Wow hugh ass hsf, six heatpipes and two 120mm fans side by side. Covers almost a 1/3 of a standard atx mobo, looks like the thermalright xp120's bigger brother.

Wow, that's a really great design really... It doubles as a full coverage ram cooler as well which is nice. It would be nice to see some temp comparisons of this vs. the other top hsf's.

lol

It looks like a good reason to go for watercooling or phase cooling tbh. Way too big and seems a bit overkill considering the heat output of the latest core2duo's etc

I bet some people will buy it tho, even if it does cost £28 for the heatsink and £20 for the fans to go onto it.

Just hope it's fixed well and the weight is balanced.

Also just hope you don't want to get the RAM out or upgrade the RAM

Love the size, I'll take one for free.

I'd buy one if its better than my tuniq tower, was thinking of getting a ram cooler anyway (these crucial runs real hot). The asking price (around £28) is great for a high performance cooler.

OMG!

Wouldn't that rip the socket off?

 

[hongsta]

nah that'd be the 25cm fan version you're talking about, lol

More CM junk! Yes unless its braced very good it will distort the mobo and its load will magnify on the CPU. (poor cpu )

So they did end up going through with it... I remember seeing a post about this a while back on XS where something at least very similar in design was shown off at Cebit I think it was. Most of them thought it was a joke, guess not though

I'd run this cooler, but only in a desktop case - wouldn't trust it in a tower tbh..

It gives new meaning to the phrase "Oh Snap"
