AnandTech has taken a look at the ZEROtherm Nirvana processor cooler:
The new ZEROtherm Nirvana does not look like a butterfly, but the influence of the original butterfly-shaped BTF90 is clearly there in the cooling fin design.

The performance of the cooler is very good but with the fan at max speed it's very loud so users of this cooler might want to dial back the fan a bit to reduce the noise to more bearable levels.
