Default Arctic Freezer 7 Pro
5 Thumbs down for 1 whole hour of trying to get those push pin bloody things in and locked into the motherboard

! but the cooling is nice, 29c idle and 40c load @ 3.0ghz, im never ever buying a cooler with that pushy crap again. my fingers hurt and ive never wasted so much time on a heatsink..

LOL - I know exactly what you mean. I learned how to do it properly using the stock cooler.Have to admit, I'm very impressed with this HSF. I have a TT 120 in the other rig.

the top right pin thing is the most annoying, it's underneath the fan - heads up to anyone who installs this take off the fan first or put this thing in before you put the motherboard into the case D:

I installed it on the first shot. Just got to make sure it not already locked or maybe I just got lucky. Will know when I upgrade to the E2140 in a couple of weeks.

The freezer was awful for me, might have been a bad mount. It didn't take me any longer than 2 mins to install it..

I hate the 775 mounting system, it takes like 10 minutes and hurts your thumbs, and doesn't make ANY sence at all.

Yes it is the best <£15 cooler out just now for sure and gives some of the more expensive ones a damn good run for their money.

Anyone have a recommendation for a NB cooling compatible with the AC Freezer 7 on an Asus P5N-E SLI?
