I just wish I could take picts like Thermalright does.:cry:

One thing about coating, I have been painting Heatsinks for years and there has never been any measurable difference in temps.
(I am quite careful to use a very light coating of Lacquer as enamel is quite a bit thicker)

Easily done, if you have a good camera like an SLR, step back a bit and zoom in instead. That should eliminate the distortion that occurs with your photos. I've done it, and thats how I take my own pics.

However this isnt really anything to be impressed with. I have to say they better jump on the HDT bandwagon, because their Perf king crown is quickly evaporating away. I felt sorta pissed off when the Ultra 120 Extreme was outperformed by the HDT S1283, on Frosty tech, then I purchased a HDT for myself and tried...and confirmed it. HDT > TRUE.

I want to see a Ultra 120 HDT already!!! :shadedshu Five (10) 8mm heatpipes with HDT, however less than 1mm gap between each pipe, using their same fin array!!!!!!111
