I had been running a Thermalright Ultra 90A with my e4300. Oc'd to 3.2ghz at 1.44v would get a hair toasty and peak at 70c via core temp when running Orthos (58c in bios). Decided to try a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 since I grabbed one for $33 at clubit. Outside of having to remove the motherboard, it was a very easy install. Base was very smooth and flat and although it was large, had no problems fitting in my Antec P180. With the cpu at the same OC and voltages, core temp is now reporting a peak load temp of 58-59c, a whopping 12c difference and this is with one fan that is far quieter than the Panaflo I have on my Ultra 90. If I added a second fan I am sure I could drop temps even more. Overall I am very pleased.
 
I can do that. Will take some pics here in a bit and post them.
 
Snapped a couple quick pictures of it mounted and in place.



 
That looks nice. I bet you get good temps with those two exhausts right on it.

Yea, I'm dumb...you already said that
 
Yea I got this same heatsink in my rig :) got it for the 6400BE i got and OMG, I cannot get it to go over 40C no matter what I run, of course I do have an antec 900 case so it does help, but ya love that thing.

Dont hesitate to buy this baby if you got the case room
 
I just picked one up and the best part about it is having three quiet 180mm fans (including my case fan) all lined up blowing straight out the back of the case. Just make sure if you add the second fan to the HSF that it blows at the same speed or faster, otherwise the air won't get properly ducted out. Also, here's a video regarding the install from coolermaster:
