Prolimatech Revises Megahalems CPU Cooler
Prolimatech is out with a new revision of its flagship Megahalems CPU cooler. The new Revision B of Megahalems updates it for the LGA 1156 socket, and adds to its features, a little. While the heatsink itself retains the same design, changes are made to the retention module, which now features mount holes for socket LGA 1156, apart from its usual support for sockets LGA 1366, LGA 775, and AM3/AM2+/AM2. The bundle now includes four fan clips (two sets), instead of two (one set) on the older version. This allows you to install 120 mm fans on either-sides of the heatsink. The new revision B Prolimatech Megahalems has started selling in Europe for 55 EUR.

edit: 790g.. kinda much. I really wonder, how this affects the MB? Can someone clarify?
some people seem to think that the cooler is on a right angle to the board, the stress is at its worst.
depending on the retention mechanism, that weight is spread over a fairly large area so its not as bad as people fear. (EG, AM2 uses two hooks on its stock mechanism, which is then spread to four screws/mounts on the motherboard - no one point takes the whole weight of the cooler)
Edit: That should be crazypc.com They have it listed for $74.00 USD.
Edit: Just remember to take the cooler off when you transport it somewhere :P
