    Silverstone make new uber-heatsink

    With double the surface area of the NT01 and the 120mm fan that seems be requisite to uber-coolers, Silverstone claim this cooler should still fit in almost any motherboard in almost any case... and cool pretty much any CPU that dare generate heat in its presence.

    Seems similar in appearence to the XP-120, though I doubt the fins have the same surface area. I won't replace my XP-120 with it, no matter what the performance, but it will certainly be interesting to read the review.
    Have Silverstone produced any decent CPU heatsinks before? I can't recall any...

    Indeed, the company here is, technically, Silverstonetek, but better known as Silverstone.

    This heatsink looks great. Hope it performs better than Silverstone's previous Nitrogen coolers which were abysmal.

    This product from SilverStone is not new. Simply look at ThermalRight, which has been making these heatsinks FOR QUITE A WHILE. They are simply copying ThermalRight, since their product is essentially the XP120, with fewer heatpipes.

    Although similar in looks, it isnt the same, the xp120 has metal fins connecting the top part, as well as heat pipes, where as this does not, one owuld assume because it allows for more compatibility

    Therefore the SI120 was released to expand compatibility.

    I wouldn't worry - it's an excellent cooler. Looks very much like a TT BT but without the 3 heat pipes on the other side. I like the idea of a finned base.

    Coz it would weigh more than Rik Waller and would snap your motherboard in two.

    Don't know about the silverstone, but I do know this special-backplate-needing-AT-spec-breaking-5-kilo-yet-very-quiet-beast hasn't let my CPU go above 32 full load

    Yeah I got that from Silverstone even though they've had it up on their site a while. Look nice and 43 Euro's is a decent price (thats without the VAT)

    It is basically an XP-120 with a high-speed fan but you'd be looking to pay a lot more than that with a Thermalright + Nice fan
