will try to add to next roundup:

- Scythe Mine
- Scythe Infinity

the others I'll have to check, because the version I have are K8 platform only, Enzotech I can forget, they don't want to send as I'm in Europe , will check for 3R.

Ahh. Shame about the Enzo. In lue of that, another one that might be interesting is Zaward's new Square Advance... it also uses 8mm heatpipes (only 3 of them though), as well as Direct-Touch heatpipes and comes with provisions to mount a second fan, all in a top-blower design (which may only perform well in cases with side vent/fans). The combination of features on this one make it interesting. I'm not sure where they are based, but they have Germany and Japan sites listed (I'm guessing Japan).

Hmm.. as a slight aside, I wonder if Zaward is actually the manufacturer of Sharkoon's golfball fans and/or 3R System's and/or Xigmatek's Direct-Touch heat-pipe heatsinks... they can't ALL have patents on those design features.

BTW, on the topic of other coolers, it might be nice to get some Thermaltake coolers in the list, like the Big Typhoon VX, Max Orb and/or V1. I think most reviews so far have the Max Orb and V1 roughly on-par with each other, some showing the Orb ahead and some showing the V1 ahead, depending on the test configuration.

Can't get hold of EU contact for Thermaltake, US guys only cover US, and .TW office not response
