I mean it seems a bit excessive; looks sweet though.
Thoughts?

Dunno, but it weighs over 4 pounds not including the optional two 120mm fans you can hook up on it.
It also mentioned something about a supposedly "new" thermal paste called "Chill Factor 2." Anyone ever heard of it?

it doesn't outperform the current true by much, and WILL warp your motherboard, if it isn't mounted horizontally

Figured, I looked at it and the first thing I noticed was the weight.. 1900g I mean seriously..W T F

It'd be worth it only for bragging rights. And if you really want to use it, you better rig up some support device so it doesn't break the motherboard.

I think I might just get this instead, http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/thulexbled.html
Theres another version but it doesn't include the bolt-thru-board bracket, and with it being 790g without a fan, I think I'd like to have bolts rather than a clip..Plus its only another 10 dollars

+1 The True Copper is a beast but is not worth it for the few extra degrees cooler that it would be.

a pair of yate loons(if you get the true black, it comes with enough fan clips for 2 fans) just remember, its one fan on each side(i assume you figured that out 
) oh, if you don't like 33 dba, there is a yate on that page that's around 25dba

Another question. Should I get a new backplate?
Thermalright suggests having a metal backplate according to this (found under the Compatibility section):
http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_p...r_tb120.html?art=MTQyMywxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==
and by the pictures I found on newegg (because I didn't want to remove my whole motherboard to find out) it looks like I only have a plastic backplate. So should I invest in getting it?

My Thermalright came with a steel backplate. I am pretty sure most heatsinks nowadays do.

What do you expect from a pure copper heatsink...that is the reason why they use aluminum vs copper.
The price + how much it cools really isn't that great of a bargain over the current products @ 30-50 bucks. Really disappointing. I expect pure copper to do a better job.
