I bought this HSF for my 400SC last time it was offered at SVC for around this price... To make it fit, I had to remove the green shourd (of course). Without the fan on it, the HS performed slightly better than the stock HSF (especially under load), but this was before the silver paste had a chance to "settle"... I've since been running it with the fan on, and have idle temps about 3 or 4 degrees C above ambient and load is about 8 degrees C higher. All in all, a much better sink than the stock HSF in my 400SC (which hit over 70 deg C under load more than once...)
EDIT: Oh yeah, I think there was an issue with mounting the HSF to the Dell MB. I ended up buying some longer screws because the ones that shipped with it were too short... I think I even opted to not use their MB backing plate and just screwed the HSF into the case through the MB.

Hey nice, I was the OP on the last time it was on sale, and you were asking whether it would work. Glad it did.
