Sharkoon Red Shock:Supplied by:
SharkoonSharkoon has been expanding their product line up for quite some time know, they made a good impression on me with tower AXP heatsink back in
2004. Today it’s different design they send me, a fully copper, rather compact heatsink which does not come with its own fan, but allows you to mount 80/92/120mm of your choice. Its price point is set near
€45-50.
On the
product page at the Sharkoon website this is what they have to say about the Red Shock:
Another new feature is the innovative fanning module, which optionally allows the mounting of an 80 mm, 92 mm or 120 mm fan. Therefore this cooler qualifies for an extremely silent CPU cooling as well as for an enormously powerful CPU cooling.
Let’s find out if it ready for silent computing.

The construction of this heatsink is very similar to the well know Thermalright SP-94. A series of fine copper fins, and 4 heat pipes which run through them and are joined in the base.
The underside reveals holes which are used for attaching the different mounting brackets.
The base is quite smooth, with visible machine lapping threads.
