exposed pipe heatsink

According to the review its close to the TRUE120. But the review also shows the TRU120 cooler than the TRUE120... :confused:
 
I think they mentioned in the article that the concept has been before (?) but not with such huge success as the HDT-S1283. Plus I think the design relies heavily on the fact that the CPU must be very (or extremely) smooth and flat to maximize contact between the heat pipe and the cpu's heat spreader so lapping the cpu is a must (or generally preferred) or results will vary greatly between individuals with the heat sink.

Hmm does anyone know if it provides a cheaper alternative to the TRUE/Tuniq tower/Thermalright Ultra 120? It got a terrific review at frostytech but newegg only has 1 customer review and there doesnt seem to be alot of talk about the unit on this forum and others even though according to frostytech it is their second best heatsink?
