just got this cooler last night and have it installed on my EP45-UD3R..

here are some of my findings..

first, the bracket is blocking the heatsink of mosfat near the IO ports, need to apply force to push the heatsink away.. as you can see from the image below, the fin is slightly bended



the clearance of the cooler and northbridge with heatsink is okay



clearance with the other heatsink is fine too



extra tall RAM may have issue.. but should be okay if you don't mind the fan pushing the heat spreader



overall i find the installation is a little challenging as the cooler is a bit too large, RAM need to be removed for fingers to access the thumb screw unless you have very small hand, not to mention if the board is attached to the casing, access to the other 3 thumb screw can be very challenging too.. what's more if 2nd fan is attached ||




clearance of the cooler and side panel is adequate for Centurion 534+



cooler in action




now here's a brief one on the performance, E8400 @ stock speed running on closed case, ambient temp around 29.5°C.

E6750 stock cooler:
Idle: 45°C
Load: 67°C

Ice Blade Pro:
Idle: 35°C
Load: 52°C

please note that the load test was with OCCT for around 5 minutes only and the fan speed is set to 70% for temperature < 47°C. this is only a very brief test so the result may not be accurate, just take it as reference lah.. also i have yet to test the cooler while overclock..

something to add, on built quality, the fin is rather soft, doesn't require large force to bend the edge.. other than that the rest look and feel solid.. the fan maximum speed is 1500rpm i think (indicated by SpeedFan), rather quite to my standard, but not sure how strong it is...

i don't know how good it is compare to other HDT cooler, but for the price i paid for this cooler, it's definitely worth it

try attach a second fan, oc it then tell us the result ;p

i really feel like buying the ice blade... do you guys think i'll be better then sumbeam CCF or CM hyper 212 or the Xigmatek S1283 ?

coolice : is it possible to use screw driver to screw the heatsink onto the motherboard instead of using you fingers ?

coz i'll be using this for my processor testing rig, and it's quite a hassle if i had to unlock it by turning the thumb screws

modernopc oso selling this baby cheap.....rm135~

Possible to test it against Killer Whale, CCF, TRUE and xigmatek?
