I finally got my Nexus PHT-7750 cooler. The noise from the stock Intel fan/heatsink was driving me nuts. Also, I wanted a cooler that didn't require removing my motherboard to install. I have an Intel P4 550 cpu with an Intel D915PBL board in an Antec Sonata case, two SATA drives and an ATI X700 Pro PCIE video card.
This thing is all copper and pretty heavy but it snapped right into the board. I used the included paste from Nexus.
My temps only dropped about 3 or 4 degrees Celcius at idle and load, but damn this thing is quiet. Even at full spin at around 2600rpm, it's still quiter than the stock Intel was at idle. That's what I wanted more than anything since I don't overclock.
Just giving people another option. Here's where I got it.

Now I need to quiet down my friggin ATI card since it's the loudest thing in my PC.
