"I found this cooler easy to handle, the installation is real easy and the way this cooler performs is quite alright. It's very quiet and that's the most important thing here. This cooler can knock a few more degrees of your processor if you keep the internal airflow up to par but anyone that purchases a cooler like this is not somebody that wants to reach extremely high clock rates with their system anyway. Temperatures did get a bit high when passively cooled, but that's due to the fact that I was testing this cooler outside a casing so if you have the proper airflow inside your case than you can easily run this cooler passively."
