i call shens. Ambient temps are way too much of a factor here to decide. Ill take my TRUE anyway.

I love my Hyper 212 <3!!

4GHz overclock with 47C load temps? Who wouldn't love that?

I have the original 212, not the 212+, which the 212 seems to be better. Mainly because of the two separate pieces, so that the heat is dissipated out and the heat moves away from the unit quicker. Just my $.02..

Also, I got the original as said, and the new one has this flippy thing to change between sockets. Mine came with 3 (?) separate pieces for LGA775 and AM3/AM2

My original also seems to cover a bigger area range. More real estate = more cooling.

What's nice about this though is the direct-touch heatpipes on the CPU, which the original didn't have. So I guess for what the new pluses lack, this makes up for. Probably right on par -- or, just above even because of that simple fact.

Meh....I still don't see how yours are perpendicular. I see the perpendicular-ness, I just don't see how you can say the heatpipes are perpendicular to the fan. teehee

Well, most HDT coolers (judging by my S1283 and S963 ) have a bit of a gap between the aluminium and the copper.

This serves two purposes:
1: to force air bubbles into instead of between the pipes+IHS.
2: to force excess TIM into instead of between the pipes+IHS.

The second is why i adore the design of HDT coolers so much - it can be engineered so that only the optimal amount of TIM is between the CPU IHS and the heatpipes.

I think, that I'll keep at the Prolimatech. Though nonetheless, I agree that this is quite the performance.

I kind of see what he means, but the usage of "perpendicular" is somewhat ambiguous.

I think what would clear it up is something like "the line of heatpipes is perpendicular to the fan" etc. (Maybe?)

i can't believe this. i can only get this hsf for only $30 in my local store.

but isn't the megahalem supposed to be on top?

So Coolermaster is undercutting their "Bling" line (V8 & V10) with a lighter, cheaper simpler and better performing HSF ?

^lol good point...
