    No doubt! But my point was it was only marginally cheaper than a much more effective and cool (as in awesome) 'proper' GPU only setup, plus then, double your 'investment' and have a top-notch CPU block and rad included.

    What makes the Corsair & Antec? sealed CPU units so popular, is that they offer improved performance at a small price premium. - Additionally, because any enthusiast HAS to replace the stock/reference, supplied cooler - it just makes sense to pay a few pounds more.

    While thinking about this, I wonder if the reason the H80 and H100 came into being was because the development team had knowledge of Intels upcoming LGA2011 not being shipped with a heatsink...?

    Very true, if it cools as efficiently as the stock cooler....
