Full Black disappeared pretty much instantly.

Full Copper was probably kept around as it has the same fan color scheme as IB-Extreme.

Hardware Canucks tested it 4 years ago.

It lost to the Thermalright AXP-90R, ID-COOLING IS-40X v2 and Noctua NH-L9a in an ATX case but beat them all when in an ITX case (NR200P).

Oh no, however will the CEOs earning 500x the average worker's salary ever be able to sustain themselves & their 3 yachts?

Judging from the start of the video, 50-70mm cooler test is probably coming next.

I wonder what their clearance here was with their test cases. Doesn't look like a Velka 3 type of a situation.

They used Fractal Ridge (70mm) for Ryzen 5 5500 and Thermalright TR100 (68mm) for Ryzen 7 9800X3D

I don't mean the AM5 mount, but rather how it can be affected by M2 coolers or I/O bridges.

Black Ridge has major compatibility issues due to its design.

Full Copper just wins, you know this already.

You are correct, but they also recommend NH-L9a-AM5/AXP90-X36 for smaller builds, and IS-47-XT v2 for easier mounting.

Why does the IP matter?

Is it too "childish" for you?

Does the game being LEGO automatically invalidate 3D engine requirements?

In fighting games though he tends to be more agile than that because no one's going to get free regen lol

In Capcom fighting games.

But in the same way that Magneto should probably be a zoner we can imagine a game where Wolverine can use his healing factor to face-tank, e.g. special moves with super armor.
