Insane design cooler

PowerSlide · 27th Apr 2006, 07:53 PM

not only the design is rather insane resembling a v8 engine but the led on it consume 1.8W of power which more than the fan itself

That's a pretty sick fan...funny about the power usage...*scratches head* Unfortunately seems like a pain to affix to the board...what a pain.

Sigh, it's really sad when manufacturers can't improve cooling by any methods other than slapping more metal mass onto their heatsinks.

This is quite true. I often find myself wondering what will come next for the stock cooler in pcs...

i would say that exaggerated heatsink is a waste of natural resources, lol...

from the benchmark given, it doesnt perform as good as its looks...

Interesting design, though. But sadly a waste of raw materials...

I read a review about this cooler on another site and thought it was a very weird design. It looks like a old card engine.

The heatsink together with the fan looks like a mini engine to me
