So the Thermalright IFX-14 is in stock!

If I did not recently get an Ultra 120 Extreme, I would definately get one of those.

The Ultra120 is working well though, keeping my new Q6600 down to about 32C idle (lower than my E6600 that is). I wonder how much more effective this thing is, if it is substantial I just might upgrade anyways. I have another machine that can use the cooler I have now.
 
I would wait on a review before picking one of these up. It looks massive, it's very expensive and that backside cooler? I'd really like to know what cases and mobos that is compatible with. I know in my P180, there's no a lot of extra room for something under the mobo. If you're going to need to put your mobo on risers to make it fit, then factor in how tall the IFX-14 itself is, I really wonder what kind of case is going to accept this monster.

Yes it's optional but ever since I saw it, I was always wondered is there really space around the left side of a motherboard near the I/O ports to place such a thing there? Seems awfully tight if there is.
 
I wonder if Thermalright got it's act together from a quality standpoint after all the problems with the Ultra 120 Ex?

Let's hope so with no concave or convex base this time. I should have mine in a few days.

Not using the back brace would be a huge gamble, you are looking at a 1.75 pound heatsink on a plastic MB with extreme pressure being forced at one small point of the CPU. And that weight is without the fan or the back plate add those two pieces in and you are over 2 pounds of wieght.

Go ahead and hang a 2 pound weight from your current CPU without a back plate and see what it looks like after a week.
