yeh, but i can remeber where. apparently this is the best heatsink technology and is better then a sk6, it uses a heat pipe and is equal to wc

i'm waiting to see how this thing works if you put some real fans on it.

Also there's another sink coming out based on the same technology, Kendon I think it's called.

it's new technology. and it could be pretty decent, but needs a little refining. i could see some revisions of it in the future that could possibly rival lower-level watercooling. but for now, even some air coolers beat this one hands down,

Not new technology, just old technology refined to a single HSF. Previous cases using heat pipes, used the entire case as a heatsink, heat pipes would use the sides of cases to disperese heat, no fans, no noise. The only problem, the heat pipe based case I saw only supported CPUs up 900MHz and it allowed you to customize which panels you wanted to use to disperese heat.

Better fans, better clip, less plastic, try to find a less flammable coolant, and Zen might be a good cooler
