Wow, that thing is a beast! I'll bet those heatpipes will bump components on some motherboards, though. Check out the stock fan:

Heatpipes rule. Lets see if I can get Thermalright to send me a "review sample." Hehe.

looks a more like a SK-series with heatpipes than SLK, no triangle of copper in the center.

hmm hope it actually works well, most heatpipe 'sinks seem to be all hype and no substance.

Damn, I could buy four and turbo my Civic! :Q

I'm going to wait to pass judgement until I see the performance with quiet fans. But is that thing ever huge.

so we measured for ourselves, and found that heat sink actually weighs in at a hefty 588g

:Q

edit: the review only compared it to stock, not 900U even though they refer to it throughout :frown:
