Cooler Master's brand reputation is one of the best in the industry, and when they release a product you can bet it is going to be good. This is because as one of the largest manufacturers of computer chassis, cooling solutions and power supplies, it has the resources to take the time and make sure a product is done right before it hits the market.
The newest product from this company is a very unique CPU cooler that utilizes 6 twin "V" heatpipes, and dual 120mm PWM fans. However, it is not the fans, or heatpipes that make it unique, but rather the method that was used to enhance the look of the cooler. What Cooler Master has done is take plastic panels and surrounded the cooler and fans in such a way as to make it look different than other coolers on the market.
Often products that are meant to be pleasing to the eye can miss the mark when it comes to performance. So, let's put this heatsink through the paces and see if it can function as good as it looks.

Great cooler too, beating the TRUE is no easy task. It would be awesome if it could do it on auto settings as well.
Thanks!
It retails for $69.99. Ouch! But that price does get you the cooler and both fans.
It's a nice chunk of change but it performs well enough to be priced at $70.
