[ Introduction ]

Prolimatech just recently announced yet another new revision of their award winning Megahalems heatsink. Known simply as the Super Mega, this new version looks very much the same for the most part, yet weighs almost 20% more thanks to the inclusion of come copper fins. The new fins are designed to try and improve performance further and this is something we will be looking at when testing the Super Mega...

Already it has been 18 months since we were first impressed by the Prolimatech Megahalems as it brushed aside the competition. It is amazing to think in that time Prolimatech was born and has already become a household name amongst overclockers. Roughly 6 months after the release of the Megahalems, Prolimatech attempted to excite the market once again with a new product.

Known as the Mega Shadow their second attempt at wooing the enthusiast crowd was a lot less exciting as this new product cost over 30% more and provided no extra performance. That said, the Mega Shadow did look very cool with the shadow chrome paint job. Prolimatech did take some time out from producing rehashed Megahalems designs when they released the impressive looking Armageddon heatsink, which supported dual 140mm fans.

So from the company with the obscure name we were brought the exotic sounding Megahalems and then the not so creative Mega Shadow followed by the sinister sounding Armageddon, which leaves the obvious choice for their next product “Super Mega” of course. With the Mega Shadow already discontinued, Prolimatech look to be filling the $80 price bracket once again, this time with the Super Mega.

As we mentioned earlier, the original Megahalems heatsink was released some 18 months ago now and despite that it is still going strong. For the asking price of $60 US there are few air-cooled heatsinks that provide the same level of performance and value as the Megahalems. That being the case, we wonder just how much better the Super Mega is going to be, keeping in mind it is said to cost $20 US more.

I have the Megahalems and its the bomb. This looks awesome. I would really like to own one but cannot see me bothering just for the looks, found the same thing when they released the Mega Shadow. Still thanks for the review I loved the pictures.
