I see it at $89. Where do you get $100+?

The Mega Shadow costs more due to the nickel plating.

Well I already had fans, so I guess I didn't mind the extra $ for the plating. Plus I called a few places around here in Florida and nickel plating is expensive. I was thinking about getting a regular Megahalems and get it plated but I was quoted at least $110 to plate it.

With a 965 i'd just invest in a full wc loop :| you already put out the money for that beast.

Multiple reviews that I've read on the internet say it's fine if you need a low-noise and compact watercooling system. I'm not saying the H50 sucks, it just serves a different purpose than a full-on watercooling setup.

The megahalems is a good choice. But remember it is dang heavy. I made a thread about the weight of it with 25mm and 38mm fans attached.

I think it is a great cooler but it will cause the board to warp. That is just a huge amount of weight just hanging off the side of the board.

If i was you i would take the money and start buying some water cooling parts. You can do a little at a time, check out the for sale/trade forums. As they have some great deals in there all the time.

If you do go with the megahalems i would use some zip ties and help support it. I can't comment on the corsair h50 as i haven't used it.

where's your thread about warping and the proof, im just wondering because my megahalems is on my P6t with absolutely no problem whatsoever.
It weighs exactly the same as the normal TRUE 120, how the hell is your board warping?
How are you mounting your heatsink?
What else do you have on the board?
When i was using the TRUE Black, i never had warping issues from the multiple boards i used on it.
Please i'd like to see this data on warping MB because of a 790g heatsink.

lol, my megahalems, amd mounts, and 38mm panaflo cost me $110

worth it completely. Oh, and sure you can get a WC kit for a little more, but they would be close to same performance since the kit would not be high end at all TBH.

Here you go.. It's on the first page of Prolimatech Club. Personally, I don't have any problem with the Mega at all. Highly recommended.
