What happened to these heatsinks? I can't seem to find them on sale

- Prolimatech Megahalems
- Thermalright HR-02 (Macho edition included)
- Thermalright AXP140

It's like the Megahalems dropped off the face of the planet after they were on sale for $45 every week, and the HR-02 and most Thermalright products are no longer available.

I'm guessing that possibly retailers like the better profit margin of other brands.

Thanks but those either ship to U.S. only, or cost half the price of the heatsink (which is already much more expensive than they used to cost) to ship to Canada.

Sites like Newegg have no Thermalright products in stock, and the Megahalems is no longer listed at NCIX. The Noctua NH-D14 which used to regularly go on sale for $60 is now regularly $80.

Suppose I'll just hang in a bit longer and maybe by the time IVB comes out I'll be able to collect all of the parts I want.

I've noticed this trend as well. Considering how expensive these huge air coolers were, I'm pretty sure they didn't sell as well as the alternatives. These days it seems like the popular items that sell well are cheap but highly effective coolers like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 models or the closed-loop liquid cooling products like the Corsair Hydro line.

There's probably the reason for the(btw excellent) HR-02 Macho edition; the original HR-02 barely sold at all which means loss. The Megahalems is getting a bit old, and even coolers age faster marketwise nowadays. While still good there's little reason for retailers to carry it.
