Pros: Inexpensive. Larger than stock sink. 80mm fan with high air flow. Very quiet. Worked very well with Arctic Silver ceramique too, just followed directions at their site.

Cons: With my Socket A Barton 2600+ getting the connectors on while keeping the sink on all 4 pads is a little tricky. Make sure you don't do what I did first time I put it on: push it to the edge. Then the sink is off of 2 of the pads and you have to start over.

Overall Review: For the cost this appears to be a very very good deal. I am at about 5000 ft elevation in south west U.S. and it gets upwards of 100 degrees here. My old stock combo fan died so I bought this to replace it and I can again enjoy my processor at 2 ghz all day and that's before the 25 hours of full cycle "burn in" (Artic Silver Ceramique mentioned) has completed.

Pros: Cools very well. Very quiet fan. Heat-sink compound included works fine cooling. AMD 2800+ Barton stays @ 118 degrees F. Easy install with slotted screwdriver - heat-sink clamp required little force, or angle, securing it to the CPU\socket A mount - little, if any, chance for a screwdriver to slip and ruin the mobo.

Cons: Was not free and had to pay for shipping! Newegg has unmitigated gall! (NO cons - naw, newegg is the best on the 'net).

Overall Review: A very, very good value. Never worried about damaging mobos\CPU's - Use just a dab of compound on the CPU and it spreads by itself. I found myself installing and un-installing it, just because it was so easy and just because I could. Talk about empowerment at a low price! (Actually, had to test a fair number of CPU's\mobos - felt very safe with this heat-sink).

Comments: Keep my TB1.2G around 50c...running so quietly and you can barely hear anything.
