Pros: Completely silent. Looks great. No longer need to leave my window open in winter to keep my PC cool.

Cons: Did not get me laid.

Overall Review: Put it on an overclocked AM3+ FX-6300. Keeps it under 45C even under heavy load in a fairly warm room. Used arctic silver 5 instead of whatever thermal compound came with it. Recommended.

Pros: Great looking cooler, fits well with a black/red theme such as with the CM Storm Scout 2 Advanced, good cooling at max load.

Cons: It is so difficult to install. I mean this thing is a beast, at least the size of a softball. Watch a video of someone installing this thing before you even buy it, just to be aware of what you're in for. Also, the radiator fins are VERY sharp. I cut my thumb open during the install. Only reason that I docked an egg is because it bled me. Nobody makes me bleed my own blood, nobody!

Overall Review: The install was rough, but I am so well pleased with the way that it looks and it's ability to cool my system. Before I bought this and some quality fans, I was hitting the mid 80's on my CPU temps under max load. Now, my CPU barely ever sees the low 60's. It definitely does it's job. If you're only after cooling, probably other solutions are better...as in cheaper and less difficult to install. However, if you want the looks too...you can't go wrong with a V8.

Pros: Beautiful. it looks like the computer has a big mechanical heart effective, it keeps the system cool.

Cons: painful to install. mounting hardware was fairly easy to use, but there isn't a lot of space in the top left when putting in the heat sink.

Overall Review: This thing is huge. lucky we made sure it was going to fit before hand, but depending on your ram and mobo, you may nto be able to fit it in. for reference, its bigger than my girlfriends face.

Pros: Man this thing looks awesome, it really looks good. Really man. It sets it off. It does a great job of keeping the CPU cool also. I know everybody else in into water coolers, but I wasn't. Thats OK, this looks better. Way better, if you have a full tower with a window to look through. I would recommend the Phanteks Enthoo Pro Series PH-ES614P_BK Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case.

Cons: NONE.

Overall Review: Someones elses review was really helpful. Here is what it said, if I remember correctly. Before trying to put it on the CPU, first use the cardboard it came with and mount it to that, just to see how it goes together and that you have the right screws, it comes with several. That makes the install easier. My additional input to that: a lot of people have a hard time getting that back corner nut on there becuase of the cooler on the motherboard. The wrench it came with is small and bendable. Just simply bend the wrench. Only on that last one though.

Pros: This thing looks soooooooo sweet! Horizontal vapor chamber. Triple heatsink. 2 - 140mm red LED fans My G.Skill Trident X DDR3 2400MHz RAM fits nicely underneath.

Cons: It's kind of a pain to install. I was installing it on a new build so I installed my CPU and this cooler before dropping the mother board in the case. Installing it with the Mother board outside the case made it fairly simple but at the same time it was still a little tricky and took some patience to get it installed. I think it would be very difficult to install this cooler with your motherboard mounted in your case. You have to use a special little wrench provided with the cooler to secure the cooler in place and doing that inside a case I think would really suck to try and do. It cools about as well as other coolers currently on the market which cost about 1/3 as much, but for me the extra money was worth it because this thing just looks so much better than all the other air coolers currently available.

Overall Review: It's a very large cooler, make sure your case can fit it before you buy it, unless of course you're ok with leaving your side panel off all the time. I didn't install my RAM until the cooler was already in place and with the red heatspreader fins that come attached to the G.Skill Trident X DIMM's I wasn't able to get the DIMMs into my first 2 RAM slots. Thankfully the heatspreader fins on the Trident X are removable so after taking the heatspreader fins off the DIMM's fit in just fine and I was even able to then reattach the heatspreader fins once the DIMM's were fully seated in the RAM slots. So if you buy this cooler and have tall RAM like the Trident X I suggest installing your RAM first and then install the cooler.

Pros: -Relatively Quiet -Effective for an Air Cool System

Cons: -The bearings on one of the fans started going out after about a year and a half of near constant use.

Pros: Fantastic. Huge, but still fantastic. Looks amazing in my build and the performance is great. I haven't had time to OC my 4770 yet but at stock clock speed and full load, temps were stable at 67°C. It's not at all loud at full load either, especially compared to my laptop which sounds like a hurricane with just minecraft running. I was concerned about RAM clearance but I bought it anyway because I love the way it looks. Clearance turned out to be no issue (see other thoughts)

Cons: Price? Not going to take an egg though because the performance is excellent and it's just so darn sexy.

Overall Review: I did my build in the Fractal Arc Midi R2 on an Asus Hero VI motherboard and this thing fit perfectly. The nut closest to the VRM heatsink on the motherboard was a bit of a pain to get the threads started on, but no biggie. As for clearance, I was able to install 2 sticks of Corsair Vengeance Pro after the cooler was mounted with plenty of room to spare. Because of the way the outer heat pipe slopes up and that heatsink is higher, I would say just about any memory should fit under there. Granted this was done outside of the case; I imagine that removing or replacing a stick might be a little more difficult inside the case, but it shouldn't be impossible.

Pros: always stayed at 30-47 degrees while running full max

Cons: left fan died .could not get a replacement..would have to buy another one

Overall Review: dont buy this unless you have a wide case..4mm to big
