I'm just getting back into the world of hardware after being out of it for awhile, I had this concept for a cooler way back when and I'm so psyched that someone's making it! Almost definitely picking up one of these models for my i7 build.
Here's my collection of ECO ALC reviews so far, posted this in a thread in the CPU corner iirc so just copy/pasting it here.

Reviewer may have gotten a bad sample, but 100C under load is BAAAAD...

10-20 degrees C better than the stock i7-860 cooler, that's pretty good.
Good comparison charts here:

Very quiet, but in cooling it couldn't touch the Noctua NH-C12P when overclocked which is similarly quiet.
OTOH, he installed it pushing out of the case, which apparently isn't optimal.

Says performs about the same as the Corsair H50 but seems to be suffering QC issues.
Seems like it's got potential to be right in the front of the pack for cooling if you get a good one and mount it correctly. I'm excited at the low decibel level as well. Hopefully I can wait a month or two for this i7 build and see how the reviews pan out.
