Please can we have a picture of it beside somebody's face?
Also, adding to the list of things it looks like but isn't... it looks like the air filter in my vacuum cleaner... if my vacuum cleaner was redesigned for giants.
Karl Pilkington's preferably.Quote:

I suppose if you wanted to do a silent scratch build for HTPC usage + light gaming, you could probably get some quite striking results by having this cooler stick out of the top of the case, open to the air...
Hmmmm, think I could get NoFan to sponsor a build log...? ;)
The Large Hadron Collider already exists so why reinvent it?
£85 for a washing machine drum & it's cooling performance isn't exactly stellar over stock. For the money I'd expect a little more, even from a passive cooler.
Value depends on how highly you price silence - those of us buying Ninja / Noctua heatsinks combined with Accelero graphics coolers are used to paying a lot over the odds. The review doesn't really do it justice as the noisy graphics card kills the benefit and fans invalidate the test. Really needs to be in a a HTPC rig. - I'd like to see it in a machine with a passively cooled graphics card and a fanless PSU to see if everything stayed stable.
Im going to have to post it again arent I, Jesus.Quote:

We should have shaken Yellowbeard until Corsair backed down, the stupid has spread now :(
That thing is awesome. But why\'d they waste all that space in the middle?!
Genius :DQuote:

Not sure why you kept saying the CR-95C is not suitable for enthusiasts. It has a 95watt ceiling with no fans running, a classic enthusiast heatsink such as the Noctua NH-D14 will have nothing like that ceiling with its fans turned off. Stick some chassis fans in plus a 180mm fan on top of the heatsink itself and you should get some great performance out of this near kilo of fins.
Hi GeddyBaby,
I guess one reason would be the fact that it forced the reviewer to use low profile DDR3 RAM... limits the RAM choice from an enthusiast POV.
I don't think this can be the reason, Corsair DDR3 Vengeance is hardly low profile and is easily available at 1866 speeds. The triple channel XMS3 i have on my X58 is the same height and running comfortably at 2150 at 1.68v. If it needed actual blade server like low profile memory, then yes this would be a severe set back to enthusiast speeds, but just no spiky bits?? sounds bearable to me.Quote:

Would be useful for a HTPC but looks too big for a mATX let alone mITX.
Heh nice.Quote:

Add to them the 'sandy bridge' processors and you get a seriously good audio rig with hardly any noise at all.
