Prolimatech MegahalemsWhat happens when the best engineers from Thermalright decide that it's time to leave a stagnant company who refuses their ideas? They gather their intellect and begin Prolimatech. Unlike other companies that have formed from the intellect of another, Prolimatech didn't decide to leave their former home and release a mainstream product. The Prolimatech Megahalems offers everything former projects (like the Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme) featured, but then adds new engineering where there were improvements needed.
The Prolimatech Megahalems uses a very dense array of aluminum fins which are split down the middle to form two separate heatsink halves. The Megahalems is comprised of six heat-pipe rods, which span to each side and offer twelve total cooling ends. The nickel-plated copper base secures firmly to the CPU with a proprietary mounting clip system. This mounting system, which I am pleased to report is the most effective clip mechanism I've ever used, offers tremendous contact pressure while completely removing the chance of processor movement or sliding. Aside from a very impressive alloy mounting system, the Megahalems includes a standard-fit 120mm cooling fan offering exceptional performance with nearly no audible noise, but the hardcore overclocker and performance enthusiast will certainly want to exchange these parts for something more powerful. Benchmark Reviews has tested the Prolimatech Megahalems with both the included fans and a single Yate Loon D12SH-12 (88 CFM @ 40 dbA) for comparison. As of August 2009 the ProlimaTech Megahalems was available at FrozenCPU for $65.
