Combining a distinctive stacked fin array, heat-pipe direct touch (HDT) design, and a large low-noise fan, the Gladiator series is built to take on the cooling challenges of today’s most powerful processors and ensure your system functions at its peak.
Utilizing the proven performance of the latest HDT design, the Gladiator series has direct contact with the processor using four copper heat pipes to ensure the most rapid heat transfer. The unique “folded” fin configuration also helps maximize surface area while maintaining a compact form factor.
Engineered to aggressively dissipate heat produced by high-speed CPUs, the Gladiator series can tackle any challenge in the overclocking arena. These coolers run quiet courtesy of a large fan mounted with anti-vibration rubber connectors to reduce excess noise, perfect for a media center or office desktop where silence is a top priority. The versatile and user-friendly Gladiator series is compatible with AMD AM2/939/754/755 and Intel 775 sockets and can be installed quickly and easily by end-users at all skill levels.

Needs a better fan & lots of thermal grease

I''ve been using this for about 8 months now, its just now performing up to my standards. The fan only moves like 35CFM, but is very quiet, and apparently short lived (PC folds 24/7 or games at OC''d speeds). Upgrading to a 110CFM pwm fan brought down temps 8C while allowing higher OC. Also, the chasms between the heat pipes are pretty deep. It took some trial and error to find a way to spread thermal paste on adequately (3 strips, on each of the metal between heat pipes).
