CM HSF have never been easy to install and this one will be the king of that probably and its supposely weights 874g with two fans installed :o
Currently on sale in Japan and it is call the Fujin over there but it finally wil hit the North America shores in March. Speculation has been going around that this cooler doesn't perform as good as it should based on its size.
Wow, that's huge! I'd be worried about the effects of gravity on that bad boy Four screws holding that thing on my mobo doesn't instill great confidence
I'd personally be afraid of its weight, especially installed in a tower machine.
I guess better make sure you got the top motherboard screws in otherwise you'll end up snapping the board in two? Most of my personal machines from how much I'm constantly working on them, I only secure the board to the case with only two or three screws.

What would be the advantages of this spread out design over a more conventional tower cooler like the Scythe Ninja or Tuniq Tower? Besides more air flow over your motherboard and RAM. Also having that much weight hanging so far from the socket really does make it dangerous. If you hit the far edge it would act like a lever and put even more strain on the socket. Also it looks like if you wanted to replace your RAM you would have to take the thing off.

But it's alot quieter, better performing and fun! (preaching to the choir....I know but had to be said........H2O FTW)
