Remember the days when all you needed was a passive heatsink to keep your processor at a suitable temperature? Processors have gotten a lot more powerful since then, and by the same token consume a lot more power. Over the last few years we've seen some weird and wonderful heatsink/fan designs, all attempting to keep the CPU from burning up and also to introduce a bit of the 'ooooh' factor into cooling. Enter Akasa's Evo for Intel and AMD systems. Sideways blowing fans are the in thing right now, which is the technique used on this new cooler. Heatpipe technology and 33 fins help dissipate the heat.
Cooling design aside, it looks quite nice, and wouldn't look out of place in a windowed system. Check out Akasa's product flyer here.
