What's great about it: Awesome, quiet CPU cooling
What's not so great: Very long radiator needs a case with the room for it.
I installed this on a Core i7 in a Corsair Carbide 500R case. It runs cool and quiet. The thermal paste comes pre-applied as you'd expect. Easy to install and use.
Just be aware that this product will not fit in many cases; the case needs to have room for two adjoining 120 mm fans. That's why I marked compatibility at 3/5. It IS compatible with Intel and AMD products, no issue there...and don't fret about the AM3+ because even though it's not listed in the description, it will fit that processor.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: While it worked, noise was low and CPU was cool
What's not so great: Had to replace two units in 30-days
But I’m now on to my third unit. The first was defective out of the box. The fan controller would not work and I could not reset the firmware to the factory default. The second unit worked wonderfully for one week before the pump propeller began making loud vibrating noises. I tried to remove air bubbles by leaving the case on its side and by tapping lightly on the pump. Hopefully the third time is the charm.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: fan controller Big 240mm radiator Can Fix 4 fans
What's not so great: N/A
So far its great works very well i was running around 77C with my stock cooler and i installed the h100 and now i am running at 50C with playing star wars the old republic on max settings you so need alot of room to install this unit you may need to mod your case a little but if you have a 200m fan or 2 120m fans next to each other it should be able to fit just fine
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: 240mm radiator, fan controller and etc
What's not so great: WISH BB Premier Silver offer 2 Days shipping for free like NEWEGG!!
Well, I have had the Corsair H50 & H70, and now the H100. Superb upgrade and cooling solution too. I love this new item, Corsair did it again! GOOD FOR IT if you have the money.
Features: Dual 120mm fans, a low-profile integrated pump and a micro-channel cold plate with a push button control, so you can select a fan speed and setup that suits your needs.
