A nickel plated version of Zalman's top cooler.
The cooler uses the same 120mm PWM fan as the copper based twin and the recommended retail price is $75 or 65eur.
There are no reviews yet but the nickel plating will decrease it's cooling ability slightly. It provides protection from oxidation, something that will plague the copper twin - it will look uglier and will start to perform worse as oxidation builds up. Convenient cleaning with proper cleaning solutions is recommended from time to time on copper, whereas here is not essential. I once put a CNPS-7700 on cleaning liquid and it practically cleaned itself - the copper oxidation started boiling and cleaned dust with it - and resulted in a 10ºC drop in load temperature.
