I recently purchased the coolermaster GeminII. For $25 i am by far impressed. I do not have any installation pictures as i was too excited to get this baby on.
The temps are great on a E4500 2.2ghz and coolermaster elite 330 case. Hell, i bet the temps could be lower if i had a better air-flowing case.
Temps:
idle:25-30
load:35-40
max ive seen: 43
For $25 of air cooling thats darn good.

wow that thing is massive any clearance issues, and with this cooler do you still have to remove the mobo to install it like with the rest of cooler master stuff? Because I can see that being a pain to reinstall the 4 pin power connector on some boards after hooking that thing up.
 
It was actually free for a long time.

You do have to remove the mobo to install it.

A full sized tower is recommended but you can fit it in a mid sized.

My e6420 @ 3.6 has the same temps as yours :)
 
Well, you can rotate it but it depends on it your case has enough spaces. did i see an ECS motherboard? aw.... lol
 
It definitely is a monster cooler. I used to use one on my E2180 and it performed excellently in my Cooler Master 690 case. It now sits on my father's Athlon 6400+ without issues and keeps it damn cool. If I didn't get this Ultima-90, I would still be using the GeminII without a doubt with no looking elsewhere.

yes, lol. it was the only 9.6x9.6 moterboard out there at the time, and i had a stock case and thats the only thing it fit. Hey, it was only $50 and its lasted over a year, so its done its moneys worth.
Yes you have to remove the motherboard. Not that big of a deal for me, its better than those snap on pins for the LGA 775, if this thing had those on it it would probably rip right out.
 
Somewhere around the web I saw pictures with two Delta 4000rpm fans installed. Wonder how good this setup would perform.... but you have to get some good ear protection I guess, since each fan is labled to be 59db.
