With the FI-REEX Deluxe, ID-Cooling is a new contender in the CPU-cooler market. This heavy weight monster combines vapor chamber and vapor pipe technology with traditional heatpipes and soldered fins. New and unique, it might be what you are looking for if you can stomach the price.

Luckily it supports LGA2011-V3 to effectively block not 1 but 2 DIMM slots for the excessive price of $110.
Seriously, a $110 cooler should be well taught and not block a DIMM slot.

@crazyeyesreaper In the specs sheet you wrote Noctua as the manufacturer.

Thanks for the review

To each their own @Joss I will admit I do like it better than the typical Noctua colors and would look good on the older Sabertooth boards.

If you're going to make it ugly brown to try to stand out like Noctua and charge over $100 it had better at least compete with Noctua's NH-D15. This is hotter, louder, and more expensive than the NH-D15. Definitely needs to go back to the drawing board. I hope nobody wastes money on this.

When the Cp-cooler brands are going to understand, that you cannot sell a cpu-cooler by having a different color only
