Conclusion:
When looking for a heatsink or cooler there are a few
things you want to look for. Normally look for one which is
copper or copper/aluminum combination, but this will
increase the cost. This heatsink is all aluminum
except for the heatpipes and base which is nickel plated
copper. It also
utilizes 8 towering heatpipes and countless fins. This more
than makes up for it not being all copper, although if it were
all copper the performance would probably be even better. That
being said, the performance of this heatsink is excellent
and that's what counts. It's very impressive that a passive
heatsink can keep a fast Socket T (775) cool because they
get really hot. Speaking of hot, what about using this
heatsink for overclocking. I would only suggest using it if
you can implement the 120mm Fan Duct in your case. Adding
this duct tremendously increases cooling performance at
maximum load.
Pros:
- Excellent performance
- Fan Duct for added performance
- Heatpipes galore
- Installation is a snap
- Looks great
Cons:
- Pricy
- Not all copper
- No fan clips
- Will not fit some cases
- Only fits the Socket T (HR-01-775)
