Enermax lists many features for these products as being unique:

– Patented VGF (Vortex generator flow) technology to greatly increase air convection.
– Patented SEF (Stack Effect) design to enhance heat transfer.
– Unique air path creating high VEF (Vacuum Effect) to optimize the airflow.
– Patented HDT (Heat Pipe Direct Touch) Technology to ensure rapid thermal conduction and eliminate CPU hotspot.

The cooler fan boasts maximum noise levels of 21db providing a staggering 75CFM of airflow There are three different models available:

• ETS-T40-VD MSRP $49.99
• ETS-T40-TA MSRP $49.99
• ETS-T40-TB MSRP $39.99

Both coolers feature digital connections, like Antec’s, that make them compatible with Corsair’s monitoring and control system, called ‘Link’. Even if not connected to Corsair Link, the H80 and H100 have digital speed controls, which can vary betwen quiet, balanced and performance profiles.

The cooling unit or block itself features a low-profile, light-weight cooling unit with a micro-channel copper cold plate and a split flow manifold for superior cooling. If you can translate that then let us know!

They Hydro Series H80 will retail for ~$80 and the H100 will cost ~$120, however it seems that these models will be priced higher in the UK as the H70 is priced at £70.

Havik 140 is a dual fan radiator CPU cooler similar to many on the market such as the Noctua NH-D14, similar spec to the Noctua NH-D14 with a pair of 140mm fans, 6 heat pipe design, but the NZXT seems to defeat the NH-D14 when CFM rates are compared, the NH-D14 come in at 65 whilst the Havik 140 boasts a impressive 90CFM although at a slightly nosier 25/db. The Havik 140 seems to be more of a small form factor cooler just coming in at 6.5” although weighing 2.2lb. The Havik 140 is priced at $74.99

Based on a Jenway pump which has a flow rate of 400 L/hr, the new cooler has a unique feature which is their new copper mesh base for increased efficiency.

Also Cooler master have revealed a new air cooler named Project S600 that features a honeycomb fin design as well as 6 heatpipes for better heat dissipation.
