This has become a more or less standard design nowadays, simply because it is very effective at removing heat from the CPU.

Installation
The installation process for the Hyper TX3 went well. However, it was not as smooth as I had hoped. In fact, mounting the cooler was the easy part – just as easy as the stock Intel cooler. Just simply ensure the pins are in the correct position and then press until they click firmly into place.

The hard part was actually attaching the fan to the heatsink itself. The included clips for holding the fan in place were a bit of a pain to catch properly. This could have been due to its tension design for keeping the fan in position. With a bit of patience, it all came together quite nicely.
The anti-vibration pads included on the fan was also a very nice touch. Also, keep in mind that Cooler Master has included an additional pair of clips in case you decide to add another 92mm fan to the setup in order to achieve a push-pull configuration. The single fan by default runs quietly even at full speed.
