    I'll wait for some more reviews. The design, if anything, looks less efficient than the top competitors.

    so they basically just ripped off the True Xtreme sent it to a review site probbaly gave em a lil money and now they think its better. I dont think so its still overpriced Zalman junk. Only thing Zalman do wel are GPU Heatsinks and their media center case.

    Dunno why some of you guys are hating on Zalman so much. They've always had fantastic machining quality in my experience.

    And let's get real for a second here, they're far from the first or even second company to rip off the TRUE.

    True that.

    If they couldnt beat the tower coolers they should have joined the bandwagon a long time ago.

    They sold expesive underperforming cooler for like 2 years solelly based on brand name.

    An HDT tower cooler with bolt-through/back plate and Zalman's machining quality would be awesome.

    i never said Zalman was a bad brand in fact i have owned many of there coolers and i do agree they have absolutely fantastic build quality and major blingage factor. however it's is just to bad that they did not do something like this earlier as there last few coolers while be not bad have not been in the same realm as the TRUE and it's knock offs. this will be a great cooler no doubt about that but i just don't think it has what it takes to beat out the master.

    Strange review, they compare quite a few coolers, but have like 8 different fans/ fan speeds in that chart? How can you compare anything when there is no common fan/ fan speed base?

    This is way to close to close to a TRUE, especially the fan mounting.

    The fan mounting is where you see the similarity, with the screws and custom fan and all?

    The cooler looks good but I was expecting a better price/more competitive price. For the indicated price I would buy the TRUE with no doubts
