The temperatures that the two heatpipes were able to yield were not quite as good as others out on the market. However, it did do what it said it would, and that was to cool the processor and did it better than the stock Intel cooler was able to do. The multi-platform design of the cooler makes it more valuable for people who may switch this cooler between a Socket 775 rig and an AM2 setup. There was however, only the Socket 775 mounting hardware included in the package. I would suggest this cooler to anyone who is looking to improve the temperatures generated with the stock heatsink/fan setup or if they are going to do a little bit of overclocking and are wanting to use a smaller case such as a Mid tower or HTPC case.
