Nope, it is not the end of the world either. Prolimatech has brought upon a great CPU cooler that breaks away from their traditional CPU cooler design. We all know Prolimatech's MegaShadow, Megahalems CPU coolers to be one of the best CPU coolers out on the market today. Even I am rather shocked at the performance of their new CPU cooler, the Armageddon.
The Armageddon is built upon the Mega series CPU coolers, but has a slight twist to it. Instead of the heat pipes running up the side of the CPU cooler, they have the fin array run from them towards the center. Prolimatech, decided to run the heat-pipes in the center of the CPU cooler then run the fin array towards the outside of the CPU cooler; therefore putting the heat pipes in direct contact of the airflow from the fans. This CPU cooler is one of the first heat-sinks to fully utilize not just one 140mm fan, but two 140 mm fans, for a push pull configuration.

"It's been hard to evaluate video cards these days as there is no difference between a model from one manufacturer and a model from another one based on the same graphics chip, since they are all identical and provided by the chip manufacturer (nVidia or AMD) and the only thing the video card "manufacturer" does is to add their sticker to the video card and put the card in a box with the "manufacturer" logo. This is why we were so excited to review a model where the manufacturer actually added something really unique to the video card: MSI N260GTX Lighting Black Edition comes with an overclocking panel (called AirForce) that can be installed on your case or desk, allowing you to overclock the video card by touching some buttons, making overcloking easy especially for the newbie. Other features were added to the video card as well: double the memory compared to the standard model (1,792 MB vs. 896 MB), 10-phase voltage regulator circuit, solid aluminum caps, ferrite chokes, lo
w RDS(on) transistors, test points on the board for you to check the GPU and memory voltages using a voltmeter and a better cooler."
