ended up using for this installation. Additionally, as everyone said before me, measure twice. It's a big unit, and it needs it's space. I installed mine with a single 120mm fan right next to the out vent fan in the back of the case. temp went from 50 to 39.
