I am actually using it right now on a overclocked 3470 i5. It is in a case with only a rear 80mm case fan and keeps the processor 44C during average loads. I did use Artic Silver 5. Plans are for a Rosewill with 5 140mm case fans on the way. By the way. This is a stock Gateway Mid Tower case from the early 2000's and it fits with the side cover on...

The product appears to be identical to the more expensive version but has led fans. It may have one less heat pipe. Be sure that the fan header is compatible with your motherboard before buying it.

Fan is very quiet, looks good with the red led. The fan/heatsink combo is a bit bigger than I thought it was, but that's good. Install is easy if you have access to the back of your MB, otherwise, it could be a pain. Overall, a great value. I've used Cool Master products for years now and always been happy.

Cools my 8370 way better than the stock cooler did and I did have the Wraith cooler. I will add this though, I did not use the thermal compound provided in the box. I used Arctic silver5, which I also used on the Wraith cooler vs the stock paste so even still shows the Hyper 212 cools better. Would have given 5 stars, but one of the mounting screws that holds the bracket to the heatsink didn't fit correctly and I had to dig through my little bin to find one to correct this issue. If you want to cool your CPU better on a budget this cooler works fine in my book. If it cools the 8370 space heater(lol).

This cooler is the quietest I've ever had. I just used it on a new Haswell build and you can't even hear it. So far I'm very happy my gaming rig is staying at 47degrees c on normal computing getting ready to install some games and see how it does. Well it paaassed all my tests great cooler for the money,can't go wrong.
