Thermalright to launch Venomous X, new flagship heatsink

[jmke]

no, all heatsink engineers should be fired and all heatsinks should be based on the TRUE from now on...

yup, that was what I said.... (and btw TRUE is based off another companies HSF; TR didn't do tower coolers for quite some time)


any way do you see a way to improve surface area, heat dissipation, while keeping in line with size and weight and price restrictions? we're running out of variations quite quickly; we've had the major HSF upgrades, none from the last 3-4 years have really stood out, major game changers so far:
- Going from alu to copper
- Adding Heatpipes to copper
- Tower coolers
.... all they've done now since the first tower coolers were introduced is add heatpipes and slightly tweak layout/fin size/amount. But a major step with current materials I'm not expecting. and with the size of the base being the decisive factor for adding heat pipes, you can only fit "so many" in that square... layered heatpipes don't have quite the same effect...
