Silentmaxx Twinblock! The HR-02 is one of the biggest coolers on the market, yet look how small it is compared to this unapologetic monster.

GC_PaNzerFIN · Apr 8, 2012

Why? Because that wins the award for worst chipset cooler ever in terms of durability. 5 of these died, then I gave up and threw the board out of the window, quite literally.

Lol ... and my quiet little Zerotherm NV120 premium with a single 120mm fan outperforms it on heat dissipation in watts by 50% (according to both coolers' specs).

Great thread, btw. Brings back lots of memories seeing some of the strange coolers people have come up with over the years.

This is what I was going to post if I had not seen it before the end. It is such an oddball.

Mounted like that, not only makes it impossible to install on a chassis, but also to install a graphics card. (Notice the pipe over the audio plugs)
Gladly, the mounting system allows for other orientations. (one of them with a fan)

It does, but where would you stick a fan?
That thing alone won't keep an idle CPU under 60ºC.

I remember when that came out. Seemed effective at the time.

I wonder: touching the case while it is "active", wouldn't it be hot? And fragile [either way]?

Nope

Ah! Well, that explains it.
Still a complex mechanism, but I like it and it does seem more efficient that standard tower-type coolers.

Yes, necro. I had to. Please add some more!

Sorry, companies seen to go on a long "not f***ing up" streak. So unless someones derps out a silly ghetto one, You're out of luck.
