Pros: Looks nice, supposedly easy to install, good price.

Cons: During the installation process (which I found to be much more difficult than the stock cooler), one of the 5 or 6 plastic tabs that hold the fan on broke. I figured, "no problem", until they proceeded to snap off with very little pressure on them.

Overall Review: I might have gotten one from a bad batch, but my unit was not at all acceptable.

Pros: I've been using the stock amd heatsink/fan and was suffering from constant bluescreens due to overheating. So, I ordered this, mainly because of the good price. My temps dropped a few degrees right after installation. After running a game that my old fan would start to scream on, this one kept cool and quiet. The installation, I should mention, is a DREAM. I wrestled with the stock cooler for at least 30 minutes, all while sweating in fear that I'd break my motherboard. Not this time. It took me all of five seconds to snap this cooler in place. No pushing hard on the motherboard, no injuring my fingers by pressing incredibly hard.

Cons: Cons? Nope.

Overall Review: Did I mention the easy installation? Wow. Amazing. I'd buy it again if I had another computer. It's got the same amount of noise that the stock amd cooler puts out, but as I said before, it didn't rev up to an unbelievable amount of noise when running intensive programs, unlike the stock cooling.

Pros: Bigger heatsink and fan than I expected. Does what its suppose to, very quiet. Wished it cooled the cpu better. I ended up getting the ASUS X-Mars 70mm Ball The Light Cooler for Dual-Core CPU hopeing it'll cool my dualcore x2 3800+ better than this one.

Cons: Doesn't cool too much. Kinda bulky almost touching my memory stick to the right.

Overall Review: Buy mainly for quietness. If you looking to cool your cpu by 10-20 degress look elsewhere. For the price you can't go wrong with this.

Pros: - Good bang for the Buck - Looks cool - Does it's job well

Cons: - For what it's designed for and it's price, none.

Overall Review: No this isn't the best CPU HSF out there, but it's also not meant to be. For it's price, it does a really good job. Lowers the CPU temps a few degrees over a stock HSF. It looks cool. If you've build quite a few rigs like I have, than you'll find this HSF easy to install, compared to other more complicated and "feel like your CPU is about to crack" styles.

Pros: My AMD Athlon 64 x2 4600+@2424@1.22v idles at 24c or 75f and both cores under load 41c or 106f.Silent.easy to put on looks OK.Heat pipes the bottom of it is smooth. Price is good.

Cons: not a con for some VARY close to the caps on my motherboard.

Overall Review: My old idle temp was 32c and under load it would be 61c.I didn't use the thermal paste that came with.I would buy it again if i need another

Pros: Heat pipes, pushes air like no heatsink I have seen. drop my temp. by 4-9 oC at normal cpu clocking

Cons: if you do overclock dont get this because this heatsink dose not keep it cool enough. the fan is loud at full speed but is a rare occasion at normal cpu speeds

Overall Review: I do overclock but I have an Athlon x2 so I dont plan on over clocking for a long wile

Pros: looks cool lowered my temps 2 degrees using a 3800 over clocked to 2.6 ....very quiet

Cons: needs to fit tighter to cpu little loose: it is on correctly. buy better themal compound

Pros: Low fan speed, high CFM. Sound of the fan is low. No problems with the installation.

Cons: None of importance. The bottom of the heatsink could have been smoother. It has microgrooves in it. With very high grit sandpaper, the bottom could be smoothed out.

Overall Review: Keeps my AMD x2 3800 (65w)stock speed and voltage, idle temp is @ 22c. With the cpu overclocked to 2700MHz and voltage @ 1.4, idle temp is @ 35c, full load using Prime 95 is @ 50c.
