Zalman Showcase Massive P4 Heatsink
Kez writes "I couldn't express the size of this heatsink in the space provided for the subject of this post. It's the size of a small country and when the fan is running, turbulence from it means a no-fly zone needs to enforced above it. At Hexus.net we've got a picture of this behemoth."
It wasn't too bad until they mentioned daisy-chaining five power supples together.

It doesn't matter how big it is, I want to know how many Han Solos it can freeze per minute.
The world must know.

Well, since this is slashdot, even though the site won't load for me and I haven't seen the heatsink, let me just say: HOLY CRAP THAT'S HUGE!
Slashdot: News for nerds. Stuff tha-- MICRO$OFT IS THE DEVIL!!1
The shit just hit the fan.
Sorry for the language, I just could not resist.
No sig for now.
Is this news? Or is this some kid trying to stress test / plug his crap website? Dear Kez: you got slashdotted in 20 seconds flat. Your website sucks.
No less than 30 seconds after being posted, and subsequent slashdotting, no fewer than eighteen posts immediately use the same stale joke as me about how they could use that heatsink.
We are a collectively sad bunch of nerds.
C'mon dude, it's been said time and time again that size doesn't matt....GOOD GOD! IT'S HUGE!
Grilled cheese sandwich.
mmmm...
You can't talk about Wikipedia's flaws on Wikipedia
I think their web server just over heated....
" Hey man! The MirrorDot page you are looking for is not here."
maybe we need a mirror for mirrordot?
No unauthorized use. Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.
Volume expressed in Volkswagons would have been acceptable.
There is no reasonable defense against an idiot with an agenda

Think hotrod! You've seen those cars with the hole cut in the hood for the blower to stick out. Same deal. Paint some racing stripes on the case and you're the man...

meanwhile intel is trying to replace kitchen appliances like ovens, and toasters, with insanely hot processors.
Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is what they are doing, it finally starts making sense now.
I can just picture it, 5 years from now..
Buy the new and improved Intel toaster with the new P8 CPU. The most powerfull CPU you'll find in a toaster for the fastest and best toasting..
and the UK
Congratulations on your +5. Amazing none of the mods picked up on that.
Cannot connect to the SERVER at this time for the following reason - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
This is probably because the server is subject to high demand at the current time. Please try again in a minute or two

1400 watts? I stopped to ask myself if they were heating the CPU, or cooling it.
Although the metre is an SI unit, m^3 per minute is not considered "proper" becasue SECONDS is the standard base of measurement for time for all SI engineering units. If one second is not a reasonable amount of time for the application then it is prefixed like any other SI unit (microseconds, milliseconds, kiloseconds....). Stuff like "kilometres per hour" is commonly used metric but scientists wouldn't use that for the same reason--for them velocity is always metres per second.
/.!), the biggest heat sink that'll fit inside and six fans to coll that screamin' $80 mobo and Celeron CPU. Good thing that mobo has built in audio, video and LAN becasue the slots are blocked by all the other gear...
However you measure it though a "15 centimetre" fan that draws 1500 watts of power to cool a CPU is just stupid. Not sure if it is a slow news week for nerds but it seems the stories are getting silly (still a good laugh though). This CPU cooler would be good for the guy who buys that dumb "type R" PSU that was featured earlier. It seems the PC-modder crowd is seeing more and more "rice boxes" out there.
I can picture it now..."cool" nerd going a LAN party, driving a brightly painted Civic with that screaming 115HP motor, windows tinted almost opaque with 18" wheels on a goofy camber due to the chopped springs/hack lowering job and glowing neon and red "R" stickers all over the place.
In the passenger seat sits his 'leet gamer PC (the trunk is full of amps and speakers). It is an amazing construction of aluminum, plexiglass, neon and silver and gold Tremclad housing a type R power supply (as advertised on
Just a word of advice...if you "pimp your ride", then "pimp your PC" to match your ride, it is time to seek therapy.
