Hi guys I need your help.
I have a Micro-atx system and planning to get me a cooler for my i5 3570K CPU@stock. I'm seeing prety high temperatures lately. Max was 76C after a game of BF3 and it's getting a bit too much for my taste. Although I'm pretty sure the warm weather is a factor at the moment I would like to push teh temps down below 70C at least.
So I've been looking at the COOLER MASTER GeminII S524 120mm Long Life

But what I can read from the feedbacks on Newegg it seems to be a bit of a pain to mount and this will be my first attempt to install a cooler so I'm having a bit doubt if this is the cooler for me. Have anyone here had experience with this cooler?
Does anyone else have a good idea for a cooler that will fit into a micro-ATX system and is fairly easy to install.
It's not that I won't be able to install the cooler, I'm not all thumbs but I really don't like the idea of being have to take out motherboard to be able to mount the cooler.
