At the hot interface within a heat pipe, a liquid in contact with a thermally conductive solid surface turns into a vapor by absorbing heat from the surface of heat source (CPU). The vapor condenses back into a liquid at the cold interface, releasing the latent heat. The liquid then returns to the hot interface through either capillary action or gravity action where it evaporates once more and repeats the cycle. Universal Applications - Brackets are includes for Intel Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Duo and AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual-Core, AMD Athlon 64 FX. Direct Core Contact Mechanics - By adapting the state of the art manufacture process, the 2 heat pipes have seamless direct contact with the heat source, which makes the heat absorbing quicker by the fluid to turn into vapor. |

Pros: My newest AMD processor came with one of the loudest fans I've ever encountered in all my years of building PCs. I mean it was BAD. I've never used an aftermarket cooler before, but clearly the time had come. I tried the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO first but it was just a little too tall to fit in the case (mid-sized tower, pretty standard, or so I thought). Oh well, we all make mistakes. After some additional research, I arrived at this cooler and decided to give it a try. I'm very glad I did! It's a tiny bit shorter, enough to make the difference so I can close my case. It's compatible with the AM3+ standard brackets, too, so I didn't have to pull out the motherboard. The fan, so far, is very quiet, and the cooling is a noticeable improvement over stock as well. It seems to hover around 35°C while idle, and I think it's shot up to 50°C, maybe a little more, during heavy use. That may or may not be acceptable to you, but I'm satisfied with the numbers. Anyway, if you're looking to replace a stock cooler and don't want to get too crazy about it, this is worth a shot.
Cons: Installation could have been a little easier, but it really wasn't all that bad. Definitely better than having to pull out the motherboard.
Overall Review: This comes with thermal paste on it, so keep that in mind during installation (unless you plan to remove it and apply your own later). I didn't bother applying my own, and the provided stuff seems to be doing the trick.
