So i guess it means we can post here.

Here goes:

1. Cooling performance and noise level.
2. It`s easy to use and it offers a very good cooling performance. It`s really nice that it keeps you informed about everything you need to know in temps, rpm...
3. Manufacturers website.


Thanks a lot.

My entry:

1. the most important thing is to cool the cpu properly and of course keep the temps low.
2. watter cooling capability and the fact that you don`t need your all case full of wires and pumps. that customized display is awesome.
3. magazines and friends.

Great giveaway, by the way!

1. Performance. I'm not into flash and would rather let the number shown in the temperature monitoring application do the talking although this thing is mighty purdy.
2. It's universal for Intel folks. There's nothing worse than finding out something sweet isn't compatible with your gear.
3. Vendor websites to see what's available followed by manufacturer websites to see the exact specs followed by review website to get an idea of how it performs. I'm a budget builder so nothing gets my money unless it's worth it.

1.cooling performance. in summer i get around 50C at my cpu at stock speed with stock cooling so it`s not good.

i`m already a fan of coolit page on facebook.

Q: What is the most important feature in a CPU cooler?
A: A consistent cooling effect all over the CPU, as well as high performance of cooling ability

Q: What do you like most about the Vantage ALC [as seen in the video]?
A: LCD display is brilliant for having an accurate realtime readout of temperature and simplifies things like additional temp monitors being unnecessary. Brilliant for custom system builders .

Q: What resources do you typically use to research CPU coolers when trying to make a decision on which one to buy [i.e. this website, magazines, friends and family, manufacturers website, etc.]
A: Always visit XtremeSystems for a quick perusal of the latest hardware, then pay a visit to some watercooling shops (i.e. TheCoolingShop, Petra's, etc.) to do a quick scan of pricing/availability and then will usually start a shopping list and mock up a diagram to see where things should/will go.
