Introducing the Nitrogon NT06, a redesign of the NT01 intended for CPUs that are hottest of the hot.

With double the surface area of the NT01 and the 120mm fan that seems be requisite to uber-coolers, Silverstone claim this cooler should still fit in almost any motherboard in almost any case... and cool pretty much any CPU that dare generate heat in its presence.

NT06

The three 8mm diameter heatpipes contain a heat-conductive power that draws heat towards the large copper fins atop the heatsink, where the large, speed-adjustable fan blows air over the unit. The base of the heatsink also has a small number of fins (aluminium) to further aid heat disspation.

Silverstone have a history of well designed products - some of their cases are noteworthy examples - so if Silverstone say the NT06 is good, we're inclined to believe them. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see what enthusiasts make of this should they decide to try it out in their rig, or perhaps even home theatre (if it fits.)

woah that look cool.. the same silverstone that make types for f1 racing?
Seems similar in appearence to the XP-120, though I doubt the fins have the same surface area. I won't replace my XP-120 with it, no matter what the performance, but it will certainly be interesting to read the review.
Have Silverstone produced any decent CPU heatsinks before? I can't recall any…

eh? Silverstone is a track, and no, this silverstone is nothing to do with them

Indeed, the company here is, technically, Silverstonetek, but better known as Silverstone.
This heatsink looks great. Hope it performs better than Silverstone's previous Nitrogen coolers which were abysmal.
