what socket?
And what CPU do you have?
1. Well unless it's make starts with "Thermalright" then you dont.
2. Pentium3 chips, believe it or not, dont use SocketA and neither do all Semprons ... or Durons for that matter

NO, NO, NO... Universal silent tower. optional dual fan setup, each fan pushing up to 52 cfm, depending on temp. its got heatpipes too. $46

My socket A Thermalright SK-7 and Thermaltake SmartFan II keep my XP system cool. Fan speed of 2700RPM, which is nice and quiet, keeps my CPU under 42C full load.
All copper heatsinks are better then a copper based bottom and aluminum top, like the cheap ones seem to be.

Read my post again, i was saying anything BUT a Thermalright cant really take the crown for best heatsinksocket A 370 for P3and i forgot about the semps and durons.... but whats wrong with thermalright? i have a Thermalright SI-97 with a 110cfm 92mm fan on it.... keeps my temps under 100*F
Because i know you know yer stuff i wont drag this into a huge HSF war ... yeah, im familiar with Dynatrons ... but two things:
1. I still think T-rights are superior
2. Without fan.... your temps are lower .... i might be inclined to argue the CPU temp might be lower but not the case temp (so hence you cant really say temps) .... with a fan you can evac the case of hot air faster
Yes but you need to lapp the heatsink down ... Thermaltakes are more about bling than they are about performance ... their Tower112 is nice but a XP90c or XP120 will destroy it.
And you will note the lack of mirror finish (or really any finish of any kind) on the base ... for the record i have one on my P4-3.0E and it works wonders -- but thats only because I couldnt be hassled to special-order a Thermalright
I would guess but not sure ... whats the model on that?
Well if you lapp the base perhaps....
Agreed its nice (definitely could use some lapping on the base, running one myself, ran that before i used the XP90c)
The mix material ones fit a different purpose since AL has a larger heat capacity than Cu (yes Lorand/Yeti I know im probably using the wrong scientific term ... but the point is that Al will "take" three times more heat before becoming useless than Cu)
I think all posters should be reminded that this thread is about heatsinks -- not heatsinks+fans or anything about fans for that matter

lol i only am happy with my Dynatron cuz it was $9 at the time and whoops my $35 cooler even without a fan. i have yet to lap it, i think it's pretty flat as is jsut no mirror finish. lapping takes so long, i have a hard time doing it without a glass top anymore.
