I have seen another radiator heatsink the Zen Cooler. Not that this one is the same but the Zen Cooler reviews suck. Very quiet but poor performance. Don't know about this one though, would be interested if it could compare with the Swiftech and Alpha.

it has something about it on this review, but I cant really understand what is comparing it to, or what it scored maybe you will have some sucess. Its not the 478 its the 370 on this one btw.

Also found this:
Cooling Project 06:22 am - Kan
If you understand Japanese, HardwarePlus pointed out an article over here on some cooling project going on. To translate briefly (Kan knows Japanese?!), they used the Kendon cooling unit to cool a P2-333 MHz and managed to overclock it to 620 MHz.

Also if you understand German(I thinks thats what this is):
Über Kühler?
Eigentlich ist dieser Kühler ein Mini Radiator der von Kendon stammt und KR-1 heisst. In ersten Tests bei VR-Zone hat er einen Alpha P3225 alt aussehen lassen. (Tim)

and if you understood that check this link out http://www.iq-hardware.de/news/arc1-2001.html and look for Kendon on the page.

Sorry thats all I could find.

Here's a partial translation of the graph results from the site I posted later.

Quote"Well comparing both, you probably will understand? You don't understand in the kind of graph which is similar? The point which it should observe does being something which displays the temperature difference of room temperature and the cooling area in the graph which shows with the line of color of the sea. In other words, it is the evidence that the extent where the temperature difference here is large to be good it is cold. In alpha maximum of 44.39 DEGC it records the KENDON Radiator maximum of 41.97 DEGC vis-a-vis. The difference is what and 2.42 DEGC.
As for just that being able to obtain that much advantage, vis-a-vis room temperature don't you think? it is the case that it can be cooled. What and the biggest heat sink of alpha is surpassed. With present, air cooled Peltier being to actualize the thermal transport which cannot be actualized, it does
The point which it should observe to other things is the curve of going down condition of temperature. The KENDON Radiator it understand does that the fall is quick? Don't you think? it means that that much the thermal transport quantity has released heat largely quickly. It is this ‚Á ‚Ä enormous thing, but. The fact that could be proven simply the KENDON Radiator is superior even just simple experiment. Gripping the finger, without seeing, this is buying. This time, it is the turn where you are astonished. It is and also can actualize air cooled Peltier simply the splendid tool is not the manufacturer and respect is displayed in the individual being made." End Quote

It's a crappy translation but you can make some things out.
 
I think thats a HUGE improvement over the Zen 'core crusher' as it appears to utilize the Mobo with 4 bolts to affix it, the Zen 'core crusher' Used the socket lugs.

The Zen Cooler is made just to replace a regular heatsink. This one does not look that much different.

If you guys look deeper into the website you'll see the pics where its mounted with a TEC..they actually sell it with a copper coldplate that bolts into the bottom and a TEC.

Whoa! These guys went overboard and put together a dual settup. Not dual cpu's but dual stacked heatsink radiators, check it out. I'll be busy with the translator now.

Here's the link

Maybe I'm missing something, but I dont see how that would do any good, do you? Havent ever seen anyone stack two swiftech MCX462's and i think I know why:)

If you look at how it is made you will see that it will work. It is a radiator with phase change liquid in the channels which are attached to the top and bottom of the heatsink equally. Further, the first one has a pelt under it so the second one is drawing off heat from the first so that it doesn't have to do as much work.
 
The kendon has been around much longer than the ZEN cooler. I would say about 6 months to a year longer.
 
Here's another thing from kendon which looks easy to make. They use it with two pelts and a copper cold plate. I've seen this same concept elsewhere but had a more complex central portion.
 
I'm impressed that the same basic unit can be attached to almost any form factor CPU - Slotket, Slot 1/Slot A, Socket 370, Socket A (mobo holes), Socket 423 and Socket 478.

It's just a question of what's attached to the bottom of the radiator.
