Pros: Used it on my AM2 CPU for 5 months and it worked great. Just bought a Q6600 and it cut 25 degrees celsius off the stock cooler! Being able to use this heatsink on AMD or Intel is awesome.

Cons: Fins are a little sharp, but no big deal. I kind of like staring at the little cuts on my knuckles the day after wrestling it into place. :)

Overall Review: I applied Arctic Silver 5 according to the instructions perfectly (one thin line on the cpu) and my Q6600 cant break 50 celsius with prime95 small FFTs on all cores. Sweet.

Pros: - Cools really well! There is a face-off article on hexus that puts the Mine up there with the big boys!
- It's easy to install using intel's push pins
- Not as wide as other HSFs
- Fits most MOBOs
- Very Silent

Cons: - Apparently it doesn't fit some small GA boards (DS3R)
- It is still big, case clearance must be checked.
- "Manual" is poor

Overall Review: Q6600 G0, Abit IP35 Pro, Mushkin 2x2gb, Corsair 620HX, CM690, MSI 8600GTS
My Q6600 OCed to 3ghz is running 30C idle and 51 under load!
Using AC5 thermal compound (not the one included).

Pros: Mounted on my Gigabyte P35 DS4P motherboard and Intel Core Duo E6850 without any fuss. Not overly large, runs very quiet. Quiet was most important for me. Processor running at about 39C.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I did a LOT of research before choosing this CPU cooler. It was not rated the absolute quietest or lowest temperature cooler, but it seemed to be very good in both categories without being the height of a skyscraper. I am extremely pleased.

Pros: Quiet, great job cooling my CPU (~8 degrees cooler than stock CPU cooler), I think it looks nice

Cons: Large. Make sure your case can hold it.

Pros: Great price, it rocks just like newegg. It really cools down the temp for cpu and the entire system. comparing it with the original inte fan, this is like heaven and hell. it really cut the noise. get this one, you will know you make the right decision.

Cons: It works great, but its size is a little problem to some peoeple, maybe. It is huge, so you better have a huge case to fit it in.

Pros: Cooling, just wow. It keeps my 3.10Ghz Pentium 4 Presscot at about 38c idle, so its pretty good, its about 2 degrees cooler then my 2.53Ghz Northwood, so I'm happy. It also kept the overall heat down alot to, about 5-7c.

Cons: Its big, Like...realllly big, no, its Gigantor!! Biggest heatsink i've ever used, I'm using a small case, and got clearance for the door, it was about 1-2cm away....

Oh...its big.

And, the fins are really flimsy, like bad, they bent up just coming out of the box, so watch out.

Overall Review: I would buy it again, it fits a lot of sockets and the 478 socket brackets work great, no problems except putting the brackets on the heatsink is tough.

Pros: I almost did not buy this HSF because of all the bad reviews.... am I glad I did not listen. I installed the HSF on my Asus M2NBP-VM CSM and it is 100% compatible, even faces the correct way with the exhaust towards the back. The mounting mechanism is very simple. I was able to install the HSF in 30 seconds without removing my motherboard (Socket AM2). My 100% load temp is now as high as the idle temps with my stock cooler. I have a AMD 4600+ and my idle temp is 1C over ambient temp 29C and 40C at 100% load on both cores.
Did I mention that the HSF is very quite, I have the ASUS fan control enabled which idles the fan at ~750rpm. I'm so glad I did not buy the loud and HEAVY Zalman fan.

Cons: I can't believe it is cheap, lighter then others and has no cons.....

Pros: great shape and design and well constructed.

Cons: should be clear that only has 3wire fan and is NOT compatable with the newer LGA775 standard 4wire speed control.

Overall Review: a clearer picture would have saved me $$$
