Scythe Andy Samurai Master CPU Heatsink

Overclocking has been a large focus for PC enthusiasts for a long time. After all, what's better than obtaining free speed and squeezing the most juice out of your processor? Even if you are not into overclocking, another stream that has entered the ideals of building a computer can be referred as the focus on silent computing. To achieve this goal, the process requires elimination of computer parts that generates noise -- and cooling the component that's being overclocked -- namely, the CPU. How important is this? To be honest, I wasn't much into overclocking until I bought a Core 2 Duo where 50% overclocks can be achieved stably by majority of consumers without exotic equipment such as liquid nitrogen. However, despite the level of success in today's overclocking, the stock CPU cooler provided by Intel (Or AMD, for that matter) is by no means quiet nor is it optimized for overclocking. We haven't looked at any heatsink/fans for quite a while, and now we are back today taking a close look at Scythe's new Andy Samurai Master heatsink/fan. How well will this unit perform?
