Looks like a nice product for a tarted-up system, also seems compact enough to make a tight fit but not really a competitor in the silencing market due to built-in fan.

Personally I prefer 92mm fans for coolers as they offer adequate airflow with a nimbler frame, a compact motor and a smaller dead zone. 120mm is of course more powerful, but I've found 92mm very much adequate for my needs.

The corners shouldn't have been cut off. And, of course, they should have made it to fit 120mm fans.

welcome to 2004, Asus has been using heat pipes for quite some time now;)

In an older Dell GX280 system I opened up at work, there was also a 4 heat pipe tower cooler installed. heat pipes have been mainstream for quite some time now.

A64 stock HSF for X2 anyone?
