Prolimatech Genesis CPU Cooler Review - The Super Cooler

The Prolimatech Genesis is said to be the first ever 'Super Cooler' for keeping your processor and motherboard components nice and cool. The Genesis is a twin tower cooler, but one tower is vertical and one is horizontal. The Prolimatech supports three 120 or 140mm fans to ensure everything has air moving around it! Join us as we see how this super cooler from Prolimatech holds up on our Intel LGA2011 test system with the mighty Intel Core i7-3960X processor.

I always like the perspective shots against a known object (7 Up can). Seems like if you have the space then a Corsair H100 is the way to go. Nice review, too bad it's muy expensive.

Great review as usual! However, I would have liked to have seen how this fan effects the northbridge and motherboard temperatures. The idea of a horizontal and vertical combination unit leads me to believe this unit may be better than other coolers when you look at overall system cooling. Can you test that? ;)

I recorded temps for board side items, but don't have any numbers to compare it to. I will with my next cooler review, its a down draft style as well.
