Xigmatek gave no word on when the unit would be coming to shelves

Hopefully they put it in the refuse bin instead.

I am not convince that two heat sinks are more effective then one big one. just from a logical stand point.

 

[Shin-san]

I don't see too much of a point in having dual heatsinks, unless you are taking the heat away to a distance. I'm also hating how large the heatsinks have gotten, and really prefer water cooling

about the only thing i could see from such a HS is having the ability of the larger fan being able to turn off while idling but keeping the other smaller fan on to keep cooling the cpu. Although that would be difficult to do in terms of setting up the MB cpu fan setting.....

Beyond that, there is no other idea that can come to my mind that would make sense to have a large and small fan working together.

I like my Xigimatek Gaia, simple and makes sense..... This cooler, not so much....

get rid of that plastic. it'll just contain the heat.

a picture without the shroud would've been nice. will need fewer words to describe it

Xigmatek never gave me my rebate the last cooler I purchased. Shady a$$holes...you've been warned!

 

[nebun]

ugly and not very practical....airflow doesn't look very optimal
