new Rosewill 3-section HSF

[wwswimming]

"what in God's name" ... one of the wierdest looking
CPU heat sink fans i've ever seen.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16835200037

3 sections, 2 fans.

guess we'll see what Frostytech has to say about
performance.

My first thought was, "what in the...?" It better be damn good, hopefully there will be a good review up soon.

This is how the progression of AIR is coming?

Not really... but if those fans work as push-pull, it might be interesting to see how it turns out.

Probably just an oddball concept, like the GeminII, and costs too much for an oddball concept, but who knows...

 

[MarcVenice]

Looks cool nonetheless. Would be worth reviewing for sure.

Same reactions here.

Looks pretti sick.

Adjustable dual fans / fin ensure perfect circulation for heat dissipation of CPU and other components

Unique.

 

[LOUISSSSS]

prob not better than my 2 yr old ninja. w/ nexus haha

 

[zagood]

you just blew my mind.

Those things are adjustable.

This heatsink is Transformer? approved.

-z

 

[Laminator]

I don't know how the fans are oriented or how well it works...

...but I want one.

 

[Astrof]

It'll be neat if it was efficient, but i dont think it'll b that good....lets just wait 4 a review to pop up


but damn it looks awesome(ly weird yet cool).

 

[thecoolnessrune]

That is wierd

On a not so good note, it's probably not good that those things are adjustable. That means instead of being soldered in, that the heatpipes make contact with the base simply through pressure. I liken this to the same effect as putting on a heatsink without thermal grease.. It *might* work, but not too well.

 

[fujimitsu]

It's all aluminum, and it's Rosewill.
It looks like an interesting idea but, refer to above.

 

[CP5670]

It looks cool, but I doubt it's as good as the top air heatsinks around right now given the smaller fans. And at that price, it needs to compete with them.

 

[Astrof]

has anyone reviewed this yet?

 

[Astrof]

hmm so i clicked the "manufacturer's product page" from newegg and well, on the rosewill site it said that the product had been discontinued......hmm so what does that mean? before it gets sold it gets discontinued?

Is their manufacture link and indeed it is discontinued. I imagine they got handed a lawsuit by zalman or a similar company.

or

It cost to much to manufacture and didn't perform as they wanted.

 

[Astrof]

but the rosewill website sux anyway, I cant find anything on their site. when i click open and close nothing happens......

so what will happen to the ones shipped to newegg?

collectors items!

Well now, that was a short product life cycle.

 

[Astrof]

but has anyone tried to get info on anything from the site? apparantly everything is discontinued..........

 

[gorobei]

seems like it would be interesting at the least. the fans appear to be in a push pull setup with the airflow going in a single direction. it might have been intended to help cool the motherboard elements that typically aren't hit by tower HS designs. the intake-side arm could be angled to pull air over the northbridge or ram; while the exhaust-side arm could be angled to hit the mosfets.

 

[Astrof]

but has anyone reviewd it yet?

 

[Astrof]

hmm go to
http://www.xtremesystems.org/f...howthread.php?t=159413
apparantly it (rly) sux in coolings
but idk if it became cheaper it wud b nice,

 

[gorobei]

looks like it might have been a quick knock off job done by the oem for the original designer AURAS http://www.xbitlabs.com/articl...lay/auras-roundup.html

chinese manufacturers do this all the time. client comes in with design and specs and orders a production run. if the manufacturer feels like it, they can just order more raw materials and produce extra units during the run and sell them as another brand. Guess Auras decided not to ignore the bootlegs. too bad both versions are ineffective.
