not that great, but this is the smaller heatsink. Its helping to cool the HR-03GT at the same time so thats the problem. Otherwise it would be much lower in temps. I'm waiting for the 12cm fan variant. I have to say i love everything about Noctua package presentation. They got adhesive washers to prevent the brackets from shorting / scratching your motherboard. They got a rubbery backing for the backplate to do the same thing. The fan clips can be adjusted so that if you ram cooler is blocking you can move the fans above the cooler.

Note to self : I'll try to take better shots with a tripod that time.

One more thing, is the included backplate identical to the one supplied with the True ? I'm thinking about getting one (120mm version) to reaplce my true so if the backplate is the same it would make installation a whole lot easier as I dont have to remove my mobo.

yeah basically the same X backplate cept noctua has a pad on top the plastic sheet that you see on the TRUE's backplate. Prevents scratches or maybe even helps in a pressure mount. I'm just guessing. Oh there is a new Revision. If you look at their website you will see the changed the L775 mounting bracket so it fits on the asus rampage that should work for all motherboards. Thats what i got.
