Pros: Very efficient cooling! Stock HSF ran at 41C idle on C2D E4300. Now at 28C w/Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F 120mm Fan. Max load running TAT 47C. Awesome!
Cons: Do your homework on this...HSF is very heavy. Highly recommend extra support for top of HSF on vertically aligned MB's. I didn't kill my MB, but I think I just got lucky. I experienced MB flex failure after 2 weeks of unsupported HSF. I wired to the top of the case and no failures for 2+ days and counting. Keeping fingers crossed.
Overall Review: Cooling wise this is a great product worth every penny. From an engineering perspective it should have some additional support designed into it. The back plate works great, but PCB's just aren't designed to support this much weight on the end of a lever. It's simple physics.
