Installed the Alpha yesterday! All I can say is SWEEEEEEEEET!!! This has got to be the baddest heatsink out there! Just the pure size, weight, and looks should send the heat demons running, LOL...
Took a little while to install since I had to tear out the motherboard, but well worth it! I installed it with the Sunon 39cfm 32 dba fan and boy is this thing quiet. I mean, not as quiet as the stock cooler, but MUCH quieter than the AVC Sunflower and the Thermaltake Volcano 7+
Temps dropped by about 5-8 degrees as well
Oh yeah, its sucking... It actually shows that in the instructions too!
