Pros & Cons
Pros
I'm happy to report it handles everything in *. It performs better than the intel stock cooler (~3c cooler than stock). Great product. Arctic products are great and this one is not an exception.

Super quiet and good cooling for a 65w cpu.
This is one of the coolers that provide the best performance for the price.
It has a higher clearance than the intel one.
