Hehe i dont see the problem with sinks under 1000g, as long as the mount is good or at least can be moddet to put enough presure down.

TRUE with the fins cut in the center? 0_o
unless the price is lower than the TRUE i dont really see the point...
the design doesnt match that of DFIs boards at all, so why should i buy this heatsink over a TRUE? cause it has lanparty stamped on one of the fins? :D
Looks like DFI slapped it's logo on a new company's cooler...

One might choose this over the TRUE becourse this can be oriented both ways on some of the new DFI Boards. My TRUE on my JR P45 has to be mounted horizontal and even a bit crooked to fit, and its a tight fit (TRUE heatpipes vs. MOSFET sink)!
Yeah, I think people would choose this because this is guaranteed to fit on to your Lanparty board, unlike some other coolrs. But that is my guess, one would think that this will fit on all LP boards, right?
Head to head performance with a TRUE but about the same price and no fan included:

How is that overclocked the temperatures are within margin of error basically so it's a tie so far....but they didn't test with the same fan for any tests but the high speed which is stupid. Not everyone wants to run a vacuum cleaner of a computer.
It wouldn't ahave been that difficult to use the same fan on both coolers at the same rpm.
Yup..
Just received my DFI/prolimatech Megahalem today along with DFI JR X58-T3H6 will be interesting to see how it compares with it's big brother the DFI UT X58-T3EH8 :)
The Megahalem is definitely smaller and shorter than TRUE120 so i can now see why it's a good match for DFI JR X58-T3H6 mATX board :D
eventually yes but will be much later - probably best read at http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/articl...50aHVzaWFzdA== basically not not between them both :D
Too broad a stroke of the brush.
Anything in the process of removing heat that is a bottleneck, stops anything after it from performing to its fullest.
So HDT helps get heat to the fins. An infinite surface area on a single heatpipe won't work. Then from the fins, you gotta get rid of the heat. So fin spacing and the attached fan are important (eg: high static pressure or not). If it's so big and the heatpipes are adequate you can get away without a fan.
It's a whole system. It really is. Plenty of reviews with coolers using HDT tending to show better performance (hard to separate things completely, but theres a statistic trentd across a lot of coolers).
