Performs fairly well, and is quieter than the ones that perform right above it.

Yeah, it's an interesting direction to go. Here's a few other reviews of it:

Tech Power Up!

A couple of other coolers are going this route...

Tech Power Up! review of the iCEAGE 120 by 3R System (they also have a iCEAGE 90 that SilenX re-brands for sale in the US)

Zaward's Square Advance cooler also has direct-touch heatpipes, plus 8mm heatpipes (instead of 6mm, which is another trend) - reviews of this one should be interesting, though I wish they'd gone with a 4-pipe design.

These days more tyhan at any other time in the history of the PC ther are many mnay good heatsinks...

There are many many copy cat heatsinks...that try for that all important consumer dollar!!

There really is no one best heatsink even though many would make the argument for the 120 Ultra....which would also be in my top 3 heatsinks!!

Even though I do not use the Ultra ! have one sitting among my heatsink collction!!

Peace!!
