You gotta see this. Fluid filled heatsink to move the heat from one end of the sink to the other, 2 40mm fans, and a cool plastic cover.

That was an innapropriate joke considering the recent events in America. Please don't joke about that anymore.

Well I must say that is a rather interesting design... Hell I was thinking of trying to come up with an idea like that... figures someone beats me too it... lol... oh well.. I can come up with something better im sure... just takes time and resources... to bad I dont have the resources!!!

I've seen another heatsink with a radiator design like that, but the webpage was entirely in Japanese.

They also said it really didn't perform that well. :p

It looks pretty, but, then again, the Orb line looks pretty too, and we all know how THEY perform . . .

Well, it sure LOOKS cool, but I have serious doubt. Copper transfers heat better than water. The only reason we use water in our rigs is becuase we can efectively move the water away with the heat and cool it in a sizeable radiator.

I'm betting this things performance will be substantially less than a HSF 2/3rds the size.

It doesnt matter to me...all it has to do is out perform these two FOP-32's that I have and I will buy two of these.

Nice thing about these Intel's two of them are still cooler than 1 AMD. I can run cool sinks like this and get away with it, and still have a 1000Mhz+ OC.
