All you cooling fanatics out there, the rumors about the TRUE Copper heatsink are TRUE

and it will be available soon. My source told me that they will be coming in some time next week hopefully, so I imagine they will be for sale by the end of next week. But they aren't for the faint of heart; they bugger will weigh in at 1.9 kilo's and will kill a Benjamin to buy it. But I think it will have the best chance of really eclipsing the cooling power of the regular TRUE of any heatsink on the market. BTW, here is a link to the TR preview page.

I should have one coming next week, but unfortunately I will be going to work offshore then too, so it will be a couple of weeks after I receive it when I get to experiment with it.

Balls. I just ordered a Xigmatek today. No wonder Newegg was out of stock of TRUEs. The Thermalright rep said they had some big surprises coming.. I guess this is one of them.

They must have updated the page late this afternoon. I didn't see the preview on the front page this a.m.

And people just thought the Black TRUE was pretty. That's what I call pretty. I've always had a weakness for all copper heatsinks; they soooo purty!

But....

does it have a flat base? If it does, that will be a real monster of a performer. Speaking of which, why is it that Thermaltake's real champion, the IFX-14 never gained popularity? The price?

I think maybe because it's performance wasn't perceptibly better than the TRUE and is more expensive. Also, while I haven't ever seen one in person it looks to be much more bulky than a TRUE in all the pictures I've seen of it.

As far as the base flatness goes; well we will see soon. Hopefully they did address this problem though.

I wish they did smaller heatsinks like that ( micro cases )

There are plenty of all copper, low profile coolers. Zalman instantly comes to mind.
