One Word of warning:
If you have an AMD CPU (just look in your System Setting) be extremly careful while replacing your Cooler. Failure in setting the cooler not 100% upright or applying too much pressure to the clamps while mounting the whole thing to the cpu Socket will result in cracking the "DIE", the heart of your CPU.
And be sure, to apply thermal grease only on the DIE, not everywhere else on the CPU.
Good Luck
