I like the raised fins heatsink they put on the base plate under the tower part. (The part on top of the CPU) I wonder how much that helps.
If they rotated them by 90°, fins would be more efficient. So, it is probably just for the show.

There's better options on that price point.

@Fox2232 the small area from the fan that extends over the reg heatsink should produce some airflow. and besides that, a heatsink is still a heatsink. might not the be the best possible way, but its still gonna transfer some heat.

Hmm, they say that there is "high-precision polishing of the copper base", but in the pics it doesn't look very well polished, it's not a mirror finish, you can see the groves in it.

"Did we mention nickel plating, and high-precision polishing of the copper base as well" Seems both are missing in action, so not a good start so far

Yes, true, unless they mean that the rest of the cooler is nickel plated, but either way they've missed out at least on one or both things they said there.
