AMD Aircooling - Heatsink Roundup August 2004
 

So here we are with yet again an AMD Socket A roundup. Last time in December 2003 we saw that the field was dominated by the Thermalright SP-97 heatsink which sports heat pipe technology. Nowadays a lot of manufactures have caught up and we have a wide variety of heatsinks available which are based upon the successful heat pipe tech. Let´s find out if they can beat our Golden Oldie

"August 2003"

Typo?

woopsie! thanks :)

Good roundup :thumb: :)

where was the XP-120 :(

And what's with the 2 different SP-97 temps?

Does it perform better with the 80mm fan?

The Xp-120 is A64/P4 only.
And the SP97 seems to perform better with an 80mm fan (prolly because the 92mm doesn't move that much air as the coolink)

Hardfreak pretty much answered all the questions :)

I heard some complaints about the DP-102, being quite a risky job to install (lots of core crushing going on...)
Is this true? If yes, what could you recommend I do to avoid my core being crushed?
(Also a Barton 2500+ @ 2004mhz I might add)

That thread has been dead for over a year, and doesn't help at all anymore... :(
