Product Reviews

You should know before your purchase
I do not expect a customer review to include the level of detail that professional reviews have on this particular item. However, it will fit in a midtower case, only if there is no fan in the side panel. Be absolutely sure it will fit in your midtower case. Use a measuring device. I want to return it, but now there is grease on it, the package contents is open, and the box it came in is mutilated. You cannot remove the cooler neatly from the box without tearing up the box.

Pretty Darn Good Cooler
I bought this CPU cooler knowing that its the only one that fits well in a mid-tower case - 156mm compared to 160 or taller - and doesn't cover any RAM slots on Asus P6T Deluxe. Packaging contains everything needed - Heatsink, 120mm Fan, Mounting clips, Thermalright Chill Factor Thermal Paste and a sticker. After spending about 20 minutes installing - manual is worthless - I have to take a star for the mounting system. It can be a pain and you have to figure out how to mount it, which is annoying - the cooler may slide a bit on the thermal paste and its hard to center it, the push-pin system overall sucks - you have to keep it locked, so it goes thru at first, unlock it, push down and then lock it, so it spreads the plastic pins. Took me a while. Overall performance increase was expected - idle fell 15*c, fan is pretty quiet for its size. Max load temps fell 20*c. Im still keeping the CPU stock, but the True Spirit should be enough to keep it cool.

I recommend it to everyone who looks for a good cooling performance for light overclocks at a great price.
