ccokeman Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Thisis the king of the hill now for P-4 cooling. I have the sp-94 and this will beat it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RimX Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 I thought copper made a better heatsink than aluminum did?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 thats copper, nickel plated though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 And i know for a fact that heat pipes are better than chunky copper alone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RimX Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 (edited) oh...so do you guys really recommend it?? I dont wanna spend money on a heatsink and find i could have gotten one much better...dont take it that I think you are lying, i'm just asking if there are any ones you would recommend better Edited December 2, 2004 by RimX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 check Mobo compatibility, that thing is a hrd fit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 (edited) oh...so do you guys really recommend it?? I bought a SI-97 and i'm still amazed at the MBM readings every time i start my rig compared to the ones i had with a 1 pounder copper HS, that thermalright line is really something EDIT : this is what i had before and managed a 9 Edited December 2, 2004 by kobalt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuanji Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 XP-90 and XP-120 seem to be the newer models. XP-120, while being a hard fit, can handle the higher power fans with less noise as it is a 120mm heatsink. if not, the XP-90 is also good.

slayer2cool Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 (edited) lol he cant use the SI-97 cos its only for Socket A.. I thought copper made a better heatsink than aluminum did?? yes they do but copper is also heavier..sooo basically you can make a really big surface area heat sink using aluminium and yet be lighter than their copper counterparts..but those XP-90, SI-97 and XP-120, they are not entirely aluminium..their base are still copper with nickel plated best heat sink money can buy is either the Xp-120 or Xp-90 for you..if you cant use XP-120 due to mobo compatibility, then the xp-90 would do you good or if you really want to stick to good old copper..get the MCX-478V hehehe 1/2 inch thick copper base Edited December 2, 2004 by slayer2cool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
