High-end, overclocker-orientated CPU cooler set to make its debut next month.
going to get cloged up with dust quickly stopping all air flow in my openion
4.2GHz is pretty poor for an i7 975, my 920 runs higher than that stable using an Akasa Nero V1 which is a £25 cooler.
hmm 80 degrees on prime 95 @4.2ghz
No more than any other tower cooler...Quote:

Not all processors are made equally... Just because one will do that doesn't mean the rest will...Quote:

Redundant specs about the fan, who cares what the rotational speed of the fan is?...
It doesn't matter if the fan is spinning at 5,000,000 RPM if the blades are absolute pap, some figures on airflow + pressure should have been used, especially since it is aimed at OCers...
Sounds like standard Thermaltake cruft to me... Saying they're targeting the OCers and actually going for those that just don't know any better...
^ Uh, I would care if the fan goes at 5M RPM, there would be no way I'll let that thing in my case ;)
To be honest, I always take the measurement they give us, be it noise or airflow pressure with a huge pint of salt. To some extent RPM is kind of handy for me because in my experience, anything above 1200RPM is going to be audible inside a case so I can almost rule it out for my needs.
I think this kind of heat sink design has already met its full potential. Nothing new here.Quote:

It's not even comparable...Quote:

Until we figure out how to manufacture transistors that give out even less heat, and lets face it, a single transistor hardly produces anything, it's just the densely packed nature and the sheer number that produces the thermal results that are encountered.
It's much easier and cheaper to increase performance and at the same time increase heat output, and stick a big old chunk of metal on top...
We could of course start looking into more inventive cooling methods, but that would of course come at a price, metal is a relatively cheap commodity...
And nothing is ever at it's full potential, refinements and improvements to a given design can ALWAYS be made.
If we as a species actually managed to produce something that operated at it's full potential then we would be in as much *#*# as we are...
and yet you have a 720 at 3.4... something about cake and eating...Quote:
