Asus' Big, Bad StarIce Cooler

Asus' StarIce is big, heavy and looks uncannily like a jet plane reactor. Does the leviathan device get the job done by keeping temperatures down for overclocking and other CPU punishing apps?

noisier, heavier, and worse performance then stock Intel? hard to believe :/

these numbers tell a different story:

INTEL 775 3.4 Extreme Edition (Engineering Sample) stock and / @ 3700mhz 1.65 volts

10°C difference with Stock

TomsHW sucks at HSF reviews, their C/W rating is heavily flawed; the only site which gives a reasonable C/W rating is www.overclockers.com ; period.

I'm sure more reviews will show up to prove how it goes.
