i've been reading reviews and it appears to be decent.

does anybody have any actual experience with this cooler to enlighten me wiht?
pictures, perhaps?
 
noone has this?

well, i don't want to make a new thread for this, but can osmeone tell me how to change the names of everything in speedfan?(4.31)
 
If you can afford the ninja, or Tuniq go for that , but I have this cooler and it's done its job. See sig for system details. :)
These are core temp numbers btw...
 
i bought it, but i was just wondering how well it did.

i got the thermaltake 130 mm fan to go with it too.
 
Same as the others.. I've got one on my sister's machine, 3400+ Venice @ 2.6ghz. The machine runs 100% load whenever it's on (Folding@Home) and it lingers with her chip around 38-40c after running 100% load for a while (at least several hours). Could be better I guess, but her box is a DEAD silent rig (loudest thing is the hard drive which can be faintly heard) and has a couple of cathodes inside the case as well... it's a good cooler, very quiet. Very dense fin setup, I guess thats how it works so well being so small.

Looks sweet through a window too :p

IMO, good alternative to the ninja if you can't fit the ninja in your case (only reason I got it in the first place, she's got a small case).
 
i had the mine before i went to water. its a great heatsink and the best part is that you can use almost any size fan you want in it.
 
well, i have the mine in now, and i've seena ten degree decrease in load temps from the stock AMD heatsink, even with a small boost to 2.4 ghz(athlon 3500+/didn't have it OC'ed on the stock HSF)

of course, i keep my ambient extremely low in my room(about 15 C, just how i like it, with the highest being about 26 C during the summer)
