The Ashura is aesthetically pleasing and Scythe gives you a two-year warranty, great performance, and great build quality. The Ashura comes with a single GlideStream 140mm PWM fan that can handle the heat of normal use and overclocking. The offset of the fin stack makes getting to your RAM a breeze and the offset also allows you to use RAM with tall heat spreaders. If you are looking for a cooling solution that is a significant step above stock cooling, the Ashura has you covered - it is indeed a solid performer. The Ashura has a retail list price of $48.95 and I have seen it on Amazon for a few dollars less.
