Where have you been reading and heard? Have you ever read one of those dozen of reviews where they awards and accolades the TRUE? Did you know that the edges of an Intel processor are rounded, not completely flat.

That was OCZ Vendetta 1. Just the price alone would have dethroned TRUE. $55 for a heatsink only versus $40 for a heatsink complete with fan, and if you slap a better fan on either, the results would be very... different.

Time for some HDT love at low prices.

To get the best out of the TRUE you'd need a good 120mm fan that does 70 CFM or higher. "Quality" and performance comes at a price when one's demand extreme air cooling. You know, I "might" just buy one and test it on the my system with everything the same except for the cpu cooler. And return it after I'm done with testing.
