Ultra quiet XP-heatsink from Verax
Hi!
Did anyone already test the new heatsink from Verax for XPs? I saw it on the site of PCSilent and it seems that it is a really quiet solution for all XPs. It has a copper plate under a aluminum-heatsink. It seems that they´ve used high-tech (cold gas spraying) to bring a 0.2mm thin layer of copper under the heatsink to have a basis to solder a 3mm thick copper layer to it. Take a look the cooler:

By the specs, they seem #*$%ing expensive!
The fans are $35 (on sale from $45 USD)

The link with the heatsinks in it - $86 and change for that heatsink.

Stupid me...it was Tom's Hardware that reviewed the thing:

It's performance is as good as a AX7 with Papst NGL but noise is much higher (more like a Papst NGML or a Vantex Stealth).

I bought the $35 "special" Verax out of curiousity.
It is really quiet, but has a kind of annoying high pitched noise from the fan motor itself. Probably won't be noticeable when used as a CPU fan, but probably would be annoying if several are used as case fans.
It has almost no air turbulence noise, but that's because it has very little airflow. About the same as the 1900 RPM Papst, but much quieter than the Papst.
It is interesting that the Verax is really lightweight, and has little to no vibrations when spinning.
