CoolerMaster Coolers
Proof that the Gigabyte 3D cooler works well can be seen by the number of similar models cropping up. A few days ago, CoolerMaster unveiled their heatsink based on a similar design to the Gigabyte 3D cooler. Take a look at CoolerMaster's Hyper6.

The CoolerMaster design looks like it has some advantages over the Gigabyte version. Particularly, it uses six heatpipes instead of four. There is also an aluminum sink in the center of the tower. Unfortunately, the Hyper6 does not come with a fan or fan control. There are mounting brackets on the top of the sink allow for an 80mm fan.
This spring and summer look to be very exciting for new case and cooling technology. Look forward to more case and power supply reviews in the next few months!

A watt is the SI unit of power (energy or work per unit time), and thus contains time implicitly: 1 W = 1 J/s. Perhaps you meant heat flux (i.e., power per unit area, or 150 W/cm2 )?Chuckles - Sunday, April 4, 2004 - link
I know its relatively minor, but there is an error on page one."A solid block of copper sits on the CPU, and is then sinked by 6 heatpipes anchored onto the 7mm aluminum chassis. Without moving components, the case is able to sink 150W per second!"
A Watt is a Joule per second, a measure of energy per unit time (power). Thus the article should read "... 150W!"
