Review By Robert (Millbrae, CA) :
Bought this from one of the resellers, i'am using it on i7 860 chip. This is one of the few coolers that has a bracket for the 1156 socket. The unit comes with two 120mm
Noctua fans. I only used one and used the other to replace an Antec case fan that came with the case.
With no OC, the idle temp ranges 24-27°C. Using an Asus P7P55D motherboard and using their auto OC tuning, idle temp range jumps up about 10°C. Have only had this build up and running for two days, so I have not had a chance to do much testing. I'm not a gamer, so it should be more than adequate cooling for my needs. And it's quiet-really quiet.
Caution: this is a large heat sink and will not fit in some cases. I'm using an Antec P-183 case and have about an inch clearance between the top of the cooler and the case cover.
Review By Upsididdle :
Not only did this CPU cooler work better than the stock Intel cooler it was whisper quiet even though it has two fans. Although the cooler is heavy its motherboard backplate gives it a firm base.
The cooler attaches firmly to the CPU with well designed hardware. Aside from the exception below, the product manual and installation directions are excellent. The only negative is that the pictures and directions for attaching the wire clips that hold the fans in place are not clear. But the clips work well once you figure out how to attach them.
