IT's MINE

[Prowl]

with all the hsf news I'm shocked, dismayed and disapointed that no one posted the mega shadow!!!

to make matters worse for the competition it's sweet vs even the nh-14

and It's now MINE muhahahahaahaah

I like it, but at 790 grams WITHOUT fans?  No thanks.  I don't move my rig around much, but still, I'm rather uneasy
about having all that weight in a vertical tower chassis.  Even my Noctua NH-U12P with two fans tips the scales at 770 grams.

If I had a system sitting flat, then hell yeah.

[Crixx_Creww]

how yu supposed to mount lasco fans on yur case when u have that thing in it?

[W1nTry]

Actually I read about these but couldn't locate it in my usual sources so it wasn't of any interest. Also they are more Intel centric.

wow this thing weighs as much as my tuniq 120 ....looks heavier tho

Arc yea i was thinking the same thing..... i still wonder if the tuniq will snap my mobo in 2 sometimes but it hasn't yet anyway lol and it cools like a beeyotch altho its mounted top down which isn't the optimal position but i had to do it cuz the socket on my mobo is a bit high anyways the specs on this look really good let me kno if it snaps ur mobo Prowl

sitting flat i don't thing you have to worry about as much, what i worry about is the uneven pressure distribution when the heatsink goes vert

the bottom 1/2 of the heatink is under more stress than the top



still i suppose if you could run a cable tie 'hamock' or sum like that to support some of the weight, i would go for it.

this is true for ALL heastinks btw

[Arcmanov]

Yep...and this is exactly why I would not go for mega coolers like that, and the Noctua DH-14, unless them muhfuggas could bolt down right thru to the bloody mobo tray itself.

My only other gripe with these big-azz coolers is the way they block access to the nearest RAM slot on most mobos.  I happen to like using Corsair Dominators, and I shant be removing the heatsinks on my RAM for no bloody cooler.  Uh uh, no way.

Well tooo bad

these will work just fine with my mushkins





BTW the lga 1366 is designed for 900g + cooler loads so we're good once the back plate is strong and this has a big back plate

Oh and it comes with an amd mounting kit, not that I'm gonna need it
