I think that not having the fan above the sinkisnt too good an idea when heat goes up. Dunno though you will have more air going through...

Multi-fan heatsinks make way more noise than they're worth. I'm sure that thing would get crushed (performance-wise and noise-wise) by a SLK-800 or even an SK-7. The only nice thing about multi-fan heatsinks is that your CPU won't fry if a fan dies, because the other fan(s) can still blow air over the heatsink.

How the hell is it going to fit? On nearly every board there are capacitors that line the socket. Is the heatsink taller than what i suspect?

hmmm, I think I'll take a nice SLK-800 and a single fan, instead of three. The heatsink looks like it won't conduct the heat well anyways, it looks like the heat has to travel quite a ways up

well first of all, it's aluminum. the other fans add cost, and the heat would just stay by the bottom.

Here is a overclockers.com rewiew of it, it seems to do well even though it is a tad noisy.

Pretty easy to find a hsf unit that will both cool better and quieter. Sure it performs decent but anything that noisy had better do at least decent. And I don't care for the looks either, kinda goofy imo.
