ZOMG I can’t wait to get one. I want to see the benchmarks and if it’s better than the OCZ Vendetta 2 that’s coming in the mail now I’m definetly upgrading to this. Corsair has been known for it’s high quality products (I have a corsair psu and memory in my computer now). I can’t be happier with them. This cooler looks like a good buy for 80 dollars. WOOT WOOT!!!

@Rod – That is true, it is a bit of a piddly over clock, but remember it is already and EX edition high speed CPU so it is pumping out good heat already, and given the fact that this cooler is priced about the same as a high end air cooler it would be a smarter choice for the same price. It is also cheaper than the Asetek which runs $125+- and is the same thing and has a shorter warranty. And lets be honest – if your dropping 1G on a CPU… why the heck would you be buying a $100 watercooling system – I think it is definitely intended to make watercooling available for the mainstream user who wants cool and quiet – not the overclocking enthusiast

Can’t wait to get one! If this turns out to be a killer cooler, then high performance air cooler companies need to watch out!

They call that an OC (8%)? Technically it is, but it’s pretty misleading, IMO. Can it carry this processor to 4GHz (or so) and keep it under say 70°C.
