it got slated on bit tech

i got the original V1 on my quad at the moment - its noisy - but does the job

they noted that this model seemed flimsy and they broke it in 5 mins!

my V1 is quite sturdy - have battered it arount 5 cpu changes and an amd to intel platform change too

Looks interesting though, never been one for Thermaltake coolers. This looks similar to a Zalman

i know - i actually quite like my original V1 it just suffers from a poor mounting mechanism
for both amd and intel platforms

i have to say though - it is keeping the ole' q6600 cool at 3.2GHz

and that is on half fan speed

dont know it it was just a bad review sample but the new version just seems like the classic case of 'more heatpipes = more sales"

i took the blue LED out of my original V1 - have they got it in this one?

blue leds are worse than spending the day in primark
