Heatsink suggestions for review

[b1lk1]

OK guys, after the last thread went south, I am gonna try one more time. Here are the 4 simple rules:

1. ONLY POST HEATINK NAMES/BRANDS YOU WANT TO SEE REVIEWED.

2. ALL OTHER POSTS WILL BE DELETED.

3. IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS TESTING METHODOLOGY PLEASE START YOUR OWN THREAD. IT WILL NOT BE MODERATED DOWN BY ME OR ANY OTHER STAFF MEMBER.

4. READ THESE 3 RULES AGAIN.

Thermaltake Frio is a new release, supports up to 220 Watts - Intel's i7 980-X 6 core, as well as the usual sockets. Looks damn big.

Yes beta testers are testing Cooler Master's V6 coolers now. I wish I could have gotten in on that beta test. No ETA on a release date yet though.

I would be interested in seeing how Corsair's new tower coolers perform once they make their way to the market

Looks like it's all style and no substance. I'm pretty sure I read a review where it failed a stress test on an overclocked system at low fan speeds and barely made it at higher speeds. Then again it was 3am so I could have been reading about a dishwasher.

That would be amusing if true... Newegg was advertising and using this exact cooler in their 980X youtube video.
