Would this fan work well with this CPU

Ask pck21 said, it'll be fairly good if it'll fit. The main problem is that a lot of motherboards use quite large northbridge chipset coolers and with large tower heatsinks the bottom fins can touch the northbridge and it can become a real sod to fit. What motherboard do you have? Pictures of the motherboard mean we can make rough guesstimates on whether it'll fit.
Here's my MOBO: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=30418&vpn=P5Q Pro&manufacture=ASUS
Im kinda new to this whole realm, this is my first build and im letting NCIX do the assembly. As for the whole northbridge thing i got no idea what your talkin about
EDIT: Would this be better then? http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=23473&vpn=CNPS7500-ALCU LED&manufacture=ZALMAN TECH

If it was me, i'd save a bit more and buy a zalman, rather than that unknown brand cpu fan/heatsink

I went with Chups advice and got a Zalman cnps 9700. Dropped my temps by 20+C, and now I sit idle around 20*C.
Very good ariflow as well. It push air through the fins from the side, which goes right into the exhaust fan. Put a 120-140 fan infront of the hsf and you will have a very nice and effective air circulation.
