    which is the best cpu heatsink for the r2? i saw a triple pipe on ebay but it was 130 with shipping :O

    does it offer any real advantage over the dual heatpipe?

    well, if you have dual heatpipe and it doesn't throttle, why upgrade?

    You might need it if you go for extreme edition i7 and start oc'ing it
