Check the weight on that thing... 815g :shock:

ZEROtherm NV120 is only 638g.

Wow, do they include straps to help hold that beast up? That's almost two pounds, they're getting to the point that the coolers are going to start ripping the board out of the case.

I bet it performs very well, although I would say that more heatsink surface would make it better. Since it is only a cooler that blows air down instead of sideways (tower heatsinks) they could have made more sureface on the heatsinks. the Heatpipes are crazy though. I bet it works excellent. I will have to pick up one to test it out.
