Thermaltake CLP0574 120mm Jing CPU Cooler

Pros: This is really an amazing cooler. First, let me tell you my real-life example, not some random tests. With the stock Intel cooler, my CPU idled at 45 degrees celcius, and went to 80-85 degrees celcius under load(Using Intel Burn Test)! With this cooler in place, I idle in the high 20's, and only go up to the high 50's under full load!(Fans turned on high. On low, it's about a 5 degree difference) If I "Lapped" my thermalpaiste, I could've easialy gotten 5 degrees cooler. This cooler is amazing, truely. It's pretty cheap for this preformance(Who needs water cooling with this?) and it's also super quiet, even on high speed, unlike the Frio. (Only a little louder than the stock Intel fan) The Frio only runs 10 degrees cooler than this, so unless you're at 120 degrees, get the Jing. :p

Cons: Well, only the size. I have a Thermaltake V3 VL80001W2Z, and this clears the side with a few cm to spare. My case is 7.5 inches wide, so anything smaller, don't buy this(Sorry) Other than that, nothing.

Overall Review: If you're an overclocker and need more than the stock Intel/AMD cooler, get this. Amazing price, keeps your processor super cool, and it's just about as quiet as the stock cooler. 5 Eggs. :)

Pros: Expensive, give you an option to you spend your extra money on it

Cons: Not quiet, even it only has 1 fan ran at all. I also minmize the speed of fan.
If you turn both fans on, it runs louder because the noise from airflow.

Performance isn't good.
My 2500k stays at 43+ C at stock speed with 1 fan on( lowest speed).
load is about 61-67C, depends on the task.

Sorry, I really expect more for a $65 CPU fan (before MIR)

Overall Review: I bought this one to replace XIGMETEK Dark Knight due to that one runs loud with stock fan.

After I tried both of them, the XIGMETEK beat this "Jing" hard in term of heat transfer.
THe XIGMETEK Dark Knight has much better transfer rate compare to this JING.

I measure it by both run without any fans.
The Dark Knight has 10 degree lower in first 10 mins.
It's siginficant number to ask Thermaltek engineers work harder.

the other way to compare it is more simple,
Just touch the heatsink after u shut your computer down, the Dark Knight is much warmer compare to "Jing" which is a little warm

Anyway, it's up to your choice.

my buid:
CPU: 2500k
