Prolimatech Readies Cool-Blue Megahalems Rev. B CPU Cooler

btarunr · Jul 16, 2012, 08:22 AM

Even as GIGABYTE is shedding its signature blue PCB color scheme for higher-end motherboards, leaving it to entry-thru-mid range products, Prolimatech is giving its flagship CPU cooler, the Megahalems Rev. B, a cool-blue finish in its new variant. This is almost exactly the same shade of blue as the one Gigabyte uses on its motherboards (refer to the third picture below). Most of the cooler's 88 stainless steel fins are blue, with the top fins on each of the two stacks retaining a chrome finish. The six 6 mm-thick heat pipes passing through them are made of nickel-plated copper, while most metal parts of the retention modules are colored black. The cooler otherwise retains the same specifications of the Megahalems Rev. B, including support for the latest CPU socket types, such as LGA2011. Prolimatech could charge a tiny premium over the original's US $70 price-tag.

cool indeed..

Prolima following Phanteks way?

Sinzia · Jul 16, 2012, 09:04 AM

I bet that would look good on the blue asus boards too.

GC_PaNzerFIN · Jul 16, 2012, 11:01 AM

Now make one red and white and don't forget to anodize the top plate.

Steven B · Jul 16, 2012, 01:37 PM

yea ugly.

Aleksander · Jul 16, 2012, 03:15 PM

The cooler is giant, and seems a bit ugly, but seriously, is there any other better passive cooler?
This would be great for a passive cooling pc which i would think of buying if i find one.

m1dg3t · Jul 16, 2012, 03:19 PM

Since this is "kool blau" will it run cooler?

I can see some situations where this would fit in but i'm still a fan of the chrome/polished HSFs

Here's one http://www.thermalright.com/products...t_id=11&id=178
It's obscenely large and designed to sit closer to the rear exhaust fan than usual.

Size comparison : ]

That Hr02/MACHO is a BEAST

Jizzler · Jul 16, 2012, 03:30 PM

Nice, daughters favorite color. I know which HS to use if we don't WC her next system.

Yukikaze · Jul 16, 2012, 07:34 PM

Finally a cooler to fit Gigabyte motherboards :P

Dj-ElectriC · Jul 16, 2012, 07:36 PM

Yeah, too bad the gigabytes boards that really need this are black... (at least on the intel side)

tacosRcool · Jul 16, 2012, 08:43 PM

I like the blue color but damn its expensive

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · Jul 17, 2012, 04:33 AM

looks a bit toyish if you ask me

w3b · Jul 22, 2012, 01:30 PM

I love the colour there.

Venturing off topic but I would have loved it if Noctua had the U12P SE2 available in that colour back when I put together my current System Specs PC ~2 years ago
