I've got nothing to directly compare it to because I'm using my 212+ in my very first hombuilt currently and I never bothered to install the OEM cooler. BUT, earlier tonight I had my unlocked x3 455 folding for about an hour and a half @ 4Ghz 1.52V (loaded) and temps never broke 47 degrees (In an antec 1200 all fans 100%, ambient 22). I definetly feel like I got all I paid for!
