On the installation, it's an annoying one if you have a top mounted PSU. After finding two way to have things in the way of mounting it, I found out that if your mobo is already mounted, you need to put your PSU in first, slide it all the way over to the optical drive, then mount the CCF. It's still frustrating that way and it would probably be easier if you mount it on the mobo while the mobo is outside the case, put the PSU in and slide it over, and then put the mobo in.
Edit: Oh yeah and congrats on the new build

Hmmm, not sure where you are coming up with your 2 better options, or the fact it falls behind the Xigmatek HDT-S1283. The Nocuta w/ fan settings on high ran hotter than the CCF on low settings! The CCF on high fan settings killed it by 3.5C on 85W, over 5C on 150W. The CCF also performs better than the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 by 0.7C, not much, but for an overclocker thats almost 1C!!!

It's not $15 anymore, and surely wasn't when I bought it @ around $30, which is where it is now! But even @ that price, for the performance this cooler delivers, it's one of the best on the market!

It falls a little behind the Xigmatek HDT-S1283, but if it only costs you ~$15 at the end of the day, I say go for it. You still getter tremendously better cooling compared to stock (which will allow for higher overclocks), plus you can save the money for a sound card or something. |

It's a good cooler, but FrostyTech is overrating it

This. Frostytech is the worst chart to look at to compare CPU coolers...I mean they have two 92mm Xiggy heatsinks and the Zalman 9700 within 1.5c of a TRUE on a Quad...really?
Synthetic charts don't mean anything
