We take a look at Thermalright's budget heatsink, the ALX-800 is compared the their top of the line Socket A cooler, does their little one stand a chance?

HOW WILL IT FIT ON MOTHERBOARDS WITH TRANSISTORS CLOSE TO THE SOCKET?

HMM ALL THE OTHER MSI 6570 BORADS ARE MENTIONED BUT NOT MINE (DELTA ILSR) BUT THE LAYOUT AROUND THE CPU SOCKET SHOULD BE THE SAME?RIGHT?

With a good case design in ventilation the SLK-800 or this ALX-800 with less weight is an ideal solution.

Like the AVC 117140 & JMC Phoenix designed three years ago for P4, this heatsink design despite a few years old remains one of the best.

They could change clothings and put in new packagings; a good heatsink is one that allows for transportation; ease of installation; easy on the hearing; better than the Free Retail Pack.

I got yesterday two of these little babies home (got them for a special price, less then 50€ shipping included for both

).

It's true that finishing isn't it's strongest point, but it's still one hell of a heatsink. Now I need to buy the fans which go with it

Btw, on of the fins has a problem, it's stuck against another fin, closing a gap, fortunately, it's on the end of the heatsink...

You guys are really paying a lot more than us. I paid $18 +$5 shipping.

5th August 2004, 03:14

Yup, I know, and I'm glad cos it's a bargain for me

Well, I paid 46€ for 2, while you would have paid 46$... Difference has to be checked with currency... But it won't be too much (I hope :wtf: )

Oh, my mistake; I didn't read the price was for two units.

And, yes, it performs damn well. I'd say the best price to performance ratio. It's the same performance comparing to SLK-800 based on my experience.
