Thermaltake K450 (CL-P0075) AMD Athlon 64 Heatpipe Cooler

@ 2005/04/20
The first time I heard about the Thermaltake K450 heatsink was when I started my search for a CPU cooler for my Athlon 64 FX 55 in my SLI system. The problem I had was that the heatsink that was sent to me for my FX 55 was not meant for that CPU. I found this out by seeing my FX 55 temperatures soar to 70C when running Folding@Home. I knew this was way too high and headed to AMD's sight to find approved heatsinks. At that time, the only approved heatsink was the K450.

This low profile traditional look HSF seems to be pretty capable from two reviews.
