Intel Copper Core Socket 478 Heat Sink and Fan is good, but... 
2007-03-29
I am a software tech. I got tired of this fans hum, and started looking elsewhere-
1. I tried the ASUS Neptune K7 CPU Fan, & was no good (but quiet/hot)- did not cool as well as the GOOD stock Intel fan!
2. Zalman fans... weren't any better (VERY hard to mount, and don't cool as well as the Intel!).
Bottom line- Live with the low Intel hum (tune it out/don't dwell on it...!), but excellent cooling (read the reviews!)!
Does its thing but very loud

This relatively low profile (for its class) fan/heatsink does what it's supposed to very well on my 2.93ghz Celeron mod machine, but it is loud to the point of distraction. (I can easily hear it 20+ft away & down the hall.) I wish I knew the db specs on it because I would have a great gauge on what to look out for in the future.
If you can live with the noise and are still working with socket 478, it's a very standard & no pain install, and it'll do what you need. Otherwise, it might be best to look elsewhere.
Rated four because I don't have great airflow in my mod machine but this fan/heatsink does its thing anyways. Rated two (I'm being nice actually) for the noise. The final Three rating is an average.
