it is a relatively easy install and has resulted in a 30 degree C improvement for me.
My Crucial 6400 runs at 5600. I think we are stuck at 5600.

== take off the existing Dell heatsink by unscrewing 4 screws.
(disconnect and take note of the power supply connector to the motherboard)
== use paper towel to take off old thermal paste
From Thermalake Peerless Assassin SE 120 V2 materials...
[[[ == take the Fan Power Y cable, and connect it to the motherboard CPU Fan header you just disconnected the existing CPU Fan from]]]
== put the four little round spacers over the screw holes you just exposed
== screw the two mounting brackets (perpendicular to the memory) into the four screw holes, using the Thermalake enclosed screws
== apply included Thermalake thermal paste
== remove protective sticker from CPU Heatsink
== place the (Large) Heatsink device onto the CPU and screw in the two pre-installed screws into the two Mounting Bracket stubs. screw it in reasonably tight but not too tight
=== take the two ThermaLake Fans and, using the paperclip brackets, mount them to the middle and memory-side of the Heatsink. [ for the middle fan, you will need to stretch the clips out to wiggle in down into the center of the heatsink]
[[[ Airflow facing AWAY from MEMORY CHIPS towards back of case...there are airflow diagrams on the outside of the fans]]]
=== connect the fan power bracket to the included Y Connector wire...and the Y wire to the motherboard CPU Fan header (where you just disconnected the other one)...... this part is a little tight to get your fingers in there....so maybe connect the Y Wire to the Motherboard first. (that would have been easier---so I just added that step up top.)
Easiest CPU fan mount I ever had to do. Hope this helps.
