Performs very good surprised i havnt herd of it http://www.legitreviews.com/article/912/5/

It is right up there with the best but costs around 30.00 less in most cases and in some reviews it's the top cooler. So far in reviews it's best them all in some including the MEG, TRUE and Hammer but in some reviews it loses to them by a degree so it just depends on the review. It is smaller than the TRUE and has a very nice base.

It seems to have a Xigmatek like price which is very nice and claims it can cool up to a 250 watt CPU...

Crazy pc will lap a True for ya but it's 20.00 http://www.crazypc.com/products/ultra-120_extreme-50983.html but for that price you can buy two great fans for the Baram and get the same performance in a smaller cooler and the Barams base is lapped by the factory.

this video test is cool Baram http://v.egloos.com/player2/MoviePl...88f8721e129b38c96e7111c07e49b6e91fce987702e4f TRUE http://v.egloos.com/player2/MoviePl...825268e2430329e8e0dd543201799b8df4def7647a72f


Hey just another option since I was hunting for a different option to try. I thought I would pass this on. I also posted the 49.00 deal in the deals section.

tested one yes, but only with like an 80CFM single fan iirc. Cooler is a "sleeper". Very unassuming but can put up really good numbers with 80-100 CFM. I thought this cooler had a ton of potential, but at the time money was king, so it left my hands rather fast:(
