This huge 140mm heat sink consists of esentially 2 Ultra 120 Extemes!

"Includes a back-side dual heatpipe heatsink" I have no idea where that goes! but looks good

Looks pretty good.

Well unless cases start to get bigger they are running out of space!

rofl thats insane

Wait for few years and thermalright releases case which is 80% heatsink

Good lord

Cant wait to see some bench marks, it must slaughter any competition.

Would rather just go to alternative cooling methods now tbh. Heatsinks have become a joke.

I cannot be the only person who thinks all modern heatsinks are ugly peices of ****, nothing comes close to the industrial look of the Alpha PAL series.

I dont think i would feel safe knowing that thing is strapped to a fairly flimsy piece of PCB, i got horrib images of it just coming loose, falling and taking half of the motherboard with it

BlackDragon · 11 Jul 2007 at 20:34

Same thoughts as gonzo. Especially when i take my case to LANs!

as if most people care lol. i bought my heatsink to cool my cpu, not to look cool

I actually think modern heatsinks look awesome, it sort of shows off how powerful your PC is, and that it needs such a big heatsink to keep it cool.

No, watercooling and/or phasechange does that. A large heatsink just looks like a deformed hunk of metal that will bend your mobo.

lol I think large heatsinks look awsome, watercooling is deffinately cooler though, however, it is more expensive and more hassel.

tom_e · 11 Jul 2007 at 21:18

if they start getting much bigger their going to have to ship mobo trays with fixings to bolt these things to

There ok if u dont have a windowed case cause you dont have to explain to your mates what that huge chunk of metal is doing sticking out your motherboard. This then leads you onto to talking about how you spent £40 just to get your CPU a few degrees cooler :cool:

"How very dare you"

My heatsink at the moment

although will be on a Swiftech Ultra system by the weekend

Promise not to laugh......

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Looks funny but is good at its job

OMG huge. I have to say some heat sinks are plain ugly. Zalman still make very good looking and performing ones. Though i have to say cases will have to get bigger or cpus are gona have to get cooler.

HAz · 11 Jul 2007 at 21:55

Campest heatsink ever!!!
