If you are looking for a new CPU cooler, and you have the space in your case, check out this review of the Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme at PC Perspective.

Thermalright is an established brand in the CPU cooling arena with its track record for innovative creations designed to best remove the heat from your prize CPU. The latest incarnation of their cooler line for Intel and AMD-based CPUs takes the form of the Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme, a massive nickel-plated copper cooler sporting two 140mm fans to aid in heat dispersal. We tested this cooler in conjunction with other all-in-one and air coolers to see how well the Thermalright cooler stacks up.

This thing looks beast. Ive got a Cogage Arrow (not as good as this one) with two high cfm fans and it cools my overclocked Haswell i5 very well. 65c at 4.5ghz 1.32v.
 
"Polished to a mirror finish for optimal mating with chips."

Considering the mating surface is a pretty rough looking heat spreader that is soldered onto the chip, I wonder if the heatsink isn't mostly polished to mate to the customer's credit card.
 
seems like every company is ripping off the noctua d-14.and this one even charges more for it.lol
 
I'm pretty sure Thermalright had a similar design before Noctua...
 
Not too bad for 1.65 pounds. I tried out a Phantek for a little while. It was decent but went back to my Prolimatech Black. Which cools just about the same but a way smaller foot print. I also see Prolimatech has went with the new color design. Seems the Phantek's colors is catching on now. Just don't see the need for huge heavy heat sinks these days.
 
Pretty soon they'll have the "box fan edition" with one of these bungee corded to the side of it.

I seriously doubt this beats the H110 and the NZXT X60 like this review says it does, given every other review pegs it at NH-D14 performance
