Kama Cross CPU Cooler

It has unique style, but how it will performs?

Good thing is that blows air down. Bad thing is that it has few heatpipes.

I would like to see a test vs a Thermalright SI-128 with a low rpm 12cm fan...

Hmmm....fins look pretty closely spaced--might have trouble with low-speed fans. Kind of odd that they don't have the minimal heatsink on the base, since this is one design where it might actually be useful and get some worthwhile airflow.

Hopefully we get a review of it here.

It looks like a V engine

However... as psiu said: closed spaced fin
I'd say in this configuration this can be a major problem: air flow will just flow off the side and straight down under the actual HS.
In other words: more airflow over the mobo, but not very efficient for cooling the actual CPU... at least not with a slow speed fan.
