Works perfectly! Buy for performance, not for ease of installation!

I am very satisfied with the performance of this CPU cooler. Before the install, my overclocked i5 3570 was idling at around 50 degrees Celsius, gaming between 75 and 92 degrees Celsius, not where I wanted it to be and you shouldn't be. After installing this CPU cooler, the I5 idle temperature is around 32 degrees Celsius, in games between 47 and 59 degrees Celsius. I really cringe at the thought of ever having to remove this cooler but the installation is difficult in most situations, I would assume it certainly was in my situation but I managed. It fits my Thermal Take Versa N21 snugly, I figured it would accommodate size specs, slight modification required to accommodate this monstrous CPU cooler. I bought this product for the performance, not the ease of installation, which is something to consider when making a decision to purchase this particular cooler.
