I needed a cpu cooler for an XPS 8920 and decided on the Shuriken 2 after looking for a few days. After reading forever about proprietary backplates, clearance, and what will and won't work, I decided to pick this up. The directions show that it uses their backplate for an Intel setup. That was a no go in my situation because the backplate I have has holes for the cpu mount to fasten to. On the website it shows the AMD mounts without their backplate, and just uses screws and the spacers. So if you pick up 4 3Mx20mm screws it'll mount just like the AMD does. They should just include the screws so they have everything covered. So any 8910 8920 8930 users looking for a replacement cpu cooler, this will work without having to modify your plate/mount.
As for the cooler, it runs really quiet. Dropped my temps by 10c. Took about 15 mins to take the old one off, clean up the cpu, put the paste on, and install the new one. No issues with clearance. Looks good too.

Made for Node 202
My first cooler for this build was a low profile Noctua one, but it was too low so it couldn't pull fresh air into the case. I swapped out for this one. The heat sink is a bit thicker and just the right height to reach the case cover (I had to removed the dust filter to fit it though). It solves my heating problem, however, I have to use the Noctua fan from the old cooler as this fan is really loud under load. When it comes to noise, nothing beats Noctua.
