svc gc68 look-alike... really the same?

[JonnyJonJon]

i've heard great things about the svc gc68 hsf... and i've seen some pics of it. after lookin around, i saw an identical looking heatsink at newegg.com under the aoc name (d5-825). it's cheaper, and seeing as i'm getting a new fan for it anyway, it seems like a good deal, right? anybody able to tell me if it's really the same?

Here's another option, it's ~ $13 with free artic alumina from case-mod.com with a 30cfm 28dba fan.

No, they actually are different. I found the specs on their site.

38 cfm
33 dBa
3000 RPM fan

Still seems decent for the price. It costs almost over $5 for me to get one shipped at case-mod. And about $4.50 at svc. I think I might go with this one. I'll tell you how it performs.

Yes, from the research I did here, they are all the same. AOC is YS Tech which is also Galaxy Monster brand.
