New Monster CPU cooler just landed.

Prolimatech Genesis Mega Performing CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775/1366/1155/1156/AMD AM2/ AM2+/AM3) @ £64.99 inc VAT

Tower CPU heatsinks have been mainstream for the past few years. While power end users may consider them to be pinnacle when it comes to performance, there are others who would prefer down draft low profile heatsinks for their versatile ability to cool not just the CPU but also its surrounding components such as RAM, MOSFET, and Northbridge chipset heatsink. Genesis combines the best of both worlds with top-notch engineering design and superior built quality and performance that are surpassed by none. Either 120mm or 140mm can be installed on the Genesis for a maximum installation of 3 fans of your choice! If you are looking to overclock your CPU to the max while keeping your system stable, we highly recommend the ultimate CPU heatsink, Genesis. The New Era of Super Cooler has arrived.

- High clearance for better motherboard compatibility
- Massive cooling range; cools not only CPU but also MOSFET and RAM
- Cooler surrounding temperature allowing more stable environment for higher overclock
- Takes both 12 and 14cm fans for a maximum installation of 3 fans
- Six high quality heatpipes for effective heat transfer
- Light weight at 800 gs (without fans) in the highend class
- Intel and AMD platform supported. All mounting hardwares are included
- Suggested Fans: 800-1600 RPM
- 6 x 6mm heatpipes

Only £64.99 inc VAT.

We are currently testing this and will have benchmark results soon.

Fans are not included, I added the fans for the photo shoot.

New flagship cooler I think! - We tested it with 2 x 1000RPM Sharkoon Fans.

Is this product endorsed by Phil Collins?

Phil Collins has retired due to not being able to get to the ST-ST-ST-Studio!

It doesnt affect the expansion slots the vertical heatsink fan is pointing towards the rear of your case and the PCI-E slots are clear from obstruction

Ace Modder. I was trying to make a rough comparison between this and my NH-D14. My i7 950 is running at 4.2GHz and using the same voltage as that 920 but my idle temperatures are about 10C higher (although my CPU has speed step disabled so its always at a constant 4.2GHz) and my load temperatures go to upper 70s/low 80s. If those results weren't done in a case then it might explain why the difference is so much.

Open air.

Quirky design - does it still prevent you from using tall RAMsinks?

Also isn't it just going to blow hot/warm air down, over your other parts? Seems unusual :|

The air blown over your motherboard and RAM will still help cool over no flowing air, even will a little ambient heat from the fins.
