AMD Athlon 64 heatsink roundup
 

Piotke bought a new A64 setup, no better way to break in the system then by doing a heatsink comparison! :)

well, that rocks, haven't had time to check out any a64 coolers yet, now I have knowledge...
could you not test the slk948u with a standard 92mm fan ? that's what most people would put on it...

... if you need one, I can drop by with my papst 92mm tomorrow

Aha, perfect, I have a loud 92 mm nidec fan...

JMke wil be also dropping by this week, I think, if that's easier :)

Has to be an 8, not ?
Nice review btw. , but why haven't you tested the boxed cooler w/ the Shin Etsu, just to see how good the boxed paste is.

(I know, I'm not a perfectionist, I'm just stupid :grum: :grin: )

Idd, has to be an 8, edited, thanx.

To be honest, I used the heatink for a quick test, and then cleaned it. A bit later I read that it was shin etsu, too late :)

max stable overclock says 2320mhz with waterchill @ 7v twice

is this correct?

should be 12V, edited, thanks.

but makes no difference in overclock. only in a very cold room 3° overclock becomes a littje higher 2340 Mhz, cpu @ 8 ° :)

did you use the diode or socket temperature?

Asus probe temperature :)
