Intel Prescott CPU heatsinks the size of small elephants

Wow that's awesome, I want one for my Athlon XP. 
Seriously, size only matters if you're advertising for a Godzilla movie. It doesn't bother me one bit. It'll be inside your case and you won't even see it.
I'm actually surprised that nobody has come out with a heatsink that will accomodate a 120mm fan.

Yeah, but that's not out yet, or I'd buy it. It uses the stock retention bracket! Yipee!
please tell me that is just a custom design...holy sh1t those things are huge especially the 747 engine in the second set of pics !
Man, I can only imagine the noise those things would produce. Considering that one looks like a hair dryer I suppose it would sound like it aswell.
Not necessarily; one of the advantages of making it big is that you can use a bigger fan, which moves the same amount of air with less noise.
When it is comes to HS/F....I don't think anything is overkill. What I believe to be overkill are compressor cooling systems (prometia).
That giant blue heatsink appears to be some kind of peltier or phase change system.
With no doubt, it is a active sink. It isn't a block of AL with a fan.

The new thermalright is a monstrosity as well. 120mm fans.
On the other hand, im going to buy one
