Sure does look like a jet engine, lol. I note the Coolermaster fan is
like the aero7 series, a true squirrel cage fan setup, versus the Asus
product's radial fin fan design. I put an aero7 in 1 or 2 systems I
built for others, I thought they were a bit noisy at full speed, but
did a nice job of cooling.

| here this one looks more "jet engine" type.
| I run the Aero 7lite on my system and the damn thing works
exceptionally well.
| The ASUS thing really looks too heavy to hang onto a CPU.Judging by
the
| description it seems to rely on the Copper Heat Sink and heat pipes
to lift the
| air off the CPU and the fan(s) blow over the heat sink without
actually blowing
| any cool air over the CPU.It is 144mm high ...thats almost 51/2in
high a normal
| case is only about 8in wide the MOBO is inset about 2 in ....that
makes for a
| very very tight fit.
