Thermalright Coming Up with the Silver Arrow SB-E CPU Cooler
To finish off the week in style Thermalright announced the Silver Arrow SB-E, a new, high-end CPU cooler based on the Silver Arrow model introduced back in 2010.
The Silver Arrow SB-E features a dual tower/dual fan design and has eight (nickel-plated) 6 mm copper heatpipes (the old Arrow comes with four 8 mm pipes), a tweaked heatsink, two TY PWM fans - one 140 mm and one 150 mm (the SA packs two 140 mm spinners), and a mounting kit offering support for Intel LGA 2011 / 1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 775 and AMD AM2(+) / AM3(+) / FM1 processors.
The Silver Arrow SB-E also makes use of some more 'discrete' fan clips that won't interfere with taller memory modules. The cooler is expected to become available at the end of this month. No price tag was announced but we found it on pre-order at about $103 / 78 Euro.

you people obviously have a point, but for the prices I'm looking at in AUS/NZ, high end air coolers still offer better value for the money.
There are also noise sensitive people who use these huge air coolers coupled with very low speed fans (300~1000rpm), to achieve low temperatures and low noise at the same time. And when fan speeds are that slow, noises emitted by water pumps in cheap WC setups becomes audible.
