I've had my eye on this cooler for a while to replace my Xiggy, now that its in my hands and I've had a chance to look it over, I cannot help but say I'm seriously impressed with it, the mounting bracket assembly allows 180 degree mounting, so no matter the socket orientation, you can mount front to rear or bottom to top airflow, the choice is yours.
I bought a second Cooler Master 120mm fan for a push pull setup as I had previously had with my Xiggy, I was concerned about the fan mounting brackets as Newegg showed a picture of them being wire, but this must be a newer version because they're very durable plastic that screw to the 120mm fans mounting holes and clips to the heat sink, and it is snug!
This is going to be a remove the motherboard installation and unfortunately because of previous obligations I'm going to have to wait to do it, but I wanted to share how well the heat sink is made and designed.
I'll probably take pictures of the installation if you guys are interested, and will do some comparison cooling tests between the Xiggy and the Hyper 212+, the Xiggy was modified and lapped, but I'm in hopes the Cooler Master seriously out performs the Xiggy.
Anyhow more to come if you guys are interested? Ryan
