Holy crap that thing looks crazy... It looks like it'd be better on a non-tower style case. Speaking of which, I might actually do something nuts like that.. but I dunno...
Neat cooler there though...
Well, looks good, but I found a benchmark of it: linky.
Interesting as this product is said to be made by auras.. rosewill must have bought the design. Looks kick ass tho ;)
Shame it's made by Rosewill. Rosewill, makers of of all sorts of poor quality crap for your PC.
well as someone said on another forum it seems that people are going for looks vs performance. they should have made it completely out of copper.
And with the central area larger :) maybe with more pipes. And how good a contact can a pivoting heat pipe make? just ranting :) Still, I would use that thing in a build where it would be overkill and use the looks as a center piece.. I mean, it is sooo shiny.
Yea, I don't know about their more expensive stuff, but they're cheaper stuff is definitely cheaper for a reason.Quote:

That said, I liked the design of the case. It was really nice for fifteen buckaroos. The two side panels were actually two side panels that you could remove with a screwdriver too, that was really nice I thought.
I also bought two 120mm case fans from them. They too were also flimsy and one of them in now broken. But then again, they were only like three dollars. lol
Moral of the story, don't be a cheap ass unless you don't mind cheap stuff. The next case that I'm going to buy is either going to be Lian Li or the Nzxt Adamas. I'll probably still buy cheap case fans though. lol
How good is that heat pipe design at dissipating the heat? It looks like a traditional heat sink would be more effective at dissipating the heat from the processor.
no heatpipes do work good, the thermalright ultra 120 extreme is the best cooler out there and it has 6 heat pipes. also its the only way it gets the heat from the block to the fins.
With the help of Google, I learned how the heat pipes work. They have a fluid in them that evaporates to move the heat. Then the cooling fins turn the gas back into a liquid. It is the next best thing to water cooling.
Thanks Spawn-Inc, I learned something new.
