Hahah, that doesn't look to good.

But, in theory that should work well. I mean splitting the fins up like that would allow the heat to dissapate faster.

That's crazy. I wonder what kind of moment that would put on the screws or tabs (however it's held down). Looks interesting though.

Do you reckon they have someone from the star wars team on their design team?

I wonder if the pix is exaggerated as it really looks huge. Wonder how effective this huge hsf can do to bring down the temp.

lol so tru e it really seems as htought ASUS is takin advantage of the starwars theme recently.. yeh proly puts a lot of stress on the mobo id say.. but i think it might acutally work quite welll

That's absolutely nuts. I imagine it's not too too heavy, it's mostly aluminum, with very thin copper tubing, but that's' huge. Unless your wiring is 100% perfect inside the case, you'd really be losing any advantage to such a monster. I know in my case, even with super-neat cabling and such, there'd barely be room for that thing, plus a fan for it.

If they're aluminum they should be fairly light, no? but would that have a good thermal conductance?

You could always add some chromed exhaut pipes to your case, that might look kinda cool.
