Jimmy 2004What do you reckon those are made of? It certainly isn't copper, so if it's aluminium this is unlikely to be that incredible at cooling. Looks good, but I'm seriously doubting its practicality compared to a $20 after market heatsink.

to the looks of it, it seems to have a copper plate, whit aluminum fins. Same as the Freezer7 pro or any popular cooler these days.

Or it could be a entirely nickel plated copper except the base.

Has a little bit of the DIYer touch to it. LED Fan and a nice design, though I would think the fins could be thicker for more heat dissapation.

Thats really nice. NEVER seen a stock heatsink with a light!

thermaltake's rose petal design really seems to be catching on huh?

Looks nice......Intel are finally thinking of the PC 'modder' :)

Looks good.. but in reality I'm willing to bet pissing on your processor would be a better cooling method than that fan.

hmmm . . . If that CPU cooler goes to market, I see Intel offering it for the high-performance shelf models at BestBuy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, etc. It's flashy, looks neat, not overly big and would appeal to someone looking to buy a "powerful" computer.
Most of us would just discard it, though . . .

I wonder how much longer before someone gets the wild idea to tackle cooling in a "dunk-tank" setup.

Not that hard to do, I've seen onboard computers in cars where the whole PCB is dipped in rubber cement or silicone to prevent moisture from getting to components . . .

although, you wouldn't be able to remove anything without breaking the water-resistant seal . . .

makes you wonder how well you could OC a CPU/MEM with the whole board chillin underwater . . . huh?!

Why would anyone in the right mind use a stock heatsink with an extreme processor anyway.

Only the n00bs. But then they might be smart enough to figure out the HS is not aluminum, but plastic with metallic spray paint.

^^, yeah people who run everything stock lol... seriously though I think thats the intended market for this cooler (upgrade from dinkier stock coolers)... they will love the leds.. to them its a free cool led cooler :O

why are the LEDs always blue, though?!! :wtf:

Zalman has a cooler with green leds... there is a aftermarket fan with a red 120mm fan too I think, the flat cooper pipe base one.

I dont think any other stock coolers had any leds.

looks like all they took was the Orb Cooler from Zalman or Thermaltake

This is like my current fan:

Performance doesn't matter long as it has cool Blue LED's

you're thinking about it wrong, Cash . . . blue isn't a 'warm' color, it's considered 'cool' - so, if you use LED's that produce a 'cool' color, they help to keep temps even lower.

Therefore, Blue>Red :D

KetxxxLooks good.. but in reality I'm willing to bet pissing on your processor would be a better cooling method than that fan.

I don't know man, I mean urine is pretty warm to start with, that said the heat capacity is good so it will remove a lot of heat. And if you can stop it from getting on your mobo you might be alright. Ultimately the problem is you can't piss continuously. Well, I can't. You've been always been a strange one Ketxxx so I won't put it past you completely.

No way man. Red makes it go faster and that's what it's all about!

CuzzaNo way man. Red makes it go faster and that's what it's all about!

Black with blue and red stripes! the ultimate cooler!
