Is it worth what?
Its still one of the top performing heatsinks, even with the original low speed fan. Add a slightly stronger fan, if you are okay with the noise, and you can get even more performance from it.
Heatsinks that have fans that blow downward also do much for keeping other components on your motherboard cool.
I'm not sure about fitting it in a case, haven't bought a case in years. It is tall, so it would work best with a case with side panel mesh/intake.
