That heatpipe spacing though...

So the middle heat pipe is going to do most of the work...

Great, another TX3 competitor. For under 40 bucks I think I'll still be recommending Cryorig unless by some miraculous happenstance these have unforseen incredible performance, which judging by the gaps in the heatpipes is unlikely. There's a reason Cooler Master moved away from that design on their low end coolers like the 212, because it's inefficient.

If this was a 20-25 dollar cooler, it might have a place.

the pipe spacing is just like my CM tx3. and works like a charm! so this should be right down the same path as the tx3.

From what I read elsewhere, the pricing is recommended at the 40 dollar and 35 dollar range (for the 140mm and 92mm respectively)

Why would anybody want to pay 35 bucks for a cooler that performs like a TX3, when you can get a TX3 for $18.99. TX3 isn't drastically better than a stock cooler anyhow.

Agree, no use purchasing when there are definite better options.
