Does the SLK9000 really outperform the Alpha8050?
I been using the Alpha8942 or 8050 extensively for both my AMD and P4 boards. I hear the SLK is the best heatsink out there. I just can't see how anything can outperform the humongous Alphas. They use a copper core to quickly draw heat away from the CPU, then use forged aluminum fins, with flat black matte finish, to give off heat quickly. They use 80 mm fans. I run them sucking to draw hot air away from the board. How can it get better than this?
The SLK is all copper and supposedly copper does not give up heat as well as aluminum. Plus you are blowing hot air onto the motherboard.
Can anyone confirm by temperature testing (links?) that the SKU outperforms the Alphas?
