DeepCool IceBlade Pro V2.0 Heatsink Review @ Frostytech

Hey look here, its a CM Hyper 212 with better mounting hardware!

Deepcool's IceBlade Pro V2.0 heatsink stands 161mm tall and weighs a solid 981 grams. At the heart of this boxy heatsink are four 8mm diameter copper heatpipes, nickel plated along with everything else, including the aluminum fins. The heatpipes are exposed at the base to make direct contact with the processor and ideally, reduce thermal joint resistance.

Not a direct 1:1 to the Hyper 212 I reviewed but it looks "very" similar when it comes to the basic feature set.  The cooler I linked to is the Plus edition they released with core contact heatpipes.  There was considerable space between the pipes and massive gaps that would suck up your thermal paste.

The cooler was ok but I hated the mounting hardware, (and still do).
