FOP32-1 rewiew on Gaming In 3d.com

[holdencommodore]

According to their rewiew of HSF Gaming In 3d.com, they reckon that the FOP32-1 does not perform that well. That's not what I heard from the Anandtech review!!
Too bad! I bought a FOP32-1 and I can't wait to try it on my shiny new Duron 800!!

Those test are not accurate!

Check out TomsHardwares latest review on heatsinks. They like the fop just fine.

The FOP32-1 is a fine heatsink. I've never respected G3D, and I don't respect any site that continually has such a large number of typos and grammatical errors. It makes a lot more sense to believe the results from from a more reputable site.

I agree with all of you!
In this review, they don't go into detail of how they tested the HSF too...
I trust Anandtech and Tomshardware much more than Gaming in 3d!

And If you go to the link in my signature, you'll see why BOTH TOmsHardware and Anandtech really didn't do a good job with their "supposed" comparisons.

So is the FOP32-1 really that good after all??
Who would have the most accurate results??

 

[Mikewarrior2]

Its definately a good heatsink, with fairly good noise to performance ratio. IF noise is a concern, go with the Taisol CGK742092.

NEither TomsHardware nor Anands is accurate in even a remote sense. Overclockers.com seems to be doing the best work of trying to find a way around socket A temp reading problems.
