I am a fan (pun intended) of less fans. I really hope this technology can continue to grow and be polished to the point of a workable cooling solution for overclocked procs. Also it looks fantastic, I love the design.
 
Or a good case with good airflow would make this amazing?

Thing is, if it needs a case with good airflow for it to work then that means you've lost the "silent" aspect so then you might as well stick a Noctua in there which is suppose to be near silent anyway and gona be able to deal with anything you then throw at it. Plus, a Noctua wouldn't cover the PCI slots and its cheaper.

Saying that though, I would like to see Tom do a review on this just to see how well it really performs. If it could be used to build a completely fan-less media PC or something than that would be great.
 
it can only handle 100w tdp so while its good for a stock system so are a few other heatsinks, my ifx14 could deal with that passive and its a couple of years old now :|

edit

it does look good tho

Thats what HE said? :S

A silent media pc would be good.

If you where to have a big 200+mm fan on the side pannel of the case would it increase the cooling enough maybe?

would be good to see tom do this one!

Wow it's HUGE O.o

EDIT: Anyone that says "That's what she said" shall be shot.

Any case with decent airflow will improve its cooling performance. But yes side fans blowing into it will help, exhausts fans pulling air through it will work.
