Want to cool that Pentium 4 CPU to the max? We tell you which heatsink is best suited when it comes to aircooling!

haven't finished reading yet, but
"Their most recent addition to the family is the SP-94, aimed at the extreme air-cooling fanatics out there, sporting 2 heat pipes that increase their efficiency as the CPU heat output goes upwards."

2 heat pipes? i'm counting 3, or am i missing something?

I never passed my math exams.. sorry, fixed now :)

As long as you remember that a zalman at high makes a tenth of the noise of a tornado fan.
The CNPS 7000-a still gets my marker.

As always, the comparison to the intel stock heatsink is missing :(

that is probably sth we should include :)

I'll see what I can do, as soon as my test-rig is back up and running I'll put the standard intel cooler on.. don't be surprised if we see temps way over 50°C.

Nice article but with all heat sink reviews some do compare it to the Intel stock heat sink and some don’t. I have 2 x P4, room temp 23 c

Unit 1 is a 2.66 GHz std Intel heat sink case temp 32c load 38c idle 25c.

Unit 2 is 3 GHz case temp 34c load temp 60 c idle temp 48c it has lintels high performance heat sink (copper base and aluminum fins ) with fresh air duct connected with out the air duct load temp was 66 to deg C my north bridge temp is 59 c MB is MSI 865 neo2.

Unit 1 is a very quiet machine unit 2 u can hear the stock fan screaming from 15 meters away before the air duct was installed I don’t have any case fans installed all I have done is swapped my side panels around so the vent are at the top.

Nice idea, but it's almost impossible to compare to "the" intel stock cooler. I've had 4 stock coolers so far, and although they were (almost) alsways for the same model, the heatsink was completely different (2 with good heatsink and silent fan, 2 with crappy heatsink and strong fan).

Spotted the SP-94 in .BE for €66 !
