I really wanted this cooler, I wanted it to succeed, I wanted it to at least be up there near the D14, Silver Arrow, and *gulp* H100. Sadly, the temperatures it has shown in these tests are poor, it doesn't fit over most RAM at all, even low-profile RAM (or barely), and unfortunately, aesthetics can't make up for these very real world scenario problems. =/
Here's a good review of it:
I was so excited when I woke up this morning, checked my email, and saw he had finally done the review for the 12X, as I was one of the many people he mentioned in the video "who pestered him about it." I really love how this cooler looks, the cool blue LEDs versus bright eye-straining LEDs, I remember when I first got my Zalman CNPS9900ALED, I was worried the blue LED would be one of the bright ones, it is in fact the opposite, it is a very cool, calm blue of sorts. Too bad this failed. Discuss here.
