CL-P0310 
it keeps my cpu very cool. Cools like an arctic freeze. Low noise. Looks very cool! It's relatively easy to install. wow...big , Need a case big enough for it to fit....most likely not a case without ventilation on the cover.
Cool but Realy big... 
This is Wonderfull cooler ... I use it with AMD 6400+ Black Edition with Overclocking reached 3.75Ghz windows and 6.40Ghz Bios !!!!! with Asus M2N32-WS Pro ...
The only problem when you want to use the 4X slot ram .. you can only use 2 of them because of this big cooler
MY CPU temp is 35C to 38C IDLE and 45C to 48C max and for some peak it rech 52C max
Exclent if you have big case and want to use only 2 Ram slot

The answer to all my problems. 
Liquid cooling? Uhh, no thanks. I'll take this fan anyday. Installation was easy, click and go and it works like a charm.
Great heatsink but very difficult to install 
This heatsink (HS) is a great cooler in operation BUT you have to install it first. I have an ASUS P5K motherboard and installation of the HS was nearly impossible. I had to remove my case power supply to gain hand access to one of the fasteners. The HS radiator is so large that there is no room to get your fingers down to the fastener. Like I said, after installation it cooled as expected. It is a good buy, just be prepared for a little hand-wringing and frustration during installation.
Now I Understand why is it labeled Big Type 
All I can say is... this CPU cooler is tremendously huge. Pictures of this item should be posted with something else to compare size. At first, I was afraid this fan would not fit into the case (you won't believe how huge it is), or neither was targeted for tower-type cases. I mounted the fan using the provided parts for LGA775 socket. Hopefully I bought an Antec 900 case, no problem at all. Installation was easy. Got this one for an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, benchmark tests provided by EVEREST v4.0.976 marked 35°C idle (using lowest fan speed) and 49°C at full CPU usage. By the way, thermal paste is included (no need to get an extra spare). All I can say is I recommend this one... and yes! It can be mounted for tower case designs
