I would have thought that COOLERMASTER might have done something a little more "with it", but no.

2/3 down this page

They've even gone as far as including a low speed fan on the waterblock "for more security". Great for instilling a sense of confindence in the customer.

we don't have enough confidence in the reliability of our product, so we'll stick a fan on top and hope no-one notices.

Yup they are coming out of the woodwork.

And there will shortly thereafter be testing done with in socket thermistors and other unreliable temp methods coupled with extremely overestimated CPU "watts" that shows this crap to all perform within 5-10% of the big boys. Have you ever looked at the "C/W" values at thermaltake? I usually get about double theirs, and I am using a CPU as a heat source still...
