My computer for the next couple months at least. After 7 years or so, I'm finally switching back to Intel, so I'm going to be rebuilding everything. Wires are kind of a mess, but when you're lazy that's about as good as it gets.

Welcome back to the performance side ^^

Holy chunk-o of CPU coolers, it's practically a giant blue BRICK that could rival a D14 in size >_<

[DeltrusDisc]

That is insane! Excited to see your new build! Let us know if we can help you figure out what is best for your budget. ^_^

[Saithes]

Wow, that is one massive heatsink lol I kinda like how it looks though.

You should probably clean off some dust though, on both the rigs and the surface they're on

I haven't seen that one before myself. I am curious as to know how well it cools compared to the original Frio and the Frio Advanced. I used to have a Frio, with a stock AMD X6 1055T I was rocking 22 Celsius in my old Xclio Windtunnel case at stock speed, I get like mid to high 20's with my H80 <_<

here's my new laptop:
Sager NP9150
i7-3820QM 2.7-3.7Ghz
8GB DDR3-1600
GTX-675M
240GB Intel 520 SSD (will be used for windows and games)
80GB mSATA Intel 320 SSD (will be used for Backtrack5)
15" 1920x1080 screen, i can't tell if its IPS or VA, but its definitely not TN

Beautiful specs, was that laptop released just last week or something o_O
I really like how the lid has no logo or anything on it. Just matte black awesomeness.

Oh Cyan, I hate you >

I'm getting a $4000 build myself for this summer, but that laptop is absolutely gorgerous.

I had the shop install the cooler, because of the previously mentioned laziness, but the way its installed the intake fan is very close to the video card, which runs very hot, about 55 just sitting. With it sucking in all that hot air, the cpu sits at about 35 at 30% with a small OC, and sits between 40 and 45 at 100%. One of these days I either need to stop being lazy, or take it back to the shop, if it can be turned.

You know you can reorient the heatsink so the fans are away from the graphics card right? All you have to do is remove the mounts and face it toward the rear exhaust fan on the case so the fans pull air from inside the case and push it directly to the exhaust fan on the case.

Edit:

Here's what it would look like.

Check the black levels and if it has IPS glow.
Deep Blacks pretty much ensures it's not IPS.

IMO this is actually the preferred orientation since you have a top exhaust fan. Air goes where it's pushed, even around obstacles thanks to Bernoulli's Principle. Having the fans pulling up air from the video cards will result in that air being pushed straight up and out of the case whereas orienting the fans vertically will leave the heat from the video cards a little more static.

A little OT, but I never thought of it like that, but it does make sense.
