Unlike the other review, this came with everything needed (paste, pins, etc) The fan is fairly quite...a little noisier than the factory fan, but also works better. It's got a good weight to it. I don't have any actual temperature readings, but the chipset used to get quite hot and now it stays cool. Some little tips...try to push both pins down at once, the tight fit makes doing one at a time doable, but difficult. Also, make sure the wires aren't touching the fan (you'll hear it)...same for when you put the top cage on (the Tt part you see in the picture) Works fine, bought from Amazon, everything included.

The heat sink is polished but the fan seems a bit out of place relative to the polished heat sink. However, I haven't seen too many fan this small so perhaps that's as good as it gets. The one detail that's missing are the pins that secure it to the board--they are not included! Too heavy to glue so for anyone looking to upgrade from nothing or stock sink to something this fancy, better find a couple of plastic pins to keep it on the chip. I can't comment on noise level because I have other fans that are drowning out the noise. By itself it's not that quiet given a tiny fan has to spin pretty fast to move air. Did I mention it's really shiny?
