It have been posted before, and it's CoolerMaster Japan Engineered, not like other CoolerMaster products that is engineered by taiwan.
For me, it's too damn large, it'll surely break the motherboard, i wouln't trust my motherboard to take such a large heatsink...  Furthermore, the heatpipes is too long before it reaches the fins, so the heat is taking longer time to reach the cooler parts aka the fins... Let's just wait either it'll really going to be produced or just a concept item...  |

QUOTE(irangan @ Dec 6 2006, 11:40 AM) OH... it is just a prototype, is it... i thought that is a retail products. never see it in my life. so big! Yeah, it's a Prototype a.k.a. Concept Item Will it be released and produced? It's too damn large you know?  ' What kind of motherboard can stand the weight of that big heatsink? Furthermore, it seems like it'll need a large free space, will got stuck with other parts on ther motherboard such as the Northbridge heatsinks... |

QUOTE(PowerSlide @ Dec 6 2006, 11:52 AM) its not prototype anymore laa..its releasing somewer around this month..if prototype i dun bother to create this thread coz we all see b4 Owh, my bad, my bad... it looks gigantic but is not monstrous heavy..about 850g with both fan..at least not heavy like hyper 6  found the prototype pic the prototype dun hav hole in the middle..but this hav a hole..cut a hole there save alot of weight i guess Sorry... But an 850Gm without fan it's a little bit heavy don't you think? But to think that the old heavier Hyper 6 can be supported by most motheboard, i think this heatsink wouldn't be a problem though, but still, it's too... BIG... The biggest heatsink i've seen so far... Wanna try this aa Powerslide?  |

Darn the last picture that Powerslide gave us here, is making me drool...
 I'm gonna wait for some results from some reviews, and check the price first, if both is good, might wanna use this... With that large surface area, it should beat the other super heatsink...  |

Believe me, he will bring it in his bulk sales... better off Mordeno bring in the cooler for his bulk orders.... If the item is good, then why not... Now i'm worried about my casing... Will it fit? or it won't? What's the measurement of the heatsink aahh? |

QUOTE(E-J@1 @ Dec 8 2006, 08:35 PM) the height = 17.5 cm + 25 cm (fan), totaling 20cm, eeehhh same like ultra-120, then it will not fit in ur tsunami dream lor Damn it, this thing will never fit in my Tsunami Dream!!! should we also worried bout the location of the proc? ...  Argh... Maybe this is the right time for me to change to Gigabyte's 3D Aurora case? Looking at the displacement of heatsink, i'm kind afraid if it doesn't fit in my motherboard... |

QUOTE(PowerSlide @ Dec 9 2006, 06:16 PM) time to change to *ahemmmm* lian li Am thinking of getting a Lian Li PC A10 @ Gigabyte 3D Aurora... cm stacker would fit ..but this cm dun make it support s478  3D aurora is cheaper, but, i love the design of A10 as the motherboard tray is facing left side of the casing... Hmm, which one to go? What do you think of that casing guys?  QUOTE(s[H) sIkuA,Dec 9 2006, 06:30 PM]I am more worried about the noise rather than the weight Noise?if 2 = 220CFM , then 1 = 110CFM , AFAIK , a 12cm that can produce such high CFM at the same time will also provide alot of noise Change the fan lor...  I am not gonna use that 110CFM per fan it's gonna be noisy leh... QUOTE(E-J@1 @ Dec 9 2006, 08:50 PM) can't u flip the window upside down, making the case fan sits at the bottom near the pci slots.... Sell what? or, u could just sell it to me My case? QUOTE(ianho @ Dec 9 2006, 10:51 PM) Damn nice! I'm gonna haf a real good look at it when it comes out. Really good design. The fans sit on a bracket that can slide to the left or right so u can adjust it to fit ure mobo n case. I love it coz it cools the whole mobo n my mobo is 1 hot mobo. Look damn cool too. Love the design n the 2 big fans. Big is goooooooooooooooooooood. Heatpipes r sexayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I like. Yerp, Heatpipes are sexy!!!

QUOTE(@meno @ Dec 11 2006, 04:55 PM) But since it is for enthusiast, then the compatibility issue shouldn't be a problem as long as it fits most high-end extreme motherboards. Even if it has high clearance, i don't think fitting in on vertical would be a good idea as i think it'll got block with some high end vga cards... Bout the blockage problem mentioned by s[H]sIkuA, i don't think that would be a real problem as the heatsink has a rather high clearence. I'm more worried bout the weight though. QUOTE(E-J@1 @ Dec 11 2006, 04:59 PM) weight = little heavy than xp-90c & little lighter than CM Hyper 6 Nice... QUOTE(@meno @ Dec 11 2006, 05:21 PM) Ya, and that is considered to be damn heavy already. Full Copper Fujin... Don't wanna damage the mobo. I cant imagine if they built a full copper Fujin...(Luckily it was aluminium) Seriously, even if they will build a full copper fujin, it's gonna be freaking heavy, and i don't think there will be any motherboard that can support Full Copper Fujin... |

QUOTE(Vervain @ Dec 11 2006, 09:31 PM) great, so it depends on mobo design, the casing clearance for top and side and most of all, the bonding strength. high cfm doesn't mean it can efficiently cool of the heat from the processor. considering the large block is there to obstruct the internal circulation This is the thing that make me scared to use that heatsink... 2 things, GC card and rear exhaust fan will be blocked? |

QUOTE(E-J@1 @ Dec 12 2006, 10:58 PM) as for amd they have to recheck their socket adapter (which way does it face - like in the pic), lucky for 775 user, can mount anyway they want, don't have to worry lor Not really, you have to check the placing of you're LGA775 socket, if the socket is in the wrong place, then you're screwed... |

QUOTE(irangan @ Dec 22 2006, 12:07 AM) february ar.... hmmm... so near but i yet see any news about it in local pc magazine. any idea on its pricing? estimated? It should be lower than RM300, it can't be more than that, as if it's more than RM300, those Ultra 120 & Infinity users will just stick with their heatsink...  |

QUOTE(point blanc @ Feb 9 2007, 04:44 PM) i guess the price would be 2 or 3 times the current HSF. That's propostorous! may be more... considering it's size, fan and heat pipes... probably end up to about RM 700.00 There's no way an air cooling heatsink will reach RM700 I'd say that the highest price for that heatsink will only be RM300 For what you spend RM700 for that heatsink? RM700 could get you a lower end swiftech watercooling kit dude! Definitely way better than all other high end heatsink. |

QUOTE(error @ Mar 4 2007, 12:50 AM) surprisingly the coolermaster geminII / fujin? is cheap ... WTF..sapu-ed 2 biji for myself and another fren at RM 145 each in MyPC  the staff said it arrived yesterday ( 2nd March ) and i've took the last 2 piece ok result so far is quite good. I was using stock intel hsf and now this monster with 2 x 120 cm led fans. C2D 6600 @ default speed @ 1.275v Intel hsf --> idle:45c || load:65c geminII --> idle:40c || load:52c RM145? Tell me this is not real. |

Got a time to go to moderno shop last week, and got a hold of the geminii in my hand. [hold only, no buy
]From my experience, yes, it is lightweight. But looking at overlength heatpipes, i don't know either i can really rely on that heatsink.  |
