The biggest heatsink I've ever seen!

[howardb]

Just got this through from Frontosa - never seen anything like it - have to have a damn huge case to fit it in...comments?

 

[The_Techie]

Woah

 

[howardb]

I think I'll get me 3 - one for the CPU, and one for each GPU -- no, wait, I can't fit it on the GPU's...

...plus it would add an additional 2kg's to the PC weight

the line "Now overclocking your server is not just a dream" makes me think it's a "late" April 1st joke!

I also thought so when I got the e-mail, but they also have two even larger ones:
-- the Ultra-120 eXtreme

-- the IFX-14 Inferno

Will any of those fit in a 1U chassis?

Will any of those fit in a 1U chassis?

...maybe with a bit of a squeeze...

Big problem? BIGGER hammer!

[The_Unbeliever]

Now the game will be "My heatsink is bigger than yours"...

expect all sorts of biggie-best heatsinks to appear soon...

will those fit on my laptop?

...only if you have an older mid 80's model that was about the size of a small family car...

A mental picture is emerging - where were these when I had my beetle...

 

[Glordit]

That's pretty large, but saw one on the net at Cnet 07/06' that used a whole case just to house it!
Will scrach around on Fudzilla and see if I can find it

 

[kronoSX]

As a electronics man i am sure i can design something smaller,but there will be a boat propeller at the other end .

 

[HavocXphere]

What I want to know is how the mobo can handle the weight of that thing....

 

[Fudzy]

Do they provide a list of chassis that support that monster? I recently bought a HyperTx (only because no one stocks AMD S939 standard coolers anymore) and had to mod my Antec to fit it.

 

[howardb]

I can't seem to get onto their site - looks like they're upgrading or something - from what I read in a few reviews, they seem to come with a clip(s) of sorts to assist with distributing the weight and keeping them steady on the chassis - I think you'd need a pretty darn good clip to hold the Inferno model as it weighs approx. 800 grams, excluding any fans you may want to add - up to 4x 140mm apparently...

I can't seem to find any reference to the supported chassis - maybe when their website is back up, they may have a list available.

It's about the same size as the Asus Silent Square pro that I have in my Aerocool case. It misses the side window by about 24mm.
