Seems like a good replacement for the stock intel cooler, if it was $15-20 cheaper I could see it being competitive against other cheap heatsinks.
After all it didn't really do much better than the stock intel heatsink. gotdamojo06

Yes, I understand you don't want to bad mouth any product you receive to review, but a little honesty would be nice.
Pro's...........performance ???? Come on. Who in their right mind would spend $50 on a cooler that ran 80c at a 3.33 GHz OC, just barely beating a stock cooler. When it doesn't measure up, say so, people will then at least respect the review and the time and trouble of doing it. -------------------- E8400 @ 4.165 Ghz 1.28v, Asus P5KC , Scythe Ninja+, 8 GB's HyperX 1066, EVGA 8800GT, 150 Velociraptor, 640 7200.11 i7 860 @ 4.0 GHz 1.30v(LLC enabled), Gigabyte P55-UD4P, Mega Shadow, 4 GB's GSkill DDR3-1600, Patriot Torqx 128 GB, MSI GTX275  |

The way that I see it, yes the performance is a positive
The point of an aftermarket cooler is to do better than the stock cooler, which it was able to do. No it does not bring the temperatures down to somewhere like watercooling or a higher performance aircooler would, however it gets the job done and does better than the stock cooler. --------------------  #1 (Personal) - Q9450| ASUS Maximus Extreme| 2 x 1GB Geil DDR3| Tuniq MiniPlant 950W| HD4870| WD 500GB HDD| Cooler Master Storm Sniper W/ Custom Watercooling #2 (Benching) - E8400| Foxconn BlackOPS| 2 x 2GB Patriot DDR3| Cooler Master 800W| 2x HD4870| 150GB VelociRaptor| Tech Station W/ DICE/Cooler Master V8 #3 (Review) - i7 920| MSI Eclipse SLI| 3 x 2GB Mushkin HP3 12800| Muskin 800W| NvidiaGTX 260| Seagate 1TB HDD| Thermaltake Armor W/ CM V10 Socket 775 Comp|3DMark Comp| OCC Reviews| C2D OC Guide| OCC F@H Team| OC Basics| OC Software| Water| DICE| OCC Rules| 5226MHz  |

But I think the point is that it has a terrible performance to price ratio. There are much better options...
