I must admit, 59C is a lot while the N520 on full load, 12 hour span reaches slightly over 40C dude. Are you overclocking the beast?
There is always a lot speculation on this particular company for their flashy product line and much less quality (Cosmos S chassis ~ JOKE!) but this cpu cooler is well crafted & I'm surprised.
xguntherc, that's the way all wiring's in a chassis should be proposed. You have tools to work out with the chassis but not all of them are like that.

im a lil confused by your post? I had the coolermaster V8 is the N520 the same thing? anyway, i was not happy with it, looked great but just didnt work...sent it back and saved money with this cooler

and getting great performance

right now i am OC'ing my core i7 920 to core i7 965 (3.2ghz) I can go to 3.8ghz but backed it back down...

my 3dmark score is almost in the 20k mark.... not bad i must say
