[HEXUS]

Remember Thermaltake's wacky dual-VTM cooling design? Well, it just got a whole lot bigger...

There aren't enough comedy shaped coolers. I, for one, would happily purchase any cooler that was marketed as the "Tomb Raider Ultra edition", or similar, and was shaped like Lara's tits.

Or the HL2 cooler, shaped like Alyx's t... I mean, shaped like the Zero Point gun thingy.

Or a Lament Configuration Box cooler, which sliced your fingers each time you touched it.

Oh...
Wait...
No, I have that already, my bad: scythe Ninja B

Looks good tbh, i would buy it if it was £15 but im hoping but seriously if it can achieve cooling performance then oit has a chance since the design looks as if it can overcome things like headsinks on the NB, might be wrong but it looks like it curves over it.

Is it copper plated or just copper? wont it be pretty heavy and put a lot of stress on tower cases?

I'm never quite sure of the point of massive heatsinks like this one. I'm about to buy the Artic Freezer Pro for under £15 from Scan; one of my friends has it and gets CPU temps (Q6600) in the high 20s, if he actually bothers to turn on the fan, since unless being maxed out it stays well under 50 just with the (passively cooled) heatsink. And there's no point upgrading to an ubermassive expensive heatsink (if this is indeed expensive) when the new socket (1366 for Core i7) is just round the corner, at least if you intend to upgrade CPU, as the two sockets aren't heatsink compatible, unless you have a specially modded heatsink.
In fact, the only reason I'm upgrading from the stock Intel heatsink on my OC'd Q6600 is because I'm trying for a silent system. Yes, the Intel stock fan is pretty useless, but for the last 6 months I've had a (fairly quiet) stock AMD fan glued to the Intel heatsink giving me temps in the 30s if I cranked it up.
