Will MB be getting some of these beasties?

Compared to an H50 on the right.

thanks for the heads up on that Steve-O!!

...if MB carries these and the price is very close to the H50 - id buy one for sure.

im off to look up performance

EDIT: I read several reviews of the H70. All state in one way or another that performance is several steps above that of the H50. Mostly due to the larger rad that can hold much more liquid. Also coming with two fans for push pull, they suggest mounting so that air from the outside of the case is used and not the internal "case air".

id like to buy one.

well a certain E-tailer that starts with N and ends in x has this cooler listed for 109.99 ( after the $10 mail in rebate). SO regular price is 119. For the performance increase from the H50- its worth the 20 bucks :)

Count me in on one if/when you get one Rob & pals! I need to get rid of some of them fans in my HTPC box so an upgrade swap would be in order!

Behold, the CoolIT C240 A.L.C. ECO

Nifty, although one would need a fairly specific case (like the 800D...) for it to fit properly.

Oooh, they also make a dual head version, hoho!

Bigger rad = more coolant + larger surface area = better cooler.

you going that route instead?

I'm impressed running Prime95 all 4 cores running at 100% max temperature is 49 degrees so far. Idle I've been seeing 33 degrees. My Coolermaster V8 I was seeing 40 degrees idle not sure the max with the Coolermaster.
