Apparently been available for a few weeks but I don't see any mention of it here.

Could it be, possibly, that people are a little shy of it's weight? (1,900 grams!) Who's got a motherboard that they hate and feels like testing this for us?

IIRC the TRUE copper is supposed to be a limited-release, so I'm pretty sure that's why there hasn't been much interest. Also, the cooling hasn't improved that much to justify the weight & price, methinks

Well ok, that's true. But all of those things are also true for the Ninja Copper, though it isn't quite as rediculously heavy.

The price is as astronomic as the weight.

yeah i just noticed this... jeez it's heavy.

copper is the best though, dont let anyone on here make you believe otherwise. 1-2C less temps for a cpu with same design in copper. I have purchased a lot of hs's in past and normally get a copper one for new rig and get the cheaper Al version for the older rigs, copper rocks.

so do 10 lb. weights ripping apart your motherboard.

Tested on QX9650 @ 3.0 and 3.8GHz. Only ~2C cooler under load at stock speeds and no difference when overclocked or idle (compared to TRUE).
