hmm, i was hoping they were godly HeatstinksI believe the TRUE copper's only make a few degrees difference, and aren't really worth it for the price or the weight.
The TRUE 120 (lapped) used to be king, but theres plenty of other contenders these days, much cheaper, too.
Coolermaster V8 is a very good HS - about equal to a TRUE. TRUE is just different because there's no fan included, so there performance varies quite a bit. TRUE's are great but can arrive non-flat. V8's are good, but are a bit of a PITA to mount. There are a few other good ones out there too. The top five are probably within 1-1.5c of each other..
yes, I do.. Keep in mind that the fan in the V8 can be swapped out with a better fan. The stock fan is good, but there are better ones. Most people buying TRUE's are adding a $15 fan, or two, to the HS.
