Rated 5 out of 5 by JTL2877 Great cooler
I was after something to replace my stock cooler, I'm running a Bitfenix Prodigy which house's an ITX motherboard. Took me a while to pick a cooler as I had to make sure it fit my motherboard and left me plenty of space to still fit my GFX card. Height isn't an issue with my case.
This cooler does the trick, it is costly at around the £45 mark, however I think its worth it. Its quieter than the stock cooler, I found it very simple to install. The only issue I had was due to the case (I had to remove the motherboard to install) but it was quick and simple.
I was running at around 37/40c while idle in the current hot weather and 60c or so underload with the stock cooler. Now its around 27/33c idle and the max I've seen underload is 48c, so it does it job very well and well worth the money if you need a cooler in general or something for an ITX motherboard.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gustavo21 Extremely quiet, hard to assemble
This cooler is extremely quiet, it's keeping a stock Haswell i5 at 30 C. It was however quite difficult to mount but I eventually understood what to do, perhaps if I had seen a video of it being assembled I wouldn't have had that issue. For the price it is great, the quality is great which is what I expect of Noctua. Would buy again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Edward With the low noise adapters on both fans you can hardly hear it even with your ear right next to it.
It is compatible with an LGA1155 socket (this is not stated on the website).
On my board (P8Z77-V PRO) it blocked the closest memory socket from use when the second fan was installed.
