UPDATE ON FREEZER XTREME RMA:
Well, after the plastic frame shattered, I received a replacement heatsink, fan and bracket from Scan. On opening, I found the bracket to have cracked! I superglued it, installed it and hoped for the best. This was over a month ago, and so far, it's held. My learnings?

The push-pins don't inspire confidence. A metal bracket that secures the heatsink from the rear would be preferable (especially for a 'pro' cooler of this size.)
The current bracket is not really up to the job - it's made from a brittle plastic which is prone to shattering, and is too lightweight for this cooler.
Having said this, once installed, it does a good job. I'm very wary of moving the case though, should the pins move slightly, loosening the contact pressure of the heatsink on the CPU - even a slight loosening of the push pins could have poor consequences for cooling.

I've only seen 2 reviews of this heatsink since it was released and neither looked particularly impressive, if I wanted to replace my Freezer 7 Pro I'd probably get something by Xigmatek or Cooler Master.
