The Prolimatech Armageddon is an interesting product for a number of reasons. For one it is said to be a “slim” heatsink and while we guess it is to a certain degree, there is nothing compact about this high-end cooler. In fact, chances are there will be very few cases where the Armageddon provides better compatibility than the cheaper and slightly better performing Megahalems.

Nice in-depth review and you are probably right the Megahalems is a better buy for most. |

Thats an awesome looking setup and I do like the idea of quiet 14cm fans. |

Great article...as usual. Interesting to see it beat the Megahalems with a single fan. |

That was only at idle Jeff which I dont think is that important since the CPU is not really throwing any heat out. Those temps are just above room temp so its the load results that are important and with a single fan it was not great there, though it was a low speed fan. |

Obviously it needs lot of air pressure and CFM to achieve nice results. It can be very interesting with 2000 RPM 140mm fans.. |

Prolimatech were very picky about which fans we used and supplied us with the Xigmatek XLF-F1453 for testing as noted in the review. Thanks for all the feedback so far guys. |
