Performance seems to be nothing new but that looks AWESOME!
I really like that. I don't especially need my memory cooled (though others here surely do), but on a lot of boards it may save you from requiring a fan pointed at another chip on the motherboard and I can appreciate that.
Now if they can just partner with someone to create a motherboard without a 24-pin power slot right under one of those wings...
Ram changes are going to mean HSF removale and refit = involvment!
They should have made the front HS high enough for dual fans, which also would make RAM change easier.
You'd only need to remove the lower fan instead of the whole HS.
super Huge
next revision: bigger fins; dual fan support on both heatsinks; temps reduced by 0.5°C...
seriously my good old TRUE from 2007 is still in the same league as these new coolers; air cooling and watercooling have hit a wall and upgrading isn't worth it anymore....
That looks good, and those 2 x 140mm, and 6 heat pipes would probably keep the CPU very cool too, but (big butt :slapass:) you are going to get hot air all over the place.
EDIT:
I like the concept tho, you get a tween-tower without feeding the hot air directly into the other fan.
If you have a top exhaust-fan too, then turning the horizontal fan (to pull), can be a solution. But that would feed the hot air into other fan, and the whole concept would fall apart. They should have a tiny separation-wall in the middle, between tow fans, or something similar. Anyways. you don't want that air all over the place.
Has some looks to it.
But I believe it will only serve to increase the ram temps :(.
That and having to remove the heatsink to take out your mem would be quite the hassle.
if your pc case have a side intake.....it will work greatQuote:

With a little separation-wall between tow fans.

Beats NH-D14 while being much easier to fit, nice! :up:Quote:

Mounting system is nice and solid.
But its a Cooler Master V10 look a like.

I like it, but it will make removing RAM a chore on sticks with oversized sinks.
Make a hole on the back of the case and turn it 180. Cool and RAM access free.
looks like Silver Arrow with one side laid-down
You could swap out overclocked DDR3 1600 CL7 G.Skill eco's but that's about it for "performance ram".
Nice with 2 fans it should cool ram as well. I like it, changing ram is gonna be a pain sadly but I think I can live with that.

MEH, performance is not worth the extra design. If you are going to have something that looks like that, it better outperform the competition, which it does not.
