Strange SilverStone CPU Cooler Spotted at Computex 2012

Coolers come in various forms, but SilverStone decided to go even further outside the norm than usual when it created the SST-NT01 Pro.

We aren't sure what CPUs or APUs the product is supposed to be compatible with. The report didn't say. We suspect that both Intel and AMD chips are supported, as is the case with the Gamer Black Edition, but that's just a guess. Anyway, the NT01 is strange among its kin because the aluminum fin stack is held in a strange place by the six 6mm nickel-plated copper heatpipes. That is, beside the base plate rather than above it.

Speaking of which, the fin stack is rectangular and bears two fans, each of 80 mm in diameter. No pricing and availability details were provided, unfortunately, for the SilverStone SST-NT01 Pro.
