Thermalright HR-22 Makes Public Appearance
Lacking its own booth at Computex this year, Thermalright displayed a few of its products in Nanoxia's booth, among them the previously teased HR-22 cooler, a massive monolithic heat sink meant to further the merits and virtues of its praised predecessor, the HR-02. Judging by the sheer size of the beast and the design choices evident in the pictures below (eight 6 mm heat pipes and an extended fin area when compared to the HR-02, a massive heat sink in its own right), one would expect the new HR-22 to compete for the top position among passive coolers.

Wonder if it would be able to keep my 3770K cool enough without a fan hmm.
P.S. I'm delidded and running 4.5/1.22ish vcore.
You don't need a HSF this big to get excellent cooling equal to or better than an H100. All you need to do is spend ~$67 (in the U.S.) for an Xigmatek Aegir or similar highend HSF and be done with it. No hassles, no leaks and no headaches. Thermalright does make great HSFs however and I've used a number of them.
Also you won't get leaks or disasters with liquid cooling if you aren't a retard. Leaks with the AIO kits usually are a non-issue unless you go pull at the tubing. With custom loops. Fittings and blocks have come a long way, they use really good seals and O-rings these days. Just got to use compression fittings, or clamps on your barbs. Don't pull a genius move like my buddy who didn't run clamps or compression fittings and after 3 days one tube came completely off dousing his gtx680 in all the water that was in his loop, and frying the pump since it was running dry for house till he got home to notice it, and since his system was running, and electricity and water do not mix well. 680 was done for.
And liquid cooling is a far better on thermal efficiency. And why do you think most people go water cooling solutions? It is quieter! then nearly all the higher end air options.
I wish that was available back when I bought the Scythe Ninja 2. I'd prefer it over the Scythe.
This cooler is on a i7 39xxX /X79 chipset so they do need good cooling as 125w TDP
