Good Points

Great performance
Amazing asthetic appeal
Extremely quiet
Well built
Designed well for all motherboards (fan and shroud are up high - away from caps and north-bridge heat sink)

Bad Points

Price
Installation a little tricky (need to take fan shroud off to install fans after it's mounted on the cpu)

General Comments

So far so good. The Aerocool HT-101 cooler looks great, runs quiet, and performs better than my old Volcano7+. I guess that's why it's a little pricy... but oh well. As the saying goes "Good, fast, cheap... ok, pick two" -- hah... but it's true. I am very happy with this cooler so far... I especially like the way it's extruding parts (fan and such) are up high and away from the capacitors and other motherboard components... I have an MSI K7N2-L and was going to buy a Foxconn "heat guzzler" but it would not fit because of the caps and northbridge heatsink... the similar Asus nforce2 board has the same issues... on the flip side, this would not be a good cooler for a mini system... Oh well. As I say, so good so far.
