Ahh. that makes sense.

No room for it in my tower.. I need to get one of those old style top down cooler for my X58 so I can use the mega on the bench.

actually in the review.. they didnt mentioned the arrangement of the heatpipes...its arranged alot better than the venomx....its more impeding to airflow but thats where we use our stronger fans....
instead they mention the surface area...which is also a valid point.

just fyi
