Conclusion
A very good heatsink for those who are looking for cooling performance. However, if you are looking for quiet, better to go for another model.
This is a product with a good performance / noise / price ratio but is only designed for processors that don't heat too much. Don't expect miracles.
This is a reasonable heatsink that generally offers good results. It's just a shame that it's so difficult to install.
