Mystery sink. Most have probably seen it by now.

might blow the pencil marks off our L1's though

I would NOT use this thing on an Duron/T-Bird. As you can probably see it wouldn't rest on the rubber feet things and therfore full weight and pressure from this thing would be on the core. I have a feeling this heatsink would probably kill %75 of the Durons/T-Birds you attempted to mount on it.

Looks nice
I think it performs good

I posted this in GHD as well, I was ticked when I got home and there was no juicy thread about this sink. I'm still ticked but I think the giveaway at BrokPix is part of the reason.

It looks like a good extrusion. Anybody know how much those extrusion dies cost. I'm in the industry and I don't know? Smells like alot.

The guys with the tough name to type say it is wax filled and beats all COOL

and more evidence that kyle shouldn't be doing heatsink testing:

His Super orb temp increased 2F, and the vantec increased 1F, while other heatsinks didn't increase any. If it was a reliable enough and repeatable enough method, the temps would have all increased 2F or all stayed the same.

And, the most convincing one... He lapped his mystery sink and supposedly gained no performance... Compression at play... probably.

Just for general interest, compare the surface area of the Mystery Sink against this: PEP66 with the shroud off. Bottom line: at some point, the heat has to be transferred to the air somewhere. More somewhere = good.

Sure would be nice if Kyle would use a thermistor next to the die instead of the onboard thermistor which doesn't do anything but measure the temperature of the air underneath the processor.

I hope they cut one up with a saw and see exactly what the hell is in the middle of that thing. When I first read it, he thought it was ammonia but then he changed it and wrote that some guy told him it was wax. I don't see how wax could help one bit.
