New cooler on the block!

Ah ok, I think they test it without any case as I can see Ace in the photo (no case there) could be testing on the bench! Remember if it was inside case it would add another 4-6C in temp !

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.

Who needs a case?! Cases are over rated

Think of the temps bulldog...

A case should drop your temps, and make your system quiter - well a good one with a bit of thought will

Guessing you can't get massive RAM under that somehow ;p

May be able to, Depends how easy them heat pipes bend, No warranty OC.

Out of interest, how good are the Prolimatech Blue 140mm Fans? I am thinking about getting this heatsink (waiting for more tests/reviews first) and placing 3 Blue 140mms on it. They state they shift 87CFM (Max) at 18db, but my current apaches shift 57CFM at 16db. Any thoughts on this? (BTW I dont really know that much about fans for heatsinks).

Interesting concept.

It's a clone of the Coolermaster V10, it should perform well.

Just what I need for my Zacate/ITX build!

Unless your going to record the T delta its hard to say how impressive these new coolers are (although at £65 with no fans it better be nothing less then great) and just comparing absolute values is meaningless.

Certainly interesting...

Also nice to know you can fit dominator RAM under it if you wanted to...

I have also seen this tonight. I have now decided not to go for one of these coolers. I was actually going to buy one with 3 of those fans he used to review with too. Sticking with my megahalems for now.

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.

I like it

Watch from 5:35, the reviewer says Corsair Dominator GT will just fit:

Those blue fans really compliment it. Looks smart. Or his case and clear fans help as well.

Yeah, Tom over at Overclock3d.net didn't think too much to it, seemed to get a lot higher temps than you did Ace, however his was also in a full case, not on a test bench.

J-FRO · 16 Mar 2011 at 10:31

Surely that is going to make it very difficult for some people to install big ram cards.

Fatboyuk2 · 16 Mar 2011 at 11:42

looks cool (no pun ment)

It about right temperature betwen mid 85-90C inside case with that cooler. Nochua NHD14 is probably win hand down
