Looks decent and strong however, built in fan = bad
I think comming soon sinks like the IFX from TR will still slaughter this.
This sink seems par in the high end catagory of Zalman 9500 - Tuniq range but I can't garentee that, we need results and testing!
Opinnions anyone? I thought it would be nice to let people know about this.

Well without some temp comparison I cannot compare this to any cooler out there. I mean this could compare with the Intel stock cooler or the TR 120 Plus. We need more stats.
It looks cool, but so did the Zalman that is designed just like it. We will have to see. It looks like a lower profile CPU cooler that is designed to compete with the likes of the Zalman CNPS7700
The TT has shiner features but we will have to wait to see the results
IMHO this is the same as the Zalman, just with AL fins to show off its superior looks. I need results before I declare either the winner.

I've used the Blue Orb before, and to be honest it wasn't a bad heatsink (midrange/average performance, could sustain a Venice at 2.7 with 1.6v, and such). I'm thinking this could compete with the low end of "top" coolers; but we'll see!
Hmmmm....I like the prospects of a design like this. A future beefier version (or Scythe ripoff should this design work well) would have full-size fins (no cut out for the fan), an add-on fan and shroud....
Overall I like it though
Could be a nice alternative for those that don't like or can't accomodate tower HSFs
