News Metal Air Studios Copper Heatsink Radiator at GruntvillE.com

GruntvillE had the opportunity to be among the first to try out a brand new product for the air-cooling market:

"The principle is quite simple; the radiator is designed to help move heat from the "dead spot" under the hub of a fan out to the edges where it will be safely dissipated. It looks kinda cool and with claims that this simple add-on can lower your load CPU temps by 3C, this is something that needs checked out. So just what is this radiator? Well, it is fabricated from 1mm copper and is about 120x90x10mm and weighs in at 74g. As you can see in the pictures, there are fins coming out from three sides as well as 2 copper discs that come with it, one of them 1mm the other 2mm thick (more on these during installation). The unit itself is a pre-production so it wasn't polished up as I assume the others will be. The area where the discs or HS attach was nice and smooth but much of the rest of it was marred. I can only assume that "IF" it goes to production it will have a better finish."

Looks a little odd, IMHO. Does it live upto the manufacturers claims? Full details here

 

Wow, truly awful!

 

What a piece of crap.. wow!

 

Who thought that bloody thing up

 

Well, like it says in the review, the concept is good but the results didn't turn out.

 

Jeez that looks awfull.

If the design is improved a bt and more 'fins' are added it might work better though.

EDIT :

Looking at the pic I thought it meant to install underneath your heatsink Only now saw that it goes on top!

Still sucks IMO.
