Prolimatech Readies Super Mega CPU Cooler
Prolimatech is out with a new high-end CPU air-cooler, the Super Mega. The pile of adjectives aside, this cooler is based on the design of its popular Megahalems dual fin-block tower design, except for a dash of copper fins sandwiched between aluminum fins. Measuring (L)130mm X (W)74mmX (H)158.7 mm, and weighing in at 945.3 g, the Super Mega uses six 6 mm thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes to convey heat to two independent aluminum-copper fin blocks, which make up the shape of a conventional tower cooler, but increase turbulence. The cooler can hold 120 mm and 140 mm fans on either sides, and supports all latest CPU sockets, including LGA1366, LGA1156, and LGA775. Prolimatech did not give out a price.

Maybe they offer 2 versions...
I guess the difference is?: (though the megahalems can hold two 120mm fans on each side, not sure about 140mm fans tho.)EDIT: nvm, i see the difference. Still not worth it to upgrade from my current Megahalems.:)
This won't have different cooling from it's predecessors IMO, just a new release for the sake of releasing. At least it keeps them in the public eye, which they deserve to be with the phenomenal performance.
I for one highly recommend it. The only HS of normal size that I've seen to beat the TRUE.:rockout:
For all those who don't know:
Super Mega = Megahalems + copper
Mega Shadow = Megahalems + nickel plating
oh the irony ;)
Looks interesting. I am sure it will perform just like all the other top of the line coolers.
:toast:
Yeah you can get a kit, but it should include for AMD. Maybe AMDs just dont get as hot as Intel CPus and AMD doesnt need the kick ass cooling. Who knows.
If i didn't already have an i7, it would be an AMD X6. I don't understand why someone would think that no one cares about AMD anymore, they're still more then relevent in the CPU maker world.
And i do belive you will have to get a retention bracket for AMD sockets, it was the same way for my Megahalems.(on the box it's only labeled for support for LGA 1366, 775 and 1156 if i remember correctly).
But fact, and a strange fact is, on the box it says only intel.
And it wasn't directed at you, it was directed at Assimilator.(unless he to was using sarcasm, then it that case, nvm.)
