I finally got it! It finally arrived! lol
Its big, its heavy, its not lapped good... oh wait.. thats not a compliment.. lol
I just put it on the cpu and it works pretty good. It came with 2 fans (the more expensive package that I didn't even order!) and they work 'OK', they're not high CFM fans, but they're quiet. When I get into windows, the cpu temp is about 32c, now when I load in, its only 27-28. The idle has moved up to just a bit above room temp, 20c. The Northbridge is still at 18c (1c above room temp).
I just want to warn everyone about this cooler, its not very well lapped. The area that contacts the core looks like [email protected] You should lap this heatsink before you put it on. Also, the fan holders are very, VERY flimsy. Cheap metal thats not even connected at the bottom, but I think I'll make something to stablize it. Weighs in at about 800g with both aluminium fans (included). They did consider to throw in a very nice support for the back of the motherboard. Very thick and sturdy, and has nice teflon area that contacts the motherboard.
In the reviews I read, they say that this isn't a very good cooler, I don't agree with that... although... It is a bit of an improvement from my stock... but anywho.. heres some pictures to go with it!
EDIT* I'll post the pictures in a few minutes, my digital eats up the batteries toooo quickly!
