The heat pipes on the "NEMSIS NICKEL" look like its made out of milk bottle tops!

If there after feed back why not run a comp to win a couple then have it in the rules that they have to write a review on the item.

The gold an the black coolers look great a nice finish but that nickle one needs binning
 
The nemesis looks dangerously like the K2, if it out performs it or is smaller, then fair play. But otherwise they may need some decent pricing to sway me away.

Ereboss looks pretty Beefy. Might be a nice quiet one if it cools well without fans.

Some of it does make me feel a bit strange, only because im a fan of symmetry. The two different sections on the Nemesis, or the pointy out bits on the Themis

I think these big air coolers need to tick these 3 boxes...

Look good - I think these are some nice coolers, especially that nemsis nickel, but looks are subjective, you can't really keep everyone happy in this dept.

Performance - can't say much until we see some figures on a hot chip, make sure to bundle in good fans, it's off putting to buy a cooler knowing you'll probably want to swap the fans out.

Ease of use - again, until we see it installed/get hands on feedback I can't really comment but don't make the mounting mechanism overly complicated.
 
I'm all for a decent black cooler but speaking personal taste all I look for in a cooler is size and performance first and foremost.

A cooler can look great but without performance it's worthless. If you have great performance you can look goddamned awefull (cough Noctua!)
 
As others have already said, you would be very silly to judge a cooler by looks alone.

We need performance figures on a variety of the most popular chips (standard and oc'd) and with a selection of the most popular fans as well before any of us can make any real world comments on them.

Having said that though, aesthetically speaking they all look great. However, the gold one's do nothing for me what so ever aesthetically. The gold on the cooler fins look ok, but the colour/finish on the heat pipes at the bottom of the cooler make the whole thing some how look cheap.

The cpu mounting plate on the Themis Evo Black looks unfinished, surely it should be a smooth flat surface for best possible contact with the cpu!?

I think they could do with a corroded copper (green) one. For a bit of a Steampunk look.

I don't really care if its actually made of copper or not.
 
I don't like the gold, if it was shiny 'bling' gold that may look better but still not my cuppa.

I think doing all varients in black (instead of gold) would be good. As there isn't many pure black coolers on the market, the megahalems, phanteks (all) and the Dark rock (with black top plate) are the only ones i can think of.

As said above the Nemis looks very much like the K2/D14 which isn't a bad thing.

The Ereboss looks beefy. I like it, the heatpipe layout is different..

The Themis EVO looks nice, the cutout is distingtive. I have a feeling its a budget cooler though, hopeuflly in the Macho teritory.
 
I don't like the look of the gold ones at all. The nickel ones don't look too bad. But i do like the look of the black one. But at the end of the day it all comes down to performance and price
 
The gold one looks horrible, the others look nice. Shiny and all that.

I think what actually ruins the looks is not having a fan to match em. The Red-white Raijintek one might look new and "signature", but its gonna ruin the look of any cool-looking tower.

Offtopic: That being said, I am looking forward to the slim fan coming to the market as there aren't too many slim fans available, if any.
 
Not a fan of the gold one but the others look good. I guess the gold may go with the new Z87 board design from Asus but I can't think of many others where it'll look good. Also depends on what fans, if any come bundled with them. Obviously the main reason for purchasing any high end cooler is always going to be the performance and its price. It'll certainly take something special for me to replace my (original) thermalright silver arrow. Matt black is definitely the way forward, or nickel/chrome with black fans would look pretty nice. Now a Nemesis Matt Black with a couple of decent fans would be part!!

The Nemesis looks a lot like a D14 i think

If it performs similarly and costs less - it will be a big hit i reckon

Personally the finish on the heatpipes looks a little too bumpy, perhaps they can be polished to a more rounded finish?
 
The nickel ones are more my cup of tea, would like to see matte black, don't really like the tops of the heat pipes where they leave the fins on any of them, these air coolers seem to be getting a bit generic now, id struggle to identify these from others if they wasn't embossed.
 
look like a few other coolers on the market nothing striking about them. the gold colour looks naff.

a lot of people colour code there builds who does gold ? = not many.

main thing is the temps performance also when i look at the size i wonder about the weight . a lot of people are put off by big coolers.

i would gladly test one of these if possible and do a indepth review if possible. sure others would aswell.
