superpoeper:

always loved their designs and i quite like the look of this new one even without the lighting it looks rather elegant compared to my "poop brown" NH-D15.

You know theirs a black version of it? Saying that prior to trying my hand at watercooling I used to use Zalman coolers.

ah finally someone who actually read AMD specs, read reviews or tested the cpu themselves and know that no a 180 or 250W TDP cooler is not "enough" p.s. for those that don't know cooler rated TDP are the real deal because they test it on heating plates doing that exact wattage unlike cpu fantasy TDP that is above anything else a marketing tool

I hope this gets reviewed on this site, any way I could careless about the noise as I got used to with the Delta QFR1212GHE fan (1.6A variant) running at 2,200rpm. Anyhow, I hope there's a way to use other fans - or I will be force to do another Zip Tie magic, just like what I did to my now ancient Cooler Master V6GT cooler (attached the Delta fans using that technique). XD
