I have a simple question for all you HDT fans out there: if HDTs are so great why none of the big cooling companies made one?
Yea, I really don't think the Fenrir beats the NH-D14. I also really don't think the Mega beats the D14 either. For reference, I read a lot about heatsinks and look at reviews and forum results.

Re: HDT, it would be REALLY interesting if someone took a Venomous X and sanded off the base to the heatpipes and created a HDT cooler out of it. Of course you'd need to put a few washers on the top to get the mount working but I think it could be done. Only thing would be getting the heatpipes flat as they are very delicate and are useless if their core is exposed.
