I have had mine a couple of days and also think its very good.
e6300 @ 3.150 / 1.4v
Here are my temps taken with core temp / loaded with orthos:
Stock: 65 idle / 83 load
Noctua 63 idle / 74 load
With a massive reduction in noise! I also got 2 120mm 800's and now there is no noise at all from my HS/Case fans (when they are on full you CAN hear them but when you turn them down the noise disappears and the GFX/PSU becomes noticible). Thats with the heatsink @ 1000 and the case fans at 550 rpm.
Still a bit hot for my liking but noise bugs me bigtime!
I have it mounted vertically and yes it fits in my akasa eclipse... just!
EDIT:
For comparison I have just turned all the fans to full:
58 idle / 66 load
And thats still quieter than stock (I forgot to say the stock HSF was running off the MB at full whack all the time for the temps above!)

nice review
Missed out a review from the amercian website Pro Clockers on the NH-U12F. It can be found here:
Noctua NH-U12F Review - Pro-Clockers
EDIT: Can't link to it as the system here just stars out the web address, must lead to some comeptitors or something.

800g used to be about what the big socket a coolers were and they didnt have half the support these s775 with their IHS have. I never crushed a core there and I moved the machine while it was still attached, etc

My Arctic Freezer 7 Pro and e6600 at stock idles at 25C, ~50C load.
Overclocked to 3.6ghz 1.43V it idles at 33C, ~68C load.
I would say that these temps are reasonable enough for the heatsink.
The Tuniq Tower and other larger heatsinks would "probably" shed a degree or two off the load temps but not that much I guess.
No need to spend extra on these huge coolers which are a PITA to install anyway.
Just buy a cheap Arctic Freezer 7 Pro.
Nice review nonetheless.

Thanks Wayne I'll be doing another review very soon, Noctua have asked me to review their northbridge cooler, so keep a look out!!
No need for heating when you have temps like that, just huddle round the case in winter
83 load! lmao! I'd be scared to run any sort of game.
