Thanks. Do you have one of those? I like the idea of screwing the base of
the cooler onto the mobo. Not sure if it's just my board, but I've fitted
two stock C2Q fans in the past week, and the amount of force required to do
the last one was unbelievable! With my old MSI 975X board, and E6600, it
never seemed that difficult.
Only thing that worries me in this review is mention of having to bend the
base to fit over a C2D.

I haven't tried any of the super coolers yet, when I build my next system
I'll probably get a Thermalright or a Zalman.

Hi This looks like a good review of most of the modern ones.

Except if they found the fitting of the cooler to be in the least but fiddly
they simply put "FAIL" next to it. Sheeeit, most of these big coolers *are*
fiddly to fit, it's a given. You want plug'n play? Stick to the boxed cooler
is what I think.
Also, I read all three parts of that review and didn't see mention of my
favourite coolers, the Thermaltake Big Typhoon and Mini Typhoon. (I like
them as their performance isn't that far off the top-end and they're
"top-down" coolers meaning that the VRMs and capacitors get some airflow
too.)

Umm, find out who the UK distributer is and email them? Or, follow the
"Where to buy" section on the bar on that page and contact any of the seven
dealers listed for UK? ;-)
After several magazine reviews and personal recommendations from friends
online, I bought an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro... WOW!!!! Cheap (£15) and
it dropped my CPU temperature 15C over the stock Intel cooler!
