Anyway it seems that this is the little brother of the Core Contact Freezer, it has the same mounting system and the fin array is somewhat similar in shape.
These coolers featuring direct contact copper heatpipes are continually returning good results for reasonable money, Sunbeam & Xigmatek come top in Frostytech's TOP 10 coolers list, both feature direct touch heatpipes. I wonder how long before we see a naked Thermalright come to market.
