A wonderful product, its nice to use.

I took it for cooling the Xeon E5450 installed in the LGA775 on an old computer, which I wanted to revive a little. The stock cooler could not cope with it, the processor heated up to 75 degrees during the stress test. It's not really scary in itself, but it's annoying. But due to poor air circulation in the old case, all the hot air was vigorously sucked in by the PSU fan and it also began to overheat.
I stuck in two cheap case fans for circulation and this cooler. Now, when the load is above 60 degrees, it does not warm up, the PSU is a little warm.

Pros

Although bulky, it is light. The design is collapsible, the fan is easy to remove and replace if something happens to the complete one. By the way, when installing on intel sockets, I recommend removing the fan, so it is more convenient to install the radiator, then hang the fan on the cooler. Easy to install on intel sockets: click and you're done. A thick gray thermal paste is already applied to the contact surface. So if you get a problem, then, probably, it will do. I used mine. The contact surface itself in the sample that I installed was very even and smooth, the tubes flush with the base. The noise level is small. For me, it’s even a little quieter than the old stock one (but that one was old). No matter how hard he tried to load it, he never reached full speed. The price is adequate.

Cons
