Good cooler for the price, but if you're not in a hurry to grab one, wait for it to go on sale at ewiz.com. I've bought two at two 6 months apart, each for about $22 shipped.

I would definitely recommend it. Good price too.

i'm using this with my Q6600 in a p182 case. i love how the temperature stays so low at 3.06GHz

Agreed, decent but price a little higher than a bargain hunter would jump at.

real good cooling for cpu. i'd suggest this.

How loud? Thanks!

#6, at full speed, loud enough that you wouldn't want it in an HTPC. But use it with a fan controller or a MB with PWM and it's nearly silent. I'm running it on a Gigabyte DS3L and it's going at about 800rpm (I think). I can't hear it.

i have it around 1800rpm and i find it silent enough. not totally silent, but a very subtle hum. like having a humidifier on or something.

#9, we are waiting for your 3rd and 4th repeat post to justify your user id.

I bought 2 open-box ones and 1 was brand new w/ the thermal paste still on it and the other one was missing the paste but looked new. Great deal for less than $15 each.

I had one for over a year. Used on a overclocked E6600 and now on a E8400. Been wasting the day away playng games and the E8400 is sitting at a nice 34C. It is good cooler.
