Same experience here.

Thanks for the feedback. So effective and quiet? Considering I'm going to be running mprime on all four cores of my AMD A8 constantly I'm after something that can keep it happy without making much noise. I don't mind paying more than this, but if this will do the job I'll get it.

It does the job, very easy to clean. With regards to noise it depends since I could hear the 92 mm PWM fan but I am a weird guy.

This seems ridiculously cheap given the reviews. Does anyone have any experience with these?

Had one that lasted around 5-6 years on a Q6600. I don't think I would call it the quietest cooler.

I have been doing some upgrading myself for cooling on my PC. For the processor, I would consider getting the largest cooler you can to fit in your case. Depending on the age of the case this can become a limiting factor. For long life in the AIO liquid coolers look at for reliability Corsair products. Corsair is releasing for these coolers their magnetic levitation bearing fans which are good fans. For air flow though look to Noctua for both quiet and good air flow. Use as many fans as your case will handle as dead air is going to retain heat. Also plan your air flow to give a good path in and out. This means good cable management to declutter the inside of the case. I hope this helps, but go with reliable and what works, not price or you might end up with something that you will come to regret.
