Is this the one with the carbon composite base? I haven't anticipated an aircooler like this since the TRUE
I thought it was a nano-diamond/Cu composite, just to be more specific about the carbon.
The MSRP seems reasonable at the "high end," and more reasonable if the lab reviews prove out.
So what we do here, whether you want to organize under "Bonzai's Rangers" or "the "4960X" Brigade or just "go Rogue," is to spam the hell out of Tech Report, Frosty-Tech, Anandtech, Bit-Tech and anyplace else worth the trouble to tell them "We wanna D15 Reee-Vue!! We wanna D15 Ree-Vue!!"
The repetition works effectively on the human mind, even if its engaged in publication of its own.
Pardon the double-post.
Looking closely at the publicity on the release, it touts everything but the heatsink-base. The fans, the two-speed fan-splitters, the size of the fins, the way that the heatpipes don't interfere with RAM. And the wonderful NH-1 heatsink TIM.
That's all that's being used to sell it. What that means, exactly, I couldn't say.
But I can tell you -- all this will prove out in a lab comparison review. Any worth their salt will include units already counted among earlier review comparisons. So when that happens -- a good comparison review -- we'll know what it's capable of doing. I can also bet I can get almost an extra 10C better than what the reviews prove. But either way, either I or the reviews themselves will have something to say about it.
Me -- I'm just going to wait for the data from elsewhere before I invest in one. I COULD invest in one and write my own review, or submit reviews to Anandtech for inclusion among their last big summary of a zillion coolers.
Don't count on me. We need to see some reviews -- I guess that's what I'm sayin' here.
I prefer a longer single post then a double post...
