When turning on my computer, I could immediately hear the difference between the Zerotherm cooler that I was using previously. It was even quieter. Using the CoreTemp software, I was able to see my idle temperatures at 21 degrees Celsius compared with stock cooling at 27. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 Processor with a pin mod which enables it to use a 1066Mhz bus speed and have a core clock of 3ghz. When running multiple programs to bump the CPU usage to 100% for a while. I was able to do this my running a game in the background and minimizing it. I then opened up the task manager to view the CPU usage and it consistently stayed at 100%. The temperature steadied at a low 35 degrees Celsius making the cooler an excellent performer. A stock heatsink would get 44 degrees celsius on my computer.

"For the price, you are really getting what you are paying for...a high quality cooler with both excellent thermal and acoustic performance. If you are looking for a CPU cooler that is not noisy and you want to lower the temperatures of your CPU, I would highly recommend this cooler." (Ronald Ko, DigitalReviews.net)
