omg DFI with coolers now
looks interesting! :)
When's it available? :)
Not sure on the availability yet, I think they are still in r&d.
wow that looks pretty sweet
looks good, kind of odd though...
Where do i put my fan?!
AHH i see now! :D
That's a big boy.
Fill the gap in between the 2 towers so u wont waste air?
since thermalright makes their chipset coolers, i would have to guess that this is also made by thermalright?
As stated in the (short) article....
sooo.. ur saying bust out the lapping gear? :D :p: :up:Quote:

u probably mount the fan with 2 strings, like on the TRUE(and others)

The fans would have to be placed on both, left and right end (if you look at the picture as it is now).
So the airflow hits all heatpipes directly, hits the wall in the center of cooler and goes outwards from the heatsink.
Like this:

Dunno how that design would perform like but at least build quality looks very Thermalright'ish. The problem might be spacing tho, fitting dual fans that is, would be hard to fit 38mm thick fans on many setups at least.
that would take up too much room imo :shrug:Quote:

In the above picture if the indicated fan position is considered East/West, the designed placement of the fan is North/South.Quote:

lol with that on the uATX board it made the cooler appear that much more huge at first glance :lol2:
If you insist on using 8-9cm fans otherwise it would fit into the larger indent close to the edge of the fins I would say that's 12cm, but the mounting is right just fit the wires into the deeper indents a bit behind what you drew.Quote:

Obviously the fan is placed that way, what RejZoR is trying to say is that if you want to hit all heatpipes with the same amount of airflow, you'd have to mount it the way he showed, from right to left on the picture.
Right now only the first heatpipe is getting the fresh air, if that makes a difference, I don't know. It's just an aesthetically pleasing cooler, they could have done a better job with making it cool better but they didn't.
I think 12 or 14cm fans in north-south is the way to go.
Is Thermalright still OEM'ing these complicated heatsinks for them? :p: Looks interesting, but good luck using it on anything but a tech bench!
I wonder how it performs?
also only able to place 80mm fans on this cooler?
That would make the most sense, also the missing middle woudn't really matter much then since the dead spot of the fan would be there.Quote:

From a cursory look it appears as though the gap between the two blocks of fins is just there to make it easier to attach the retention bracket
Can't wait for in depth results!!
In my time I've only had the pleasure of owning a mere two DFI boards. But let me tell you, they have impeccable build quality and great customer service.
If that dedication makes its way to their (apparently) new cooling department, sign me up. :up:
looks to big...
Just want to say that I truly love your Paint skills! :up:
On the serious note, this looks like my next CPU cooler :)
i7 definitely needs something this big;)
Looks like a great improvement in the mounting mechanism. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet. I hope that makes it into production.
Overall I really like it.

Just to clarify, here is where u hook up the fan wire mounting(the place all u other showed is where the fins are bent down to keep the spacing even, just like in the middle of the cooler):
Looks like an interesting design. Could be killer with a couple shrouds and matching 38mm 120s.
Dont know if anyone mentioned this but isnt it a rip-off of the Thermalright 120 True???
All they did was cut out the middle to make two seperate fins for each side. Im sure it would be better a better desing and more effecient if they attached the two sides and made it a single fin, but the we'd be RIPPING OFF THERMALRIGHT!!
lol sorry for the caps, but that's what i think anyway.:p:
The northbridge looks extremely cramped under there.
No. the true is thinner and has the heatpipes aranged differently and its not the same mounting mechanism.
AndreYang has posted a great pictorial and information on this cooler here.
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=215051
Yeah you can see the cuts in the fins for the fan mounting bracket. So fans point towards the front & back of the case. The fans/mounts would fall off if it was top/bottom.
It's a bit disproportionate on such a small mobo, but it still looks like it's too long. I might be wrong. But I'd be careful taking a machine like that anywhere, it'll bounce in transport and flex your mobo.... crack, dead mobo or dead cpu. If you're going to leave your pc in one place permanently, no worries.
A rip-off would be doing something without the other party's consent. So in this case using the term rip-off couldn't be more inaccurate.Quote:

*snap* what was that? Oh just my cooler breaking off the mobo and crushing $500 worth of video cards
Ummm, after looking at this, I hope that thing comes with a backplate or that will be the sound of your motherboard snapping before it breaks the video cards and their PCI-e slots off.Quote:

Well, it reminds me of my old CM 212
It's not just that, it's how far that weight is from the motherboard. That increases the bending force.Quote:

This, on the other hand... cross your fingers!
It ain't a rip-off of the TRUE. A friend of mine just send me this link: http://www.prolimatech.com/products/megahalems.html
So just a DFI-Rebrand and no Termalright-cooler.
Nice find m8 :up:Quote:

ULTRA-120 Extreme: L63.44 x W132 x H160.5 mm
The dead spot matters. Less surface area = less cooling performance.Quote:

They could have gone for maximum surface area, for maximum cooling performance but no. They went for looks. Fashion over quality once again. :mad:
Like all other DFI heatsinks, this is made by Thermalright.
Did you read the thread? And even worse: you stated your assumption as fact. :shakes:Quote:

A good analogy is to watercooling....if you increase radiators and fannage to an "infinite" level, you still only get coolant-out temps equal to air-in temps. Does this mean CPU temps are as low as they get? Totally depends on the block and flowrate. Same thing here, getting the thermal energy from the CPU and into the fins is still a huge, huge bottleneck (hence HDT being a success....and the TRUE beating the TRU, and why we don't see good 1-pipe coolers :rolleyes: ).
Of course the opposite is true, if you have no surface area, then the cooler will suck too (unless you have an insane amount of airflow).
It's a balancing act to make a good HSF :)
Oh, and the 'deadspot' thing is overrated too :cool:
I still say TR, look at the way the heapipes bend from the base to the fins, the way the "start" of the heaptipes looks, and the "closed" part too, even the way the fins are connected to each other at the sides, it all looks very TRUEish IMO, it doest look like my Freezer or U12F&P.Quote:

Yeup and thats why I don't own one. We'll see what the weight is and how its attached of course.Quote:

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...
http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/articl...50aHVzaWFzdA==
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:
http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/articl...50aHVzaWFzdA==
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..Quote:

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
They did use the same 86cfm thunderblade fan on the apple to apples comparison page.Quote:

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).
