i like it, but when your building for looks, personally i dont like the size of cpu coolers taking up the whole case.... i use this and love it! never had a temp spike or leak

I have solid panels and build for speed and quiet operation, beyond that I could care less. No led or flashing stuff and no window panel in the side of my Fortress FT02. I am seriously considering water for it's higher watt rating and about the quietest you can get.

So how do you even clean the HS @Fasttrak ? Must be a real pain to clean those every other week or so.

A fine nozzle on my compressor allows me to blow out the computer case pretty well. You just have to stick something in the fans as the air compressor will destroy the bearings on these liquid suspended fans. It is a large heat sink, is pretty heavy, but when setup is solid and no problem for the motherboard. I get more stressed setting up new systems where these large graphics cards are hanging horizontally off the PCIE bus all day long.. Glad my case has the motherboard inverted and the graphics card mounts vertical to the ground.

I have this cooler and you don't really have to clean it every other week. I clean my pc out every 5-6 months, or when temps start to rise. Beast of a cooler, isn size and performance. Fans are easy to remove when cleaning as well. This price is wayyyy cheaper than what I bought mine for a few years ago.

yah, that top-facing rear panel is what i loved about the FT02.

I had ordered it online, when the box arrived I was amused at why they would put a CPU cooler in a box so big. Open box and the CPU cooler package is damn near as big as the box they shipped it in, the thing is pretty massive but moves a ton of air and does it quietly.

oh yah, i got one right here for my homie's build. the newegg box was huge, and it only had the noctua and an HX750, lol.
