rogue...
you poor misguided soul...
apparently those who reviewed it wasn't installing it right...
if they did... they would not have installation nor cooling problems...

i do admit this cooler is hard to install... but the cooling is simply too good to pass up...
this kicks the sk6's butt...
i'm finishing up my ZEN review as we speak... look for it in the next few days
