If you look closely it has 8

I think his point was you have more hot air in the case because the CPU cooler radiates more. But that is the whole point.

I wonder why the have 4 separate heat sink sections rather than 1 or 2 larger ones, as they would cover more surface area that way.
Good luck proving that airflow changes negate the gain in thermal performance without a fluid mechanics computer simulation. It would take a lot of airflow restriction for that to be the case, and I guarantee you this design doesn't even come close to that.

i have a cm 212 and i am very satisfied. I think coolermaster makes better coolers than most people give them credit for.

Who cares about having loud fans? I don't get the silent PC craze, I actually want to be able to know my PC hasn't turn off or anything when I'm in my bedroom reading or the like. (I'm the kind of person who would overvolt one of those 220CFM Delta fans)

I'm a very strange person, I LOVE the sound of the PC fans... I love the sound of fans period, it makes me sleep better. I would think water cooling would be rather annoying, probably sounds like an aquarium.

If it sounds like that, you have air in your loop, and if you have air in your loop, you have a problem.
