Nope in USA, got it from TT direct for review (to come @ www.3dxtreme.net ). ;)

As dnottis said, it(Big Tsunami) is available at newegg, also they've had it at least for a month. I remember checking TT's site and then newegg for it.

The SonicTower is available here, but is currently out of stock. :(

Damn clips never gave good enough clamping for bare dies, my hyper6 dropped temps by 10c. :shock2: May get one myself (thinks about stack of 120mm fans @ home).

@ dnottis

will the TT allow you to mount to a "naked" core ? without IHS ?

I might give it a try ;)

No, I've mounted it directly onto the core, with out heatspreader. No problem so far and great performance. Really a great cooler. I've build this machine for my neighbours. I think they'll be very happy if I deliver it tomorrow :)

ya, I dont see why it wouldnt. the stock DFI Ultra-D backplate doesn't work though, the posts are too short. I had to stick another one I had laying around onto the board but it screws down so whether or not there is a IHS shouldn't matter.

Nice, I'm going to order one tomorrow and compare with XP120

Also, were the screws too short ? is that why you had to use the metal back plate ?

The screws were fine the backplate the DFI board uses isn't standard and the posts are too short.

With another "standard" back plate they reached just fine... again longer screws would fix it, but the problem isn't the screws it's the backplate included with the DFI board.

Also, check your PMs ;)

no, u have to replace the bottom retention plate that comes through the holes on the mobo. The yellow one that comes on the DFI has short posts that wont allow the screws to reach.

I think I'll go to ACE hardware or Lowe's before I yank the mb out ! lol

IMO they may be long enough to reach anyway with the IHS removed.

Read earlier in the thread, there was a link to a review where there were 2 dozens of cpu coolers compared side by side including Thermalright's XP90, XP90c (which in fact outperforms XP120), XP120, and Thermaltake's Sonic Tower as well as Big Typhoon.

Thermaltake's cooler that actually delivers - their first i think :)
Anyways, my choice would be CoolerMaster's Hyper6.
