This fan installed easily, but it's going to be a tight squeeze. It runs so much cooler than stock and overclocked from 3.2 to 4ghz it's still 20 degrees F than stock speed with the Intel bundled fan. Get this and have it pull air over your RAM and aim it at the case fan blowing out, I'd never buy water cooling after seeing how cold this fan makes things. Even my video card nearby dropped 10 degrees just because it's moving so much air near it too. It's 900rpm speed is effectively silent. Dial your case fan to the same speed and you'll have a whisper quiet PC you can overclock heavy. It comes with thermal compound already applied so don't spend any money on getting that, you won't need it to install, or any tools. If you're not taking the MB out, find the person in your house with the smallest fingers, you'll probably need them to get the latch on :)Read full review

I used it in an LGA 775 build where I didn't have the stock cooler for a core 2 quad. It works well, although installation on an intel system is deceptively difficult. It involves hooking the latches on the cooler over tabs on a plastic insert placed into the cpu cooler holes on the motherboard. I found this extremely frustrating, as the cooler seemed to refuse to latch on all the way. It's probably easier to install on an AMD system. The temps are decent (it keeps a q9550 under 70c while gaming), although the lack of airflow in the emachines case I used probably causes it the cpu to be hotter than it would be otherwise.
