Lots of hype, but I haven't heard from any actual users.

Saw a review (forget where, maybe oc.com), said they were pretty midrange as coolers go, definitely not worth $100.

For 100 dollars thats near a water cooling rig.

It is in 7th place of the heatsink performance.

There's a link of Heatsink performanceon the main page and you'll be able to read about it.

Here's a final word from Joe in his review.

"Overall, the ZEN may hold some real promise IF costs come down significantly (retail is over $100) and mounting issues are overcome. "

Yeah, I read a review of it too. Marginal cooling, and the reviewer killed his mobo installing it. He had to use so much force to install it, he slipped and gouged the traces that come out from under the socket by the tabs.
That looks awfull heavy to be using tabs anyway.

He said great idea, but better off as a prototype. It's built by a radiator manufacturer, this is their first shot at computer cooling. Once they get the radiator working better, they should go to a 4 bolt mount. Then maybe it'll kick butt.

eh?
