Anyone heard of a release date for these?

They're out! (but just not in OcUK)
Doesn't come with fans so you need to order two as well.

I found them on 2 sites but both didnt have stock (I called them and there was no current ETA).

I think it'll be somewhere in the same region as the ultra 120 (so around £30 ex) which is pretty good value for the sheer amount of copper and aluminium! Some reviews would be nice though, and also to see if it will snap your board in half!

Some people over on xtremesystems have it and rate it highly. There are a couple reviews around too showing it can capably passivly cool overclocked c2d's which is quite good. I just like the fact that it can cool almost all the important parts of your motherboard at the same time, good for passively cooled boards.

I must admit I was thinking about buying this product. One site has it at £24.99 but no stock. Was suppose to be 16th March.

I take it the other site you found it on says it's "Same Day Despatch" but they dont have any? If it is in stock not sure if I would be paying £38.62 for it!

Reviews I have read have given it some praise, but I am just unsure about the physical size, and the weight. Must be safe though - most of these things are well tested before release.

Hope Overclockers get em in soon, could be a good seller.

Aye same place and I wont be paying £38 + 2 fans + shipping for it! Im not concerned about the weight, my Tuniq is a similar weight and its fine. if it borks my board Ill wriggle something out of Coolermaster as their product is clearly not fit for sale!

A quick read of a review seems it's not that great - nothing that the Tuniq doesn't do already

indeed and the mounting seems abit poor, just 4 nuts that screws in at the back of the mobo. You'd expect at least some back plate support for a heatsink of this size and weight!

ive read a few reviews and one of them was against other easier to fit and lighter hs/fans and there was nothing in it to be honest

Richdog · 22 Mar 2007 at 21:34

Come on guys... that is absolutely bloody ridiculous! The size is stupidly prohibitive and it's no better than a TT 120! Sod the extra airflow over the mobo, for 99% of people with a good mobo that's not going to make any difference to their OC.

It's in stock!

So who's going to be the first to try one?

To me it seems completely ridiculous, there must be hundreds of compatibility issues with cases/moterboards/ram.

- CPU+Board Cooler Design cools CPU and its surrounding components
- Compatible with AMD X2 Dual Core, Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme.

- Complete cooling solution cools CPU and its surrounding components (motherboard, memory, VRM, chipset and VGA cards)

- Fan bracket design for mounting two 120 mm fan cools mainboard.

- Flexible bracket design provides interference-free installation

- Copper base with 6 heat pipes design creates superior cooling performance

- Huge aluminum fin design for excellent heat dissipation.

Note:
This product is not compatible when you install the RAM that is up 45mm high
