    It's nice to see something getting improved, but how many around here actually buy Extreme-editions and how many of those actually use the reference cooling?

    Hmm... Looks interesting. Does anybody know if it uses heatpipes or just a fat block of copper?

    I never did like those push pin configurations, regardless, it’s surely an improvement; still, I can’t help but wonder (to echo Jipa) if the clientele purchasing an extreme edition would settle for stock cooling even when as neatly presented as this.

    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

    Of course, they screwed it up - it needs heatpipes. Everywhere. Lots of them.

    Sure Zalman has made the most popular coolers with that design, but they are in the paying end of the license fees as well...
