Because he wanted quiet and said he won't be overclocking. Also full 100% load is not the same as real world use. Nothing stresses a computer as much. I do agree with you though, in which case the megahalem is still an amazing heatsink
Nothing stresses my CPU to 100% except stress-testing, though. If he is not OCing, he could aswell get away with 212EVO without fans. Megahalems IS very good cooler, even more it is in top line of heatsinks but still not as good as waterloop.
Under cover of secrecy, I am either getting myself Magehalems, too, or just build custom loop. I like halems because it looks good and does very decent job for the money. What I don't like about it is that I will spend much money on cooling with that and fans and still be on air. Might as well spend a little more and put everything under water.
