So here it the cooler I bought:

Side by side with my old, stock heatsink.

Installed on the board.

So the reason I bought this cooler was this. With my entire case shut up and watching movies, my CPU was around 65C. That's stupid hot. So as a quick fix I opened up the side to promote more airflow. This dropped me down to 48/9C. I was impressed just by that and it showed me how crappy the airflow in my case was. So, I went and bought that cooler along with two MASSCOOL 80mm case fans. Installed the cooler, and the fans blowing in. Shut up the case, and right now I'm sitting at 33C. I'm impressed, and for a $30 job, I'm really happy.
 
That thing is HUGE. How much does that weigh? I bet it's as heavy as Rosie O'Donnell walking away from a buffet.
 
The stock one actually weighs more, and was only held on my flimsy push pins. This thing is held on by a backplate and actual screws. Also, I used some Arctic Silver on this thing.
 
Mascool FTMFW. It's nice to see someone else promoting the Brand. I've been a fanboy for ages now and folks laughed at me.

For a 'cheap' Brand, in reality it's anything but. You simply cannot beat the price vs performance. If they were publicly traded, I'd buy a truckload of their stock.
