New cpu cooler dethroning BT and 9500?

[mindwreck]

site used to be called pimprig. never really went to them for cooling news so I don't know how trustworthy their tests are..
shows the NH-u9 which uses a 92mm fan beating the Big typhoon by 8C load!! the 120mm version beats the BT by 10.

read the review.
The testing method is suspect right from the start.

No comparison to the Ninja, so I'm slightly doubtful that it's all that.

It's not bad, but it's not all that. Elite Award?!? Bah! For comparisons look through this link.

The AC freezer 64 Pro does better according to the above link.
I have an XP-90Cu and it needs air and that's indicated in the above link.

Here's a SilentPCReview on it.

It doesn't fare so well in this review.

Compare the 3 reviews. The first review as I stated previously is at best amateurish.

those results look more reasonable. a heatsink based on an old design getting such low temps was suspicious
