Upgraded last week to bits shown in sig, after MSI754 Neo Plat mobo died.
Am very dissapointed with the VapoChill
1) the fan mounting must rank as the flimsiest on record. It favours the plastic packaging you often get in the collars of new shirts.
2) Radiator is flimsy & can get damaged if knocked.
3) Mounting is not great unlike Zalman or other units it's difficult to tell if it's tightened/tensioned enough. Direct access to both mounting screws is not available. Yiu must tighten 1 screw then turn the whole cooler to acess & tighten the 2nd screw.

Overall Not good - No confidence in unit. Have ordered the new Zalman CNPS9500 LED & am running with Stock Cooler atm.
