Is this the new epeen?
So, nice heatsink. Your vacuum cleaner broken?
Dude, clean the damn thing out, dont matter how big it is if you dont clean it out it can get infected, I meant to say that air flow will be bad and you will kill your chip, will take a while but still, you should clean it from time to time. Not as bad as some PC's I have worked on for other people but still.
Mines prettier than either of those two ;)

Size matters! ;)
I don't want mine to be pretty. When I open my case, people run in fear of my big black heatsink... 'cause its so big and black.
and big
ive seen some heatsinks here that make me cry a little inside...
that one you got ooga is pretty massive.
I have the same heatsink as Ooga at his recommendation. The fact my Quad Core 9550 was running at 105 degrees was not healthy. :P
Now it runs at about 45 degrees thanks to that heatsink under full load.
I found it funny that they call it 'V 8' and make the top of it look like a Chevrolet V8 engine cover:

My CPU stays only a few degrees above room temperature running at 100% with the tiny heatsink that came with it. I don't overclock at all though.
I have the same one, it's amazing however its to big for my case (Sob) so been looking for a replacement but keeps everything very cool.
Zalman 9700LED on mine as well. Stays cool even with my overclocked Q6600 running at 3.0ghz. Only issue with a fan that big...installation.
