I see some members on here with that cooler and their CPUs are overclocked so i guess they can hold their own. As for refurbished CM products i thought my CM690 was new i couldn't tell it was refurbished at all.

I saw you were also in the club, it's amazing how well they fixed whatever was wrong with the case i read on their site or somewhere it said that they fix the problem to make sure it meets their standards, it seems like my CM690 exceeded their standards lol.

basiaclly with the coolers, all they do is replace the fan, and that makes it refurbed. still a great product I use the refurbed PSUs, great price, quality, and they're great for folding
