I'm not a geek although I occasionally pretend to be...We have an Intel 875PBZ board with an Intel P4 3.2Ghz processor. The original Intel heat sink works reasonably well and it's effective until it's clogged with dust. The dust collects at the base of the heat sink, snuggled up nice and cozy with the processor. We would watch the temperature stedily rise then need to clean. This was a typically monthly chore. Cleaning the original cooler normally involved removing it since the air duster usually wasn't effective with the cooler mounted. Not a hard job but a pain in the rear. We picked up the Thermaltake (could someone tell me how to pronounce Thermaltake) and saw an immediate drop in temp. We've had it installed for about 6 weeks and the temp's remained steady at 100 deg F....sorry I don't do C. Under a load, we had seen temps typically around 140 deg F and we've seen it spike up to 165F when some unknown gremlins take over and start sucking the oxygen out of the cpu..The highest temp we've seen with the Typhoon installed is about 118. We'The other thing impressively noticible is it's much quieter than the intel cooler.
The installation does require removing the motherboard to install the metal backplate. There is a self stick cushion / insulator that we used without removing the self stick backing. I had some reservations about gluing the cushion directly to the MB but that's just me. The original heat sink frame had to be removed.
This thing is BIG. It won't fit in smaller cases. It's a bit alarming to hold it and imagine it cantilevered out as it is. Once installed, it seems ok and the metal backplate distributes the load well. Check your dimensions to make sure you have the elbow room for this thing to live. I installed it with the help of my 15 year old son. I think he could have done it on his own. We had no alignment issues with any of the hardware. Instructions are OK but could be better.
We are building up another computer for my son right now. We had no reservations about ordering another Typhoon for that system. If it'll fit in your case, it's a great cooler and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I am making my own computer and I love this heatsink! I do not overclock (although Im sure I could). Its nice and quiet, despite the HUGE appearance. And a word of advice, DO NOT GET CHEAP HEATSINK COMPOUND! I used the cheap silicone stuff (absolute crap) use the $10 silver compound, regardless of what heatsink you have, if you get the cheap stuff, your computer will idle (like mine) at 45 degrees!

In my opinion this heatsink fan system is the best air cooling you can get for a CPU. I have ran mine for 2 years now on an overclocked P4 HT, I tried other heat sink coolers and they could hold there own...when loud. This is amazinly quiet, my case fan is louder than it, my temp went from 80 C peak to 42C peak. Now the only heat problems I have are my VGA...working on that now. That is what reminded me to write this review.
SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SINGLE AIR COOLER for your CPU. Buy this. You wont be disapointed. Just use a diffrent thermal paste.

Make no mistake, installing this fan will take time, but in the end it is worth the effort because it will lower your CPU temperature.
The instructions include more than 50 postage stamp sized photos and are printed on one sheet of 8x11.5" paper. Fewer larger photos would be more helpful.
It will be easier to install if you're building a new system, or if you have a case where the motherboard support plate removes from the case.
You will need to attach the backplate for the fan to the back of the motherboard.
I had problems getting to the screws to reattach my motherboard to the case once the fan was installed, because the fan is much larger on the top than the bottom. Putting the back plate on, installing the motherboard back in the case, and then installing the fan is also an option, but now the computer's power supply will make it hard to tighten the nuts that hold it in place.
When I first fired it up, it sounded like a Cesna preparing for takeoff. Fortunately, within a couple of minutes the noise went away, and it's now very quiet.
But this fan cut the temperature of my CPU by more than half. My CPU was running between 78 and 93 degrees Celsius with periodic unexpected shutdowns. Now the CPU is running between 37 and 42C, so while it took a lot of time to get it installed, it was worth the effort.

Almost no noise at all, keeps my Q6600 at 34`, I overcloked it to 2.8
