Design and Functionality

I believe the cooler is extremely beautiful:

The massive heatsink of Nirvana NV120 Premium cooler consists of 41 aluminum plates, each about 0.3mm thick. The plates painted with dark-gray glossy paint sit on four copper heatpipes, each 6mm in diameter. The whole heatsink array measures 128 x 95 x 150mm and is cooled with a 120 x 25mm fan:

One of the peculiarities of this top of the line cooling solution from ZEROtherm is non-linear positioning of the heatsink plates in the middle of the array that the manufacturer refers to as “honeycomb structure”.

According to APACK ZEROtherm engineers, these intersecting plates increase the airflow turbulence and thus improve the cooling efficiency.
