I ve heard a few good reviews on how quiet this cooler is. Has anyone used it and how does it cool. Does it cool enough to overclock a barton 2500.

But beware, that's just one review and I haven't seen anything else. Reviews aren't actually that accurate, I saw one review where FalconRock II heatsink was equal to SK-7 heatsink when both used same high CFM fan. And that's bull I'd say.
That Glacialtech heatsink is aluminium with copperbase.

Barton does produce more heat than T-bred so you won't hit the top score.
 
You don't recommend Glacialtech but still use an inferior cooler yourself? According to that digit-life review, your cooler gets 2C higher temp but noise is 56dB (compared to 27dB of that Glacialtech). Almost 6 times more noise with lower cooling power.
 
im also considering purchasing this hsf to cool a barton 2500 which i hope to get up to 3200...i've read the review, but as someone else said, it's only 1 review...anyone else have any more feedback or experience with this particular HSF? Thanks.
