Not sure if anyone has seen this or posted about it but look at this thing! It's sound output at max speed is 62.8 dB(A). I'm sorry but I couldn't put something that big and ugly in my comp.

    That's no heatsink, it's a JET ENGINE!

    Whats funnier is that it does not perform as well as the Intel stock heat sink. :thumbsup:

    All it is, is a Thermaltake Silent Tower with an Asus fan shroud round it. Big deal, talk about unoriginal.

    And by the way, the retention mechanism has a nasty habit of crushing any resistors etc that may happen to be in way on the back of the board. So it is not suitable for all motherboards.

    I also have 2 motherboards, Abit KV7 & ASrock K7S8E + that wont boot with the heatsink attached, presumably because the crappy retention mechanism causes the board to flex & some contact is then broken.
