New Beast of a Cpu Cooler

It has ten heatpipes, the Thermalright Ultra has 6.

But surely the TRU120E has 12, as each one acts on both sides of the heatsink? To my mind it seems that if you have a U shaped heatpipe, it effectively acts as 2. Maybe you have a point though...

I disagree here. Remember the small little fans that had to spin really fast to push a decent amount of air? They were noisy. Now we have big, 'silent' fans that push equal or greater amounts of air, besides, the fan would hardly have to spin fast, look at all that surface area on the cooler!

Yeah but the motor would probably be pretty noisy. We currently have pretty much silent 120mm fans ie: Yate Loon, Sharkoon and Noctua, that can cool pretty much any CPU adequately. I'm pretty sure that the limiting factor in cooling a CPU nowadays is the rate of thermal conductivity away from the chip itself, rather than the heat dissipation from the heatsink's fins.

If you were to take a TRU120E or Tuniq Tower and simply extend the heatsink fins to give it twice the surface area I doubt you'd see any improvements. Also, adding a much faster fan would probably have very little effect too.

I remain skeptical as to the usefulness of this. The CM Gemini II was largely ignored, and so will this.
 
Looks like it might be work in progress, the fans mounted using a cable tie to 1 of the heatpipes. That HSF must be the size of an ATX mobo so I can well see it being mounted via the actual mobo screws that hold the mobo to the case.

WTF! :eek:

Is this a kinda 'Pimp My Heatsink' show or one of those competitons where they super-size an object? Even those Molex connectors looks ogre size? :D
 
I reckon the picture is plain deceiving, making the heatsink look bigger than it actually is, it's probably no bigger than a GeminII tbh.

*I could well be wrong though*
