If this turns out to be as good as I expect, I'll be getting one.
Problem with Limited release.
If you wait to find out how it performs... you wont be able to get one...

Don't worry, I will give an honest review, but unfortunately I will be at work offshore when it comes in so my testing will have to wait until I get back in from offshore. But I will test with both a DC Conroe and a Q6600 against a lapped TRUE that I already own. Since these are so dammed expensive I would hate to see people buying them if they don't give markedly better performance than a regular TRUE.
You know that's a slick looking heatsink, lots of people call these things huge, but the Alpha 3125 and the Swiftech MC2000 from a decade ago for secc2 cpu's still are the reigning kings of huge heatsinks for consumer use.
The Alpha 3125 is still my favorite heatsink of all time
Yes, I used to have one of the Alpha 3125 heatsinks myself. That was one awesome heatsink for slot 1 systems and while it was big, wasn't that hard to fit inside the case or have clearance problems on the mobo.
This cooler is indeed special, we usually get previews/reviews before things hit the shelves and now here we are a week after the launch and nothing.
Regarding alphas, I really loved them as well, had a 3125 and a couple of others for family members. Could never understood how could they fall so behind. >.<

Picked mine up from Sidewinder computers and it is installed on my 780i, and I mounted it vertical, the mounting system seems to be fine and it dosent seem to be bowing the board at all.
