there is a few reviews of this up on youtube, personally i think you get better results with something like the d-14. plus dont really want to have 4 fans running at once just on the cpu cooler even if they are running at low rpm's. wonder if they could have made a custom fan that would allow you have only 1 on there.

1.5kg and 4x100mm fans, insane

Clearance looks surprisingly good.

It has 4x100mm fans so in theory you could fit a 200mm fan to it with some modded clips.

At least it's lighter than the all copper TRUE, that beast weighed in at 1.9kg without fans.

How does this perform and compare to other coolers then?

Reaper 392 · 17 May 2011 at 23:03

just out of interest, exactly how tall is that? i can see its 200mm x 200mm, but no where does it mention the height

I'm surprised that they didn't opt for a 200mm fan in the first place. Anyone care to venture a reason why? At the moment it's effectively got 5 hubs that don't pull any air, compared to one for a single 200mm fan.

Also, the built-in PCI fan controller implies a lack of PWM control, which is surprising for a CPU heatsink fan.

Also, the fact that it vents air to the side panel restricts this unit to a very small number of cases - ones with 200mm fan mounted in the side panel (e.g. the Coolermaster Storm) or an almost entirely mesh vented panel (can't think of any examples).

For the same price, you can get an Antec 920 or a Corsair H70 or (for cheaper) a Noctua DH-D14, all of which use push-pull fans to expel air out the standard 120mm hole at the back of the case - whilst this unit can only use fans to pull air from the heatsink.

Not really sure if this is a good cooler or not in this price bracket. Only comparative testing will tell.
