The cooler probably won't cause any damage to the processor, but you'll want to go ahead and monitor temperatures to make certain. As for the noise level, anything under 30 dBA is pretty quiet comparatively to power coolers available.

It's possible that the stock Intel HSF may work better.

Well, I found an actual test between the stock cooler, this cooler, and a volcano cooler and some other one. This cooler came in SECOND place, and was like the quietest. The other cooler that came in first was twice the money and really loud. Thx for your info guys. Mods can delete this if they want... (now my comp will run even cooler cause ill take the old cooler fan off and use it as a case fan ;)

Why don't you post the link to that test so that some of us may know exactly the HSF that you're talking about?
