Link works for me...
And TBH, I wouldn't expect that cooler to keep up especially if you play to overclock. Those are just barely better then the stock coolers. 
My suggestion would be for the Mugen II, or maybe the Core Contact Freezer. | |

Its really that bad of a cooler? Because I don't want to waste my time installing it, I just figured at the price it would be good enough? | |

Are you planning on overclocking? If so, I'd really suggest something different.
I've never heard anything good about those coolers. A member of the folding team bought one when they were uber cheap a year ago or so, and he ended up taking it back the next day. | |
