I took three of these at different times. In all three cases, the cooler bends the motherboard like hell due to an indecently rigid pressure plate. Without a backplate, it just breaks the board. And backplates are only on AMD motherboards. Cools as well or even worse than boxed. Installation in the case is impossible: the motherboard always has to be removed. On the Asus P5E motherboard, with great difficulty, I climbed between the radiators for cooling the power circuits and the chipset. And then I had to weave the cooler fins with the radiator fins on the chipset. I do not recommend.
