Great heatsink that fits in my case

Cons
None
Recommended it?
Yes
For a while, I was using the stock heatsink on my processor (core i7 920 2.66 GHz). When I moved cross country and had my PC shipped, the heatsink fell off sometime during the shipping process so I had to get a new one. Many heatsinks in the market looked way too big to fit into my case (an ATX mid-tower), and this was one of them that looked reasonable for a reasonable price.
I have read some reviews that installation of this product was tricky because the instruction manual wasn't exactly helpful in any way, but I didn't find it to be particularly tricky. The only thing I found tricky was trying to balance everything while installing this (since it requires you to remove the motherboard and I was doing this alone). Installing this only took a total of an hour or so.
Now that I have this installed, I realized I should have bought this sooner. Using this heatsink I have my cpu overclocked to 3.2 GHz, and I could probably push it to 3.33GHz or so (effectively giving me a $1000 cpu for the price of $200). Right now It's at around 47C on idle and 76C on max load.
