I wish they would make an all copper version.

I like their products, but I don't get it. This configuration has been widely used the past few years and Cool Age was not the first to implement it. Potential patent troll?

Anything over the $20 Cooler Master Hyper 212 is overkill. You'll be spending 2x-3x times the money to get a slight performance increase.

It is the 6 heatpipes they are patenting. Most heatsink use 2 to 4.

I'm skeptical about this "Wind Tunnel" technology. Is it just a marketing gimmick, or does it really improve cooling? Guess we'll have to wait on some benchmarks!

Either way, i'll stick with my TRUE.

If I would to ever buy this I dread cleaning it, sure it will out perform most coolers out there but I typically use my rig up to 12-15 hours a day so dust builds up very quickly making monthly cleaning essential. The folds to the many fins make it difficult to properly maintain a clean surface for optimal performance which can be negated in a hot and humid climate. Compressed air does a good job getting rid of the fluff but not the fine film.

meh... ill stick with my Scythe Mugen 2 w/ 110cfm fan on it ^.^

Too expensive, $20 is max for me (not liquid).

I know our patent system is all crazy and messed up, but can you really patent a number? That's basically what you're saying they're doing.

My Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme already uses 6 heatpipes. Exactly what are they patenting?

The Hyper 212 I found on Newegg is NOT $20.

I already own sixty nine.

 

[descendency]

I should file a patent for 42...

 

[tharkis842]

I'll stick with my hdt-s1283, thanks.

You should wait for a bit before you do. [:mousemonkey]

Now that is some good piping I love this thing besides easy cleaning

5lbs of copper, ouch. I hope people that use that keep their motherboard flat, or at least build some supporting arm or something into their case. I thought my old Zalman 7700cu was heavy.

Sorry, should have said 4.2 lbs

 

[hot74rod2003]

all the cooler hype is too much... just get a scythe mugen 2 and be done with it

 

[intelliclint]

Another thing you should look out for is coolers that have too small of holes that dust will get trapped in. Dust is not a good conductor of heat and prevents proper air flow. One of the first Zelman coolers I got was great at handling dust as it spreads out wide enough between the fins that dust does not start to cake to them.
