My first thought was that there would be no need for the CPU pads with this one!!
Anyone else ever seen these or know if they have been reviewed??

that look like it might actually rock -but as far as HS are concerned the bigger the surface ares the greater the heat dissapation-its easier to get rid of heat from a 3in piece of metal over a 1cm piece -with a small contact piece like that i doubt it do that good- other wise the design looks superior

Looks cool, but I don't like the plastic cover. That would only help retain heat.

I found a review on it but it doesn't say anything about how it sits on the core.
They are rated for up to 1.5 gig...???

It does look like a good design, but I agree that the shroud would limit heat disipation. The idea is to direct air flow, but I bet it hinders more than helps.

*sniff sniff* Smells like an orb.

Looks too cool to be piratical.

Water cooling rocks. Swim along little fishes, the big metal orb is far away. :)

Isn't that one of the new Zalmans? I don't know how they perform, but someone used them on a board, I think it's the new Asus board review at hardocp.

My big Coolermaster is rated to 1.5 ghz too, but it is big so it reinforces your ego.

This is one of the Molex quiet HSFs. It's NOT great for cooling, about as good as your stock OEMs. Definitely not something to overclock with. What it is is very quiet. It's also a pretty good cooler for PIIIs and Celerons. No way would I use it on a Tbird or Duron, no way. I think frostytech.com had a review on this particular cooler in the last month.

lol will the whole consept of that hsf is to be quiet. :) Btw you should realy check out the fan I just got. I posted about it in the cooling section under fan of all fans I think.

Any way here is some more propaganda about the cooler in question
