Positives:

relatively light (approx. 370 g, without fan)

uses a 120 mm fan for the least noise for a given air flow

fan provides cooling for mainboard chipset, RAM

heat pipes work with mainboard horizontal or vertical

Negatives:

huge, may be incompatible with some mainboards (see list)

most easily installed with mainboard not in case (spring clips)

some 120 mm fans incompatible with mounting scheme, unless fan is
modified

Perhaps the XP-90 would be a saner choice.

HTH.

I would like some input as to what you people think the best heat sink and
fan are for AMD64- 3500+?

Thanks
