New, Unnamed Company Unveils Large, Colorful, High-Performance CPU Cooler Prototypes
A new company in the PC cooling industry is born. It hasn't been named yet, or at least they haven't disclosed it to us. But, they've already come up with these gorgeous-looking CPU cooler prototypes, that come with color options of cherry red, orange, and teal, apart from basic white/silver. In each color option, the fins of the heatsink and the fans' impellers are colored. The white/silver variant has a special coating that improves heat dissipation. The prototype uses a double fin-tower push-pull design, similar to Noctua NH-D14.
From its polished indirect-contact base, five 8 mm thick heat pipes pass through, linking two large aluminum fin arrays that propagate perpendicular to the plane of the motherboard. There are two 140 mm fans, the first one pushes fresh air onto the first aluminum fin array, while the second one is nested between the two arrays, and conveys air from the first block, on to the second. The fans use a special blade design to improve air flow, so the designers could lower the fan speed further, reducing noise. More details are awaited.

Not sure if want...
It sure is colorful, though.
I reckon Chinese OEM stepping up a bit.
Demi related : bought some gpu heatsinks from china the other day.
Got this
And this
Could be awful but I like taking chances every so often, at the very least the black one looks epic.
And...if my memory doesn't fail me, I think Spire made one very similar to this.
The second one looks a bit cheap, especially the fans, but it does seem to be able to take 60mm or 70mm fans screwed to the heatsink.
I only look at DX for "different" coolers so far...and I'm not satisfied...
hyper 212+ looks better :D
If you want can send you links.
@ JP have seen a lot of coolers like this on too, it's size of Arctic cooling twin turbo but has an extra heat pipe. and is DHT too.
As for the blue one, I got it for crossfire, should perform a bit better than stock 6870 cooler, if not the same but with less noise hopefully.
2 small fans vs. one blower? I don't know, man. I think the blue one is going to be louder, unless you do something about it. *hint**hint* :DYeah, but you get crap anyways, so it's better to pay a little more. Besides, DX does sell good coolers, but those are not cheap.
I rely on DX for RAM/vRAM heatsinks and other gadgets. The rest isn't worthwhile, IMHO.
@ JP . It has about 70%(whilst it looks twice the size, it's not quite that as well as having a less dense fin array) more surface area that the stock heatsink in 6870 though, hoping that compensates for less pressure. ( although CFM levels are similar)
( And I will be fiddling with it if I need to, don't you worry about that, love me a bit of modding)
"The white/silver variant has a special coating that improves heat dissipation."
Wouldn't it be better off with black coating ?
Why not just make a CPU cooler out of a PC case be alot easier to deal with!

This one isn't the K100 (going by the label), but physically I can't see the difference and it's $20 cheaper.
edit: Looking at the bottoms, the difference is the mounting holes. The K100 has more
