RE: Thanks Steppe!

It's a good heatsink because of its design, build quality and secure fitting which improves heat transfer - the fan isn't important and some Scythe and Nexus fans are probably better. Ninjas and other big heatsinks also come with nice fans that you won't use in cMP setup, but you can use them in other computers or sell on ebay. The OP had a problem finding heatsinks that would fit on 1156 mobo in an HTPC case, because there are only a few around at the moment. This one will cool as well as the big Ninja and fit into the case nicely.

Having used many different coolers with awkward and inefficient adapters and attachments, including the dreadful stock Intel pushpins, the Noctua is a pleasure to handle - like Snap-on (brand) tools, not really necessary for the amateur mechanic, but worth it just to feel in your hands!
