going to get cloged up with dust quickly stopping all air flow in my openion

hmm 80 degrees on prime 95 @4.2ghz
No more than any other tower cooler...
And i've never had any problems with excessive dust build up in my case, and my PC is in my bedroom...
Not all processors are made equally... Just because one will do that doesn't mean the rest will...
^^ See above response ^^
They say that the base is superiorly flat, but what about the IHS... If that is concave/convex then the base of the cooler is somewhat irrelevant, plus a mirror finish is not indicative of a flat surface... a parabola can have a mirror finish...
Then again it is marketed at OCers who won't be too fussed at lapping..
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.^ Uh, I would care if the fan goes at 5M RPM, there would be no way I'll let that thing in my case

Time for something new , unique. Something that isn't so dam big, My 286 cpu didn't require a heatsink or fan ---- Bring back those days.
It's not even comparable...
134,000 transistors as opposed to 7,310,000 ~ a 55 fold increase...
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...
