    OCZ Gladiator or Swiftech MC370-0A or somthing else

    << I agree, the Thermalright SK-6 outperforms its competition with the delta fan. Review >> Seriously I don't trust any hsf reviews using mobo thermistors. And the above review says the SK-6 is better than the Gladiator by 7 degrees Celsius? That's is very hard to believe.

    Swifttech MC462A or GLACIATOR?

    << MGTasco, Overclockers.com testing is not as accurate as most people think, nor is it as accurate as they think. NOt only do they call their temp measurement CPU temp and even call it a true core reading, when it clearly is not. What it really is a heatsink-junction C/W. And it is severely...

    Swifttech MC462A or GLACIATOR?

    << Actually, even the best clips, like the Taisol's will still be vulnerable to this. A single clip pressing down on a small area in the middle of the heatsink will never completely avoid this problem, it will just be less of an issue with a good clip. The four spring-loaded screw mounting...

    Swifttech MC462A or GLACIATOR?

    << Who sells the Silverado? I know it's a great HSF, but I can't find a single vendor.... >> You can check it out here : https://secure.webstrikesolutions.com/chillblast/docs/start.htm You have to buy it from UK though....not really a big deal considering I bought it all the way from Singapore.

    OCZ Gladiator or Swiftech MC370-0A or somthing else

    << if i had the choice i'd pick up the gladiator...oh wait, i am, hehe, in about a week >> The answer is simple.....from my own test with a digital thermometer and thermocouple attahced to the core, the gladiator yields a thermal efficiency of 0.21 C/W and the MC370 yields 0.27 C/W. Both are...

    Swifttech MC462A or GLACIATOR?

    << I don't trust Overclocker's.com review of the GLACIATOR. I would buy the MC462A cause of its mounting setup too. 780 grams on ur socketclips is scary. Its already proven itself to me. >> Overclockers.com method of testing heatsinks is one of the most accurate I have seen. In my own test...
