BOSS new cooler by Wizz (Evercool HPC-925 ICEMAN)

[Arcmanov]

Got this bad boy at the Wizz in P.O.S.(just happened to see it up on a shelf).

It does just as the package says.

Great job with the cooling, at lower RPMs = less noise.
They had 2 more from what I saw, so get em quick.
Compatible with AMD (skt A, skt 754, skt 939) and Intel (skt 775, P4)

One drawback though.  The fan can only be mounted to blow up or down,
and not to the rear of my case, but I got 4 Thermaltake case fans so no biggie.

Keeps my Athlon 64 3500 (stock speed) at 46 degrees C idle, and 50 degrees C full load
at only 2600 RPM.  Other fans I've used needed to be at 5500 RPM or above to do the same temps.
That heat-pipe design I'm sure makes all the difference.

Looks very good indeed... but is real ballz indeed that you can't mount to blow air towards the back of the case.

But I strongly suspect that direction factor is dependant on how the cpu socket is oriented on the case. It could be just your particular board.

Wat kinda temps were you getting with the stock fan for comparision?

[Arcmanov]

My temps used to be 50/51 degrees idle and 54/55 degrees full load,
so this cooler has made a world of difference.

The way the CPU is oriented it can only br mounted one of two ways.

Funny enough, i was there on Friday and i observed it as well. It was on top of a shelf to the left as soon as you walk through the door. I didnt take down but it was clearly visible from the ground. It looked quite interesting indeed. How much did you pay for it? I also saw some interesting water cooling solutions, but i can well imagine how much those cost there.

[Arcmanov]

Ah boy, is tha shelf self I see it on.  I was watchin the water cooling system real hard too.
I paid $350.00 for the cooler though.  I think it was worth it.

$350!

I paid $30 us = $200 TT with shipping for an articcooler pro! you guys just love getting ripped by the wiz don't u. Sorry they're over priced!

[Spazosaurus]

Overpriced is a gross understatement.

Reember the $7,400 amd x2 they had the other day?

Also, i went in for a modem last week....$100 for dotish intel software modem.

yuh know, if you had announce that you had needed  a new cooler, I'd have offered my Thermaltake Venus 12

I never used it and it have auto and manual fan speed control...  bought it for my future s939/AM2 system

[Arcmanov]

I was actually usin a Venus 12 before, but this cooler doin a better job and usin less power.

$350!

Yeah, my fault for not doing some research on it online 1st, but I saw it and I was like 'I GOTTA have it'.
Out came da LINX card.

Wont happen again (at least by Wizz[MCs]).
