interesting heat sink would you not agree? [Archive]

wonder what the surface area would be on it? 64X68X45mm with the 2mm
holes

another one they are very pretty looking wounder how they would perform?

where did you see that hs, I'm intrested in how well it performs too.

alpha they are designing interesting heat sinks nowadays.

very interesting :)

whoa they are going for a 462 passive cooling! is that possible?

wow, that should about double the surface area.

Not really, unless they're cooling a duron 600 or somthin like that.

Wow, now that is surface area! Imagine drilling small holes in the bottom of each "pillar" in the first piture, to get air to flow both around and THROUGH the pipe thingies. that would give it alot of surface area. and the other ones just look wicked :)

Very interesting looking HSFs indeed. I wish someone would do a review... *wink wink* :)

they had another one there that had a 60X60 mm base with 710 pin count on the sink each pin 1.4 mm diameter

Yep I would agree.. very interesting.

I like these two a lot...

One with a heat pipe in the base:

Think of the possibility..water cooled/HSF combo:

they are pretty but where are the reviews?

i think this is pretty neat for a water block.

Yeah very pretty but an all aluminum construction, even the new alu swifttech MCX 370 can't match the best copper sinks. I would bet *alot* of money they perform no better than average.

Yes, very interesting....I would also be interested in how they perform.....

have to have copper to be a happy camper huh...[img="http://www.micforg.co.jp/images/al_cu.jpg"]

Wow in copper, NICE! after testing I might have to trade in my glaciator! We shall see!

I would like to see a all copper pep66 that would be sweet

asmodean

07-13-01, 02:56 PM

I like PEP66 too... I just wish they'd upgrade the shroud also for socket mobos.

cool looking HSFs...i must agree...but pictures cannot tell you performance...how much do the copper HSFs weigh?? pictures cannot tell you these things

well as long as where looking at cool new stuff here

The pocofoam I believe was turned into a waterblock and tested on Spodesabode website a while back if im not mistaken

I sent Alpha an email asking if I could get two of those to test and review. (No, I didn't say I was from Overclockers.com, told them I'm on my own.) And I got an answer within the hour.

They tested the spiral heatsink against the aluminum spiral and there was a slight increase in thermal transfer, but because of weight and the cost of copper, and the short tool life (copper dulls the machines faster than aluminum) they aren't going to mass produce these copper spirals.

I would take the "we're not going to mass produce these" as a polite "Get Bent" wouldn't you?

Supply and demand. I demand they supply! I to would love a copper Pep66. The alu Pep66 is still a great heatsink especially with the new socketa clip.

WOW oh WOw!

I think the ones with the spiral fin configuration would do well as it'll permit better (ie. less obstructed) airflow from the fans. But looking at the SHEER density of fins on one of those blocks, I think one would need a really decent fan (Deltas as standard?), and not to mention the susceptibility for collecting dust. Any SK6 or Gladiator owners with dust problems?
