Cool master just announced the Z600.

Apparently "the cooler’s X shape design retains rapid heat transfer and creates a lower backpressure, forcing air to pass through quickly."

Does this design seem like a plausible new breakthrough or is it just a gimmick?

Juding from the look of it and CM's less than brilliant rep its probably more of a design choice that theyve tried to justify later on.
However, it may perform quite well with all those heatpipes and large surface area, but i dont think it'll trouble the top air coolers.
Interesting stats:
Six 6mm heatpipes (8mm are proving better these days)
1045g! (doesnt say if thats with a fan or not, but either way, its a beast.)
127.8 x 127.8 x 160mm makes it fatter and taller than even the ninja.

What a poser, can barely wait to see the limited motherboard support, heck, with this size its perhaps time to start setting up casing compatibly lists too.

This is really becoming absurd

Read the Frosty Tech review here. Same cooling and noise as the Scythe Mugen (AMD div); same cooling as the Coolink Silentator but slightly more noise than the much-smaller Silentator. Gee, I wish I could buy a Silentator... (Also tested on the Intel platform).

A fan is not included, so 1045g is without the fan.
