GELID showed off the Sirroco CPU cooler. This tower-type air cooler features a heavy heatsink coupled with an innovative new fan design from the company. It features a tower-type design, but the aluminium fin-stack is slightly offset away from the motherboard's memory area, for more clearance. Six nickel-plated copper heat pipes make indirect contact with the CPU through a copper base, conveying heat through the fin-stack, which is then ventilated by a Radiant D 120 mm spinner. The included fan features a unique new impeller with sawtooth blade edges to act like chevrons and minimize noise output, a double ball-bearing hub, 4-pin PWM control, and RGB LED lighting over 9 diodes (standard 4-pin RGB header). The cooler can handle thermal loads of up to 200W, and should support a variety of modern CPU sockets.

looks like a prettied-up Hyper 212 with some minor asthetic touches.........

plus two more heatpipes that are btw nickel-plated... also, not direct contact... oh, and, offset and deeper finstack... so, yeah, it's not exactly comparable to Hyper 212 :kookoo:
 
Whats so "innovative" about that fan design?
Is it the number of LED's?
Everything else has been done before.
