Cheapest crap heatsink ever!!

[Jugernot]

This has got to be the cheapest (quality and performance wise) heatsink design I've just about ever seen. Just a slab of aluminum for a Slot 1 Celeron:

Cheap heatsink

Anyone seen any worse?

Compaq uses those heat sinks in some of their machines, I opened one at work, boy was I surpriced. Still, it's quiet

 

[Poof]

I can imagine any un-rounded cables getting impaled on that sucker! :Q

Hey! It's a minature lightning rod for those "accidental" static discharges or arcing PS's!

I've got two of those in an old 250watt AT powersupply. They shock you when you touch them

 

[mechBgon]

That is just WRONG! :Q

A friend of mine found a Cel300 at work that had lost its heatsink altogether (got unclipped and fell off, I guess) and had apparently managed to function in that condition for months. Wow!

[Darth Vader voice] Impressive...![/Darth Vader voice]

Yep our compaq PIII's here at work use that very same heatsink, it seems to work without any airflow. Apparently for Compaq, it seems to work quite well.

OMG!!! that is a freakin ugly a$$ HS!!!

Last time I saw them they were on the prison wall... hehehehe

They will keep the birds off ROFLMOL

 

[Bignate603]

hmm, lightning rod for the old power supply... I actually shot sparks out of a molex connector once...

 

[Cooltech2k]

Nice................

 

[Jhhnn]

Laugh if you want, but I bet it works just fine on the low-end oem systems it was designed for, and that it is extremely cost-effective. Save $1 each on half a million units, keep the difference. Ka-Ching!

I like it more than some of the really cool-looking expensive crap that doesn't work any better.

Should serve as a reminder that some lures are designed to catch fish, others are designed to catch fishermen.
