Good if you have a height restriction or need to cool the area around the CPU, but a tower style cooler will outperform it.

Yeah. The Mugen 2 & Xiggy are cheaper. You can get a TRUE for somewhere around the same price as that.

EDIT: If you like it for it's looks, then go ahead. You may also want to consider the Scythe Zipang 2, but it doesn't have an LED fan.
i think that will work just fine.. and the price is pretty reasonable.
it will fit in just about any case as well.

There is very little info on this cooler, so it's hard to say.

It doesn't look like a bad performer though.

It looks/sounds like it will perform well enough,is it nickel plated at the base also?Lapping could also improve it's performance,imo if you like it go for it.

Unless you really like the looks, i dont see why you would spend that much money on a no name cooler like that.

The TRUE costs almost the same and I guarantee it will out perform that cooler...

I like to be an individual.

The base isn't nickel plated, but the rest of it is.

Or should I get the tuniq tower 2?
Lol one more bump before I buy.
Well if you aren't going to overclock that system by a whole ton, then go for it.
