Just wanted to check that Thermalright is still the best option. Right now I have an Aerocool DP102 heatsink and I might be upgrading soon.
Thanks y'all.

Thermalright SLK-947U/948U, and the rements of the SP-97 Heatsink, SLK-900A, and the ALX 800 all good options in the thermalright camp, provided you have motherboard holes for the 947/948 and SP-97

Soon the SI-90 should be out (guessing that because its listed on their site.) That will probably perform great. It looks like a XP-90, except missing the fins conntecting the base to the upper fin area.

my SLK-900A works great
It's even better to me because I only payed $20 for it

Blazin Trav....
Keep in mind that no HSF unit operates in a vacuum...the (reputed) king-of-the-hill Thermalright will perform poorly in a case with bad airflow/exhaust problems and the (widely reviled) stock AMD sink can work quite well in an optimised environment.
Each sink, especially those of unusual design ( the DP-102 and the Zalman 7000cu spring to mind) will need special attention to achieve their best performance...perhaps you don't need to upgrade your HSF as much as change the supporting elements in your case.

shuRe said:hyper 6 from coolermaster beats all thermalright by about 3 degrees, if u got the guts to hang a 1.1kg hs from ur mobo
Where did you find these results? I'm curious because I'm looking for a Socket A heatsink myself, and havn't found a single review where the hyper6 beats the top of the line thermalright sinks by 3 degrees.

The hyper 6 does not fit socket A boards . ( From the reviews I've read it's not all that anyway ) .
If you don't mind throwing a lot of air , the list in the link below is some of the best for sock A ...
Good Luck .

The SI-97 looks interesting. I love my SP-97 and wish I could buy another one. I've also had a SLK947 with was only a notch behind the SP-97 in performance in my experience.
