    crazy. But given the performance of the Arctic Silencers, I'm sure these bad boys will rock. Only thing I don't like is they dont appear to exhaust out the back of the case. I always liked that.

    Out the case is the onlyway to go. I will not buy a cooler that doesnt throw hot air out the back.

    it seems they finnaly wont block sata ports now, that was the reason i moved to a zalman vga cooler as it didnt block them.

    the old one was very good, but it was so damm big it blocked 2 of the 4 ports on my mobo.

    nice design, by the looks of it there are 3 heatpipes too, also to me it looks like it mounts with the vent facing the mobo, probably wrong.

    Tim, there is a difference between innovation, and dumbass new ideas.. This product falls under the later category.

    Looks ok. Suprised the asus x1800 top doesn't use one of these, even though its a very similar arctic cooling design. I hope they release a heatpiped version of the regular arctic cooling exhaust design though.

    I had an AC NV silencer 5 rev 3. Worst cooler I've ever owned. I will NEVER buy ANYTHING from that company again. I can't believe a cooler could be as bad as the thing I bought.

    why do you peoipl,e find this dumb. it appears to exaust air out. look at it, it looks to be dual slot design. with that one top most row of fins lining up with a pci slot to exaust air.

    its great how people can much such comments on it yet have seen NOTHING on performance, hell, they dont even know how it mounts.

    Those are ugly and don't get the heat out of the case
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    what was so wrong with it? I've owned some of the older arctic silencer's, and they were all GREAT coolers.

    My first impressions are it looks cheap and plasticy. 'Course, that doesn't say anything about the performance itself...

    The origional arctic cooler was a great cooler.

    The ones after that have been subpar in the quality deparment and the fit and finish leaves something to be desired aswell.

    trakslacker, glad you liked my comment. between 5-8 of my posts sitting in sigs now. MaxxxRacer will proliferate the world! jk

    wait and see.
    however, the exhaust strategy looks poor at this point..
