Xigmatek Thor's Hammer heatpipe cooler

If you have been paying attention to the supercooler battle, you know Xigmatek is one of the latest and greatest in town. After the introduction of the innovative HDT-S1283, they released a couple of follow ups, like the Red Scorpion. They are mostly based on the successful Heatpipe Direct Touch design, which allows for direct contact of the coolers heatpipes and the processor.

Xigmatek has leaked some images of the upcoming "Thor's Hammer" supercooler, which should be pitted against the latest and greatest from Thermalright.

The cooler has seven heatpipes and is fully metal-plated in a dark color - a must for the modding community.
The fin design itself seems very good, but sometimes these coolers don't come as good as planned. I'm waiting for benchmarks and retail availability, but this thing certainly looks capable of delivering.

As for sockets, it supports almost everything: 754, 939, AM2(+), 775, 1366.
