The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

It is not necessary to glue the backplate sticker, but you need to put it - this is a support and a dielectric (a black rubber square - the sleeve can be glued; you need it anyway, just attach the yellow paper square but do not glue the side where it contacts the system board), if not glue, but attach a yellow paper square, then the backplate will be removable and easily fit on another board.
Do not listen to users that they can not norms. put, just carefully study the instructions and slowly do everything.
Before installing, practice without thermal paste by placing a napkin between the CPU and the cooler sole in one layer and installing the cooler, see how the bolts are tightened, etc. after understanding the whole process, already apply thermal paste.
When installing, many are embarrassed that the bolts do not reach, so the mounting plates are flexible and you need to firmly press the cooler to the CPU with one hand, gently press the bolt with the other hand with a screwdriver (without moving the cooler) and bait in turn all 4 bolts diagonally. Screw the bolts to the stop with the lower nuts, but only in turn (without skew) diagonally, two turns at a time.

Pros

I bought a performance, satisfied with the result, from the pros - an affordable price, easy installation (it takes a long time to dismantle the system board and put it back), but the cooler itself melts easily without any questions. You can install two fans. I liked the fasteners - the bolts cannot be overtightened or undertightened - they are made with stops - they screwed them up to the cantura and everything is in order. There was enough thermal paste and another third remained, so for one time the amount is enough. Phenom II X4 955BE overclocked by 3.8 runs stably and temp. the core does not rise above 52 gr. the fan speed is not full (room 24gr.) the system unit is in a niche.

Cons

Of course, there are drawbacks, this poorly processed base (but even) can be cleaned and polished with goy paste. And not very good contact of the heat pipes with the radiator fins, they are planted through the fins, but there is no paste, and some fins wobble from loose contact.

Well cools i5 3570k overclocked to 4.5GHz, maximum load 57 degrees (it costs 2 propellers, 700 rpm each, not Zalman's). Good thermal paste included (zalman zm stg2), but bad fan. It used to be cheap too :)
