INTRODUCTION
You probably have never heard of Prolimatech. It is an up and coming manufacturer founded in 2008. The company is based in Taiwan with a team of people who are specialized in designing “aerospace resource-saving technology and advanced heat conducting technology.” Their products include CPU cooler, VGA cooler, RAM cooler, and thermal compound.
Their first CPU cooler called the Megahalems is a tower style cooler aimed at computer enthusiasts like you and me. The name Megahalems rhymes with Intel latest processor's codename, Nahalem. I am not sure if this was done intentionally or is just coincidence as the cooler is designed to work with LGA 1366 as well as older LGA 775 processors.

With Core i7 being such an easy overclocker, it is really simple to overclock a $266 Core i7 920 to the speed of the $1000 Core i7 975 running at 3.33 GHz. If you pair it with a good cooler, it can achieve some good results of 4.0GHz or higher. So, can the new kids in the block take the other established leaders in the computer cooling industry? Can it be the ideal cooler to take you to that magical clockspeed? Let us find out.
