@ 2007/12/18Today, Icrontic has released our very own EPIC Socket 775/AM2 Heatsink Roundup; the first of our EPIC reviews, and a showcase story for our redesigned front page. Our main man Mike D threw six performers from Scythe, Coolink, Tuniq and Thermalright on the test rigs and flogged them soundly to see which ones are worthy of your hard-earned green.
"At first, I was not sure if I wanted to complicate the review with both socket 775 and AM2 results but in the end I am very glad that I did. I really could not believe the performance delta that some of these heatsinks exhibited across the two platforms. It really pays to look around for reviews using your socket. It is not safe to assume that a heatsink will perform as well on AM2 as it does on 775. The results may surprise you."
