Question about a Heatsink?


COMPUSA: Copper Pro Gamer Fan
SKU: 288623
F.S.-JTC

Actual Product

Actually Looks Like This, But Copper

That's about all the information I know about it. It came with a chinchy fan, which I replaced with a kickass Vantec. It is solid copper, its pretty decent (I get cooler temps but I can't clock as high). However, it does have pretty bad manufacturing marks on the base which needs to be lapped pretty badly (will be doing this tomorrow). I was just wondering what its equivalent is as far as name brand goes (considering it is a CompUSA, it was more than likely a repackaged part). ...from what I can tell, it kind of looks like the X-Dream?

That looks like a GlobalWin, but I am not completely sure. It is probably close to any microfin copper heatsink out there.

Thank You,
Daniel

Which is better, correct? No loss of heat transfer via solder?
