Good performance, flat surface, with easy installation and a quiet fan, that's all you need from a cooler these days. This cooler will not let you down, It can take just about anything you could throw at it. Although, I was quite frankly shocked by the instructions on the back of the packaging. Some users might actually do this, and by doing this they fry their brand new CPU. So overall a really nice cooler made by NexusTek.
