wanted to make a quiet fast pc so this looked good. Such an understatement! A 2600k @ 4.5 with the quiet adaptors installed and 70 max on highest core, thats amazing. It's hard to put the side panel back on the PC as it looks soooo good installed lol. Gonna have to invest in a window ;)

Yes it's huge, but its worth it, dropped my average cpu temp by 15c under load! perfect cooler for overclocking. This heatsink seems to only improve the further u push your over clocking (to an extent of course...)!Just as an added note: i use G.Skill Ripjaw 1600MHz RAM (all ram slots full so no wiggle room) and the noctua cleared it by 4 or 5 mm or so. The size of the Ripjaws are fairly tall for their heatsinks, so if ur RAM is the same, smaller or slightly taller then you should be fine.Great product, certainly better than the all-in-one liquid coolers i've tried. The noise... well, there isnt any haha, havent bothered to use the ULNA cables tht they supply with it.I wont deny that it is ugly, but that's also its beauty. Plus, performance or pretty? - if ur looking at this product i doubt you support the latter of the two when you have to make a split decision ;)OcUK... excellent service, but thats standard with these guys.
Not for me...

Its large, seems to keep cool, even with only one fan. Everything is fine in that respect...It just does not fit.There is not enough clearance from contact to the bottom of the plates.Make sure your mobo is wide enough and that your DIMMs are spaced from your CPU.Or you will find the your 1st DIMM slot will be coverd by this cooler, or make sure your RAM is short.Dont get it if your going for a Asus Rampage.It covers 1 DIMM and you have to remove the side fan from the cooler.Easy installation, easy instructions.
