Corsair H70 picture - Released tomorrow? (updated)

[sdsdv10]

If you use the H50 on a intake fan you have that heat sprayed all over the inside of your case. <snip>

I believe the point is, how is this really any different from a traditional air cooled HSF (i.e. TRUE, Noctura, Zalman, etc) that also dumps the exact same amount of heat from the CPU into the case? If you have good air flow in your case, it really shouldn't make all that much difference.

From the reviews I've read the benefit isn't really better cooling, the main improvement is not having 1+lb of metal hanging off your CPU socket. Again, most reviews state the H50 cools much better than stock, but not quite as good as the best HSF setups, for roughly the same amount of money as high end air coolers. Whether it is a good purchase or not doesn't seem to me to be a debate of fact, but rather a choice based on personal opinion.
