AMD XP Aircooling - Heatsink Roundup Q3 2004

Cooling/CPU Cooling by jmke @ 2004-08-21

So here we are with yet again an AMD Socket A roundup. Last time in December 2003 we saw that the field was dominated by the Thermalright SP-97 heatsink which sports heat pipe technology. Nowadays a lot of manufactures have caught up and we have a wide variety of heatsinks available which are based upon the successful heat pipe tech. Let?s find out if they can beat our Golden Oldie

Aerocool Heat Piped HSF

Provided by: Aerocool

Aerocool HT-101

This heatsink uses heat pipe technology just like the SP-97, 3 separate pipes create a U form and are joined at the base, in between the pipes are copper plates to help transfer and dissipate the heat.

A plastic fan cage is placed over the copper structure and features mounting holes on both sides for 70 & 80mm fans.

The base is very smooth and does not require lapping

Aerocool DP-102

Featuring a large heat pipe in the middle and fan mounting possibilities at both sides make this heatsink into a very modular creation. Two 60,70 or 80mm fans can be attached and their orientation changed by pivoting the fan holder and bolting it down through the copper fins.

The heat pipe and fins are made out of copper and the base is smooth but shows some small scratches.
