Quiet fan and cheap, but one does have to wonder if their performance is more or less the same as Intel's own stock heatsinks.

These launches all seem to be overshadowed by the ultimate budget offering, the Freezer Pro. Id rather spend a few quid more and get a Pro than some form of stock cooler copy cat.
