CPU Heatsink Round-Up - [hardware] 05:35 PM EDT - May,01 2006 - post a comment 
The chaps over at
MadShrimps have published CPU Heatsink Round-Up. There are seven heatsink
all together with Thermaltake, Spire, Aerocool, Tuniq and Scythe all having dogs
in the fight:
My conclusive thoughts haven't changed from the last roundup, if you want
a silent, yet speedy PC with enough CPU power, you'll have to invest in third
party cooling, especially when you are into overclocking; the stock
heatsinks just don't quite cut it.
There were an interesting few additions this time around, offering excellent
performance/noise ratios, easily installation and multiple platform
compatibility. Manufactures are working hard producing products which meet all
the demands from enthusiasts out there, making a silent, performing, easy to
install heatsink which fits multiple platforms and doesn't cost too much to
produce is not easy at all. The different approaches each have their advantages
and disadvantages; but it's clear that this market is far from dead or
stagnating.
