Legit Reviews has posted a review of the Killer Whale Premium CPU cooler from Deepcool today. With a name like "Killer Whale" how can you go wrong? :D

The Killer Whale Premium is a C-shaped top-down style cooler. The fan for the Killer Whale Premium is slightly different than a standard 120mm fan. A standard 120mm fan is 25mm thick; the fan for the Killer Whale Premium is 48mm thick. The extra thickness allows for more static pressure at the same RPM as the thinner fan.

It has been proven time & time again that particular design isn't efficient for cooling current processors, stock and overclocked.

Why would anyone want design a HSF that blows hot air back onto the base of the heatsink? Isn't the commonly accepted practice to move heat away from the processor? :confused:
 
oooh - a thick fan that lets all the air out on the side. :rolleyes:

Give me some paper and some tape and I bet I could have that thing drop the temp by
5c+ in about 5 minutes.
 
Aw come on guys, the temps aren't bad, they're just not the best.

No backplate and 2.6lbs = trouble. Oh, and not available in the US?

Btw im not buying this thing unless it makes milkshakes.
 
I'd imagine that the open sides of the fan are not a good thing. I'm no fluid dynamics expert, but I was always under the impression that the frame of the fan was to channel all of the airflow forwards, preventing the air from flowing radially off of the edges of the blades. I'd imagine that it would have a detrimental effect on the pressure.

By making the fan be shrouded all the way around of course.
 
i want to see some tests on shrouded vs. un-shrouded fans...anybody got any links?

i thought those arctic cooling un-shrouded fans were suppose to allow more air to be sucked through and with a lower decibel rating. at least that's what they are rated for compared to other similar size fans.
