Fantastic cooler. On lowest speed 1140RPM) my 6600 Quad runs at 46C with all four cores at 90% load during NLE transcoding. At high speed/high load it's 38C. 26C at idle and low speed.
The bracket behind the board is a pain to line up but it is set and forget.
Fits on the Abit P35 Pro MB.
Does the job.
The fan on this thing is real whiny, even at low RPM. I bought this to get a quiet cooler, but the fan does ruin things.
CPU runs much hotter than I thought it would. Core temperatures idle at 50C and go up to 68C under full load - before overclocking. At 3.2Ghz core temperatures go up to 76C under load.
I admit I'm not an expert at this, and ended up attaching the fan three times to try to lower the core temps, thinking I might not have attached the fan properly to the CPU. The final try I am confident I did everything right, but the CPU temps stay the same. I used the MX2 thermal compound.
The cooler doesn't seem to clamp down very strongly to the CPU. I can jiggle it around after attaching it. Not sure if that means anything.
The fins on this thing stay super cool, and I can run the fan at low RPM even after OC'ing my Q9450 to 3.2 Ghz.
