Something's not right here with this review. The OEM Intel cooler with the "Intel certified" paste CLEARLY offers lower thermal resistance according to the graphic, however the text on the review states, "At top speed, thermal resistance is lower for the Asus cooler than for Intel's boxed version." And at the end of the review, "Those who aren't put off by the awful noise get good cooling performance for money." Who in their right mind would blow an additional $49 to get LESS cooling than what came with the CPU? Are you guys sniffing the paste or something? The Intel cooler did so much better with the Intel paste that I would have expected you to test the new cooler with the Intel paste.
 
These guys try to put a positive spin on everything they review. I've been doing reviews for Sysopt and tried a more ballanced approach. It's obvious to see who gets the most review samples, it's NOT Sysopt!
