Don't buy, waste of money. For that much, just spend a little more and go watercooling and still get a lot better temps.

I had an Ultra Chilltec for a while. It was okay but it wasn't worth the price, with coolers like the Thermalright Ultra 120 on the market which has similar performance for much less. Also I found the Chilltec a big pain to install and remove due to its bulky design. To get a screw driver in to screw in or unscrew the mounting screws was a real challenge.

I have Ultra Chilltec on my AMD X2 6000+ and it keeps constant 30C ~ 35C

I'm really satisfy with it.

What speeds are you running the chip at. That is actually pretty good for such a hot processor.

As everyone has said, don't get that.

You could get a nice cooler and have extra money to upgrade a part for rig or something, or go watercooling.
