it's amazing that these nerds are worried about the look of their computer case. i understand performance wants/needs and requirements, but who gives a fuck what the inside of the computer tower looks like.
@r32adt3db Well, to someone who actually builds their own computer, it's like building your own car. You put time and effort into it, don't you want it to look good?
@r32adt3db yeah, the only thing i care about in look in my computer, is the case. even when i build it, i never look inside, it is below the table,so...I dont care about LEDs or lights, the only thing i care is the performance, but not how it looks like.
@tklu84 It's way better than the V8, I was kinda sad when I found out cause the v8 just looks amazing, but I really ended up thinking the megashadow just looks as beautiful. The performance is pretty close to the H50; some benchmarks say it's better, others say it's slightly beaten by the H50. I just think it looks nicer and it is cheaper, so I don't care about a difference of one degree that you get with such similar performances.
I know your comm was 4 months ago but I hope that helps you out.
I have the Megahelems. I switched it out with a CoolerMaster V8. Dropped the temps by 10C. Very Very good Heatsink. Out perfomrs my Corsair H50 too. There is an AMD braket, so Albert is wrong. They don't include it in the box. It costs like $12 extra.
@Computenator With the Megashadow, they tend to be a bit curved according to what I've read. Most likely if you buy one of these, you'll lap it anyway. So I don't think any coolers were 'really' harmed in the making of this video.
Meh, I already got the H50. It serves my Q9550 C1 well :)
I don't need the 1-2C drop in temps that the Megashadow gives. Push/Pull on H50 and you got yourself the same performance as a megahalems (it beats TRUE by far as well).
it doesn't fit in my pc !!! the bar to hold down the radiators only fits in one 'direction' utter crap and a waste of money

Is this the same CPU Cooler as the Megahalems and MegaShadow? But just with a re-skin?
Rapagangsta 1 year ago
Also can be used on the amd series am2+ am3 with a kit you can buy from the same blokes.

I have a GA-X58A-UD3R motherboard. If I plug a 3-pin fan into the CPU fan header, will the fan speed stay the same?

Megashadow ... more like Megatron :))

Do you mount 120mm fans on it or does it function on it's own?
SimCity4IE 1 year ago
@SimCity4IE It's already very good without fans, but adding fans just makes it as efficient as liquid cooling, if not more in certain cases. Kickass.
skateboardjo 1 year ago
@skateboardjo Awesome. It should be good in a HAF 932 or Antec 1200 due to airflow so :D!

This is the normal Mega Shadow, the silver one is called Megahalems! The deluxe version includes something special...

this is currently the number 2 cooler based on frostytech list of top coolers. Big air beats those all in one water cooler solutions like the H50

The Megashadow isn't the best. What about the Thermaltake IFX-14? Or the Noctua D14?
