Good review, just a shame about the lacking performance at a ridiculous price.
Nice review, thanks. Purple is my fave colour and I wouldn't buy this. It looks garish and cheap. Aesthetics aside, you'd expect a twin-tower triple-fan to perform well or are they using the third fan just for marketing or to make up for some shortcomings? Either way, going by your results, they've failed.

Those fans are just.... SEX.ON.A.STICK.
Seriously, they need to start selling those fans on their own. Shame about the cooler itself, but oh my those fans! Do want!!!

Ever since I got my Noctua NH-D14 I have been a huge fan(no pun intended) of the twin tower design, and I see no reason why when a manufacturer releases a twin tower product it would not perform to or at least close to the noctua or silver arrow!!!!
I mean come on, there really is no excuse. Smaller coolers have the limitation of size and usually aesthetics. These twin tower coolers have no such restrictions. I see their only purpose is to perform to a high level!! (though I personally love twin tower designs
) which is why I am always excited by the thought of a new twin tower offering. But again we, the twin tower brigade have been let down so I and many others will be sticking with the trusted if a little long in the tooth Noctua
Have the NH-D14 and the Silver Arrow really hit the limit of what an air cooler is capable of doing?
I would love a better looking alternative to the NH-D14, and will be one of the first to buy such a product if it ever materialises.

Well, the Havik 140 performs close to the 'D14 etc. and that's only a single (albeit huge) tower. I wonder what kind of performance it would yield if it was doubled.

if I could weld I would stick two Havik's together and give it a go, that would be interesting
I really like the look of the Havik, though when I think about it maybe its the blade design on
the fans that I cant see past, I think those fans look bloody awesome
I may order some of
them to see what they are like, Oh no, wait, I cant, I'M POOR!!!!

If it were me, I would have sent it back because of the uneven, thus defective, heatsink towers. I seriously doubt that the contact area would have stayed perfect after being manhandled like that during assembly.
Another sign that this sample was a dud, is how the screws supporting the base seem uneven in the photo(s).
I am not a fan of the 'direct contact' heatsink design because the spacers between the heat pipes will never be as efficient as a thick and solid copper base. Still, it would be nice to see this one redone with a proper sample.
At least this isn't as bad as TTL's Zalman 9900(MAX?) review. That fan was wobbling soo bad, I'm surprised the rig didn't shimmy off the table ! lolz..And yes, its STILL giving me nightmares, Tom.
