My first deal post here. I was about to order this one on-sale at $59.99 on Newegg, but I thought I'd go over to Frys.com to see how much more they're selling. To my surprise, they're also having this CPU cooler on on-sale for $20 buck less. Just ordered one for in-store pick up.
It has excellent reviews on Newegg

Nice pirce on a great cpu cooler. I picked up a refurb on eBay for $36 shipped, so this is a pretty good price.
I have this installed on my over clocked Q6600 and it does a really good job keeping it cool. If you need a high quality fan this is the one and at that price it's really worth it.
I would stick my neck out and call this deal HOT! This cooler is among the very best. Ultra quiet, yet moves an amazing amount of air. A must have if you're overclocking in the AMD world. Just be sure your case clearances can accommodate the height.
This is a great deal but the fan is not ultra quiet unless you use the fan mate and run it at the slowest rpm. At full speed it is 35db which is far from quiet.

Well they could always cut the speed limit by half and call it silent; would you prefer that? It's an option that's given, and at full speed, it is moving a LOT of air and for such a large fan, it's not surprising the sound will be slightly louder.
This is pretty, but there are better coolers (more quiet/cooler) for less. Search vendetta 2, xigmatech, and the new sunbeam 4 pipe cooler. Each is under $40 shipped and comes with 120 mm fan.

My exact sentiments. The Sunbeam is on sale for $35 shipped after $5 rebate. It includes the most excellent tube of thermal paste, can match TRUE in performance and better than the Vendetta 2 and Xiga under high wattage. This Zalman is not in the same league.
Also, this Sunbeam I feel has much better downward force applied than the spring loaded TRUE. I like the spring attachment but those springs are way too soft and those threads strip easily. Lastly, no base lapping needed (unlike the TRUE in some warped cases).
I got this same cooler at Fry's for $19. Actually, I bought four of them, kept two and sold the other two for $50 each on eBay.
