Pros: It took three days to receive this cooler and so far so good,It lowered my pc by about 12c and looks great!
Cons: It has a small winding noise,but you have to pay close attention to hear it but not a big cons for me and Led's are not to bright for people who want bright Led's.
Overall Review: I did have to take off mobo to install it,but it was not a big deal for me.
thermal grease included.
Pros: very awesome heatsink. nice blue light. keeps my amd x4 955 nice and cool.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I was afraid I might have trouble with the installation after reading the other reviews, but it was a no brainer lol.

Pros: Huge cooling area. High quality construction. Heat transfer paste is already applied to the cooler. It works! Keeps my CPU between 24 and 28C at all times.
Cons: Instructions consist of a picture on the side of the box. AMD CPU's require you to unscrew the INTEL base plate and attach the included AMD base plate which is easy to do once you have figured out that's what you HAVE to do. The CPU fan (in the center of the cooler) is variable speed and at the highest speed (when temps start to climb as determined by the MB), it can get a little bit loud for an HTPC case in my opinion.
Overall Review: It's a good quality product and is packed nicely in it's box with styrofoam and plastic to protect it. The installation instructiion (a single drawing/picture) are written for experts. Oh, by the way, many CPU manufacturers will void the warrantee if you use an aftermarket CPU cooler.
Pros: Very good temps on my interim processor. 26-31 degrees (upper range is full load)on an overclocked AMD 2650-LE running at 2.7Ghz (up from an original 1.6Ghz). On an ASUS M3A78-EM I found the install very easy,suitable for a beginners skill level.
Cons: Absolutely none whatsoever. Flawless installation,only way easier is if it jumped out of the box and installed itself.
Overall Review: My new AMD 550 BE is on the way and I will be updating w/ a new review. I hope to be pushing to the high 3Ghz ranges by weeks end,and will definetely be giving this piece a real work out suitable to it's capabilities. I'll let u guys know if I'm impressed or not. :^)) So far....so good.
Pros: Quiet, stock fan is blue, super easy to swap out fans, nice look, copper base and pipes. My athlon 2 is oc'd to 3.5Ghz and under no load with cool n quiet enabled it idles at 14C. Under full load the cpu temp stays around 28C.
Cons: It's a little wide so some boards might have problems with space and memory sticks.
Overall Review: It didn't fit on my board at first but all I had to do was slightly bend three fins to make room for the memory. Can't see those fins anyway. Again, I can't stress how quiet this thing is!
