Not bad for a first review. Certainly better than a "mainstream" review. A few problems:
1. No C/W chart. This makes it difficult to extrapolate results for different CPUs
2. Bad temp chart. This is difficult to read with accuracy.
3. Aerogate is has not been validated as accurate. Lay down $50-$100 for a decent set up if you plan on doing these reviews regularly.
4. The IHS has an impact on a coolers performance. This makes the comparison of HSFs slightly inaccurate, though I wouldn't dock you for it simiply because I don't like the concept of an IHS (anit crush pads on the side would do just fine).

This is all IMHO of course. I hope it helps.
