After letting our
heatsink do battle with our TB 800Mhz, here are the results.
We pitted it against another affordable cooler, the Global Win
FKP32. Our testing included running our chip at stock 800Mhz
(8*100) speed. Recording the idle temperature and also the
full load temperature. The full load temperature was achieved
by running Distributed.net's
RC5 Client and also running 3DMark
2001. After completing the stock speed test, we recorded
the temperatures of the Tbird while it was overclocked.

From the numbers, the Monster 3
dissipates enough heat to produce some good temperatures. The
heatsink was slightly warm to the touch but nothing that will burn
your fingers. Overall, the OCZ Monster 3 kept this chip cooled
at stock and at overclocked speeds. Compared to the all copper
Gladiator, this cooler dissipates heat just slightly lower.
In comparison with the price and
performance, this would be a better bargain for the budget user.
Then again, why not spend a little bit more and get the all copper
goodness : )
