Wow...that looks awfully good. It did pretty well against the TRUE. Too bad you can't swap in a 38mm thick fan (if you can, correct me).
Any idea when it'll be available? As a side note...are these heatsink reviews all done with standard conditions? Same case (no case?) / airflow / ambient temperatures? -------------------- Mine:DFI SLI-DR EXPERT -- Opty 180 + Lapped TRUE -- Patriot 2x1 GB -- XFX 8800GTS 512 @ 700 -- Xplosion WD 80GB (XP MCE SP3) / SG 250GB (Vista Business X64 SP1) -- PCP&C Silencer 610 -- TT Armor -- Sharp Aquos LC-32GP1U 1080p GF's: DFI SLI-D (04/06/2006) -- AMD 3800+ opty heatsink -- Patriot 2x1 GB -- 9600GSO384 -- OCZ GXS 600W Recommended Power Supplies 1 - Recommended Power Supplies 2 - DFI NF4 "proper" CMOS clear - Tmod/Logan's DFI Bios Flash & Utilities DVD |

This cooler will be released to the public in early November. At least that's what I read on their forum. I believe their V10 cooler will be out in December.

Nice review, that thing is strong competition for the TRUE

Curious of the source of data for the TRUE. Was there one or two fans on the TRUE that you used in the test? Which brand and model of fan(s)? Thanks!

Not a problem It was a single fan sucking from the front to the back located on the front of the cooler, there is a 120mm fan on the back panel of the case The fan that is used on the TRUE 120 for those temps was a Thermaltake TT1225 (A1225L12S) -------------------- #1 (Personal) - Q9450| ASUS Maximus Extreme| 2 x 1GB Geil DDR3| Tuniq MiniPlant 950W| HD4870| WD 500GB HDD| Cooler Master Storm Sniper W/ Custom Watercooling #2 (Benching) - E8400| Foxconn BlackOPS| 2 x 2GB Patriot DDR3| Cooler Master 800W| 2x HD4870| 150GB VelociRaptor| Tech Station W/ DICE/Cooler Master V8 #3 (Review) - i7 920| MSI Eclipse SLI| 3 x 2GB Mushkin HP3 12800| Muskin 800W| NvidiaGTX 260| Seagate 1TB HDD| Thermaltake Armor W/ CM V10 Socket 775 Comp|3DMark Comp| OCC Reviews| C2D OC Guide| OCC F@H Team| OC Basics| OC Software| Water| DICE| OCC Rules| 5226MHz |

Bang for the buck wise I imagine the V8 walks all over the TRUE especially the added cost of a second fan. Looks wise I prefer the TRUE though, just my personal opinion. Are the Cool Master V10 and V12 out yet? Those should stomp the TRUE if they do not snap your motherboard in half. http://www.doomedpc.com/?q=node/58 "Thermaltake TT-1225 The Thermaltake TT-1225 fan is a 120mm fan which comes bundled with most Thermaltake cases, at the moment you can't buy it separately under this model number. It is pretty much identical to their blue-LED smartfan model. It’s very cute, and the blue LED looks great when installed in one’s system. It’s a bit louder than the Akasa fan. - Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 25mm - Rated speed: 1400 RPM - Sound: 21.0 dB - Air flow: 41.6 CFM* - Bearing: 1 Ball, 1 Sleeve - Life expectancy: 50,000/ hrs - Volts: 12 - Amps: 0.30" |

"cute" haha...it was the only 120mm fan that I had laying around for usage as all the others are dedicated to other tasks and the Thermaltake worked perfectly fine
