To combat this cooler, we pitted our OCZ
Gladiator to this unit, another copper heatsink. We didn't
want to compare it to an aluminum unit due to the fact copper
dissipates heat a lot better from what we have seen. Giving it
a slight advantage, material wise to other units.
Note: We have since changed our temperature
measuring from using the onboard sensor on the motherboard, to using
the CompuNurse,
an external temperature probe. This probe is situated
right next to the CPU slug, so it provides the most precise
temperature reading as possible.
For our test, we will be installing this unit into
our old faithful test rig:
- IWill KK266 AMD TB/Duron Motherboard
- AMD TBird 800Mhz
- Crucial PC133 128mb Ram
The test will consist of an idle temperature check
and a full load temperature check. The full load will be
accomplished by using the RC5
program and running 3DMark
2001 for 30 minutes. The fan was situated blowing into the
heatsink, which is suggested by our provider.

Whoa...I am truly impressed with this unit!
ThermalRight, a new company that kind of came out of no where (from
what I gather) produced a truly efficient unit! This unit is
going to become our heatsink that will be remain in our system for
the time being!
Thanks again to the fine folks at Heatsink
Factory for providing us with this great unit. Go get some
stuff at the Factory!
Pros:
- All Copper!
- Easy to use fan clip
- Performs great in the price range
Cons:
