When I took it out of the box I was VERY concerned that it would fit in my system. I checked motherboard compatibility and knew I'd seen other rigs with this cooler in my type of case, but it was hard to imagine how it would fit. I've read several reviews criticizing the installation instructions and I can understand why. Not to say that following the instructions was easy, but not difficult either. It comes with all the hardware and written instructions for 3 different processor types. The problem arises when trying to figure out which parts to use. The instructions give the names of each part, but the parts themselves do not have a corresponding number/name. I had to go through the other two instructions and use the elimination process to figure out what I needed. Read it several times, make sure you identify and get the right details, and take your time. It took a little while but got it right and worked on the first try. I had to remove a case fan and remove the heat spreaders from a memory module, but it got in. Now everything in the case has gotten 5-10 degrees colder. The best upgrade solution. I would highly recommend this cooler (after making sure it fits your motherboard and case).
