I do quite a few per week (10 to 15) and we do not have any problems with them.  You must have the MB out of the case for a good install.  They also make a back plate for it for both socket's 775 and 1366.  If you read here, this is a level playing field review.  Since they use the same fan with each cooler so it actually shows the performance of the HS itself.  This to me is a great way of comparing heatsinks... it keeps things even.  Here ya go if you want to take a look at its performance, ratings, and compare it to maybe your HSF combo.
