In the review the fan is attached to the heatsink by a black shroud, that should be airtight really, but on one side there's a sizeable gap between it and the heatsink:

You can see on the side facing the camera that there's no shroud between the fan and heatsink.

Oh I see, Thanks,
Nothing a bit of duct tape cant fix though :rolleyes:

Not but really I wonder why they done that, myabe to have less air going through the fins, may of made more noise :confused:

Less air going through the fins kind of ruins the point of having a powerful, large fan, they could have just used a slower one if they wanted less noise.

But yeah, duct tape should sort it nicely :)
 
for goodness sake these heatsinks are just getting ridiculous, if you're really that desperate to get high end cooling get water!

I bet that is a monumental pain in the ass to fit too, and can it be that much better than a freezer pro? Couple of degrees maybe to have a decent crack at bending your motherboard?
 
At that height off of the motherboard with that much weight behind it, I wouldn't trust it not to rip itself out of it's bracket in transport. The first speed bump would surely ruin your motherboard.
