I thought Thermaltake had given up on this kind of stuff, I also thought they were pretty lame - turns out I'm wrong!
And my god thats huge! The last aircooler I used was one of the Swiftech socket A jobs (can't remember the model, MCX-462?) and I thought that was big!
I use the Freezer Pro 7 myself, great piece of kit basically does what it says on the tin and does it very well. One tip I did discover and tried it for myself to make sure is to ditch the thermal paste that comes with it and use the copper loaded grease you get in Halfords. Its used to stop brakes from squealing and is an excellent alternative.
Please be aware that I did try this very methodically, I monitored the CPU temp very carefully when I used it as this tip came from one of the current magazines (can't remember which one) and it really did the job. Heat transfer was improved by an average of 5 or 6 celcius.
