New cooler, it's LARGE

It's big and it's cool!
It's even bigger than the Swiftech MC462 (http://www.swiftnets.com/MC462.htm) ! And it sure looks efficient. I'd say this a good alternative for watercooling.

That's a beast!

I'd be a bit concerned about it's weight though!!

Looks pretty awesome if u ask me.

But I got a question, in one of those articles Quote:
__________________________________________________ ______________________________

We tested the temperature by installing the probe under the unit (Senfu Sensor).
__________________________________________________ ______________________________

So my question would be: As the temp is not from the CPU internal diode wouldn't the highest temp be the heatsink that is working the most effeciently ? drawing more heat off the CPU?

2 mounting methods
weighs 1 pound
costs 70$ with a choice of 2 fans
appears the tests show approx a 5c reduction in temp
they "say" it fits anything...

You beat me to it thekingofpain.

That baby measures in at 1 pound and has not been recommended by AMD nor Intel. (I doubt it will too.)

[scotter]

is it worth $70.00 though ?
I dont think so

Did you crack your knuckles, or is that just my Duron?

Seems to me that this heatsink could have a lot more surface area than it does. And considering the weight and the price, I think I'll pass.

!!!!!! doing a couple of reps every day with that you could build some muscle

I think it's funny how the reviewer rips the designer of the Kanie Hedgehog for not knowing how to build a heatsink. While I agree that the Hedgehog isn't any better than dozen of other heatsinks, neither is this piece of ****. It's actual cooling values are probably about the same as a retail Intel heatsink.

Certainly not the best cooler available, and certainly not worth $70. Just another misguided machinist with dollar signs in his eyes and too much time on his hands, IMHO

1 pound ..... geesh.... do they make a 1/2 pounder for laptops?

Weight spec's for a socket A cooler is 300 grams. This is way over that.
