This could be of interest to those building SFF systems. Apart from the seemingly mandatory RGB and general flying saucer appearance (which is all personal preference anyway), the big selling point is the huge solid "Heat Column" instead of individual heat pipes. CM are claiming this design gives the cooler a TDP of 130W, which if true, makes it a nice option for smaller rigs. Total height is 74.5mm, but I don't know what RAM clearance will be like. It's out pretty soon apparently, so hopefully we'll see some reviews in the coming weeks.
 
Too bad the fan can't be be mounted to pull up. I've found these pancakes more often then not have cooler airflow through fins if air is flowing away form motherboard instead of to motherboard, where it turn out, hits RAM and GPU turning up along sides of cooler and fan where it is likely drawn back into cooler .. unless there is an intake vent with fan directly above cooler fan.
