I personally own this cooler and it's pretty amazing. It's stylish, quiet (unless it's at 100%), and gets the job done. I paid $55 for it a few months back. This is quite a deal. It uses a multi-socket compatible retention bracket too, so it goes back generations and more then likely forward. Zalman releases new heatsink retention brackets that are compatible with existing heatsinks if you send them a email they'll hook you up.

This comes with a red LED on the fan. I personally don't like LEDs, but this implementation is really well done. It isn't glaringly bright, it simply adds a subtle 'hint' of color to the fan blades. Really good job on that IMO.

Definitely worth the money if you want to upgrade your fan or you don't have one!

ACcording to Frostytech review, this cooler has a very good performance/noise ratio, especially at the lower end of the fan speed range (900 RPM) I would totally get one for $35 if I was looking for a full sized cooler right now.

It's also good at cooling surrounding components due to the fact that it's a open design with no edges.
