yeah i have it...it works fine. and it even cools the memory as well.

pretty queit with fans running at 1100rpm.

my phenom runs at 35-39 idle and about 58-60 load.

it is a b*tch to install though, make sure u have patience. or install your memory first. haha

It's an alright cooler, but you can get the same performance if not better from a number of other heatsinks that don't require such a headache to install.

The number one thing about the GeminII is the fact when you install 2x 120mm fans, you get a total system cooling.

Here are my results GeminII vs Kingwin RVT-12025 (aka Xigmatek HDT-S1283)
Bottled up in an Antec 900. Ambient Temp 21C
RESULTA MAY VARY FROM INDIVIDUAL SETUPS

Somebody says it's a good deal for its price, but even though I think it's too huge. Tuniq Tower 120 or Scythe Infinity (Mugen as it's called now) would be my choice.
