The Shadow Rock 2 is reasonably priced, performs well, and looks cool... Too bad it has one of the worst mounting mechanisms we've ever seen :(

 

why dont they put 4 holes through the heat sink it self, so you can put the screw driver or something down through the holes to mount it?

I am surprised at the mounting mechanism... I mean, the thing is German designed so you would expect awesomeness! Regardless, looks freakin' sweeeet!

Looks amazing but not sure about those fans tbh, well actually not that I am not sure, I dont like them tbh. I have a be quiet! Dark Rock 2 myself and its all inside of an Antec P280 (quiet case) with 5 other Antec case fans and the loudest thing by far is the be quiet fan. I'm going to be replacing it with Noctua fans tbh.

I'm confused about the graphs you showed. Load/Idle@20c and "Frames Per Second - More is better" does that mean you get the CPU to 20c and take not of the amount of FPS it took?

No... it must be a mistake, that would mean the H100i is a load of poo. Annotations all up in this b*tch!

Does Linus not realize the links he uses for NCIX don't work outside of Canada? At the very least in the US they just take me to http://us.ncix.com/, and Hotspot shield doesn't let me pretend to be from Canada.
