The absolutely ultimate P4 heatsink... here

No.

That's what you need. Only for a CPU.
 
Come on...

I want real-life, reliable, long-term cooling, not exotic toys that last for a 3dmark run.
 
Tom holck's new cascade is colder than LN2, now that is extreme. (check out extreme system forums to see what I am talking about, 3.3ghz fx51)

Colder than LN2?
How about some linkage, that's really hard to believe.

man...you'd need a full tower..or an external power supply to fit that...

No way. It will obviously fit in most mid-tower cases.
 
Thats a badass looking heatsink.

I am about to look for a new heatsink as well, thanks.

0_o again I was too quick to post...I was going by the picture on the link,and how much the HS overlapped the mobo at the top of the board...after your post I looked at where the ic7 s478 was positioned..you are correct...it'll fit

120mm fan..i'm liking that

I 2nd that. unless it costs like $60,....have to see a good review that compares the tw first though

when is it coming out and price? could this rival watercooling?

I definately don't think it will rival watercooling, but it would certainly beat out most of the low-cost entry level WC setups out there. Hell, the SLK900/Zalman 7000 already does that.

but yeah...I'm DYING to know the price and a performance comparison of it! Especially against a 7000cu. Just to be fair though, they should use a 92mm fan that moves about the same cfm as the Zalman in one of the tests just to show the difference the heatsink itself will make.

I disagree with that. A heatsink constitutes one entity with the fan (size) that it was designed to be used with. I.e. every heatsink should be tested with the size of fan that the designers intended to be used on it.
 
I reiterate - that HS looks BADASS! The thing is a pretty hunk of metal. I think I will recommend it to my friends with P4 systems if the thing isn't too expensive.

It's not only that it looks good (which it does). I wouldn't care if it looked like the decaying body of a rat. But it has so many practical advantages:

- It weighs only 370 grams, so you can just snap it into the standard P4 retention frame. (This is the reason I've stayed away from the current Thermalright: way too much hassle to install, with the need to take apart the entire computer.)

- No need to fret about your precious video card if the heatsink should ever come off - both the current Thermalright and my Zalman 7000 CU weigh twice as much.

- It's gonna be fairly quiet with a big, slow-spinning 120 mm fan.

- It will also cool much of your mobo parts.

As I said, this new heatsink is aircooling heaven... :)
 
I'm curious as to when they plan on releasing a copper version (you know it will eventually happen).

That one will have to be bolted to the board no doubt, but I wonder how much better it will cool.

Also, the thing looks totally bad ass, but man it needs a lot of room to one side of the CPU socket due to the heat pipes.

I didn't mean ONLY test it with a 92mm, but to show the difference that the heatsink and ONLY the heatsink will make over something such as a Zalman. Much like some of the reviews of the SLK9xx hs's that accept anything from a 70mm to 92mm fans. Of course, if the 120mm fan moved the same amount of air as the 92mm on the Zalman, you'd get the same comparison I'm talking about.
 
damn so nice, gonna buy one with my new system
is it LGA 775 compatible?
 
I'm using a 7000AlCu and I plan to switch to this as soon as my local distributor gets it in. :D
I too stayed away from the SP94 because of the hassle of installation, but this one is light, and it's quick to install! Besides, copper base + copper heatpipes + alu fins = great cooling! :D

I concur wholeheartedly. I figured the article already showed how well it performed, so I just commented on how nice it looks.

i can't wait for this one to come out. feel uneasy about the 773g weight of current. will probably sell this one.
 
sigh

dont fool yourselves guys, if that comes off, you WILL have problems no matter what. its still BIG and METAL and TOUCHING A VIDEO CARD
 
a few years ago a company that does buisness with us came over from japan to demo some metals for us, and one of the metals they brought was a porous metal. he had this cube of metal that looked completely sold, with NO HOLES. he told us that you had to cut it in a special way because if you cut it wrong you would close all the pores on whatever side you were cutting and it wouldnt be porus. he had a block of it about the size of a softball (it was light too, little lighter than aluminum id say) and he poured water on it about the size of a half dollar, and it just disappeared like it evaporated. a few seconds later it came leaking out of the bottom. i should have stole it and tried to make a waterblock for a cpu with it. :(

not if you closed off the parts you didnt need, my idea was to drill nozzles into it for the water hoses and work it like that.
 
I just got this info from Thermalright:

"In the second week of July XP-120 will be available at our resellers in Europe. Thank you for your good interest in Thermalright products."
 
Pair this bad boy of a heatsink with a Delta 200 CFM 120x38mm EHE fan and you'll have the best air cooling solution to date. Sucker draws 3.00 amps to startup and screams at 60 dBa, but DAMN can it cool.

However you'll also need earplugs :)

WOOT! July is National Baked Bean month. That HSF will arrive just in time to cool off your ultra hot CPU's to the point they won't combust the flatulance from the beans :p
 
with a tornado the sp-94 is still cooler, just the noise is killer :(
id like to see a copper version of this, but because i already tore out my retention bracket on my mobo, i really cant do much with it. :( doesnt look like it would fit on a max3 anyways cause of the otes

ah crap, I just ordered that motherboard
but from looking at the pictures, this new heatsink looks taller, the only thing I think will get on the way will be the chipset heatsink, or am i wrong
 
Man I want to make Bang Bang with that HS. I have a nice Delta 120mm 130CFM begging for usage on the HS.:)
 
2nd week of July... can't wait. (been waiting eversince computex)... Maybe I will act like a reviewer and ask for sample.... Bah... maybe raid there factory where its not far at all :p
Going to be long 3-4 weeks.
 
bad ass cooler no doubt.

but i have yet to see anyone prove any particular chips oc would change based on 1 to 2 degrees difference in temp
 
Well I have the Thermalright XP-120 installed. With a virtually inaudible 12 cm Papst fan pushing 55 CFM at 1600 rpm, it cools just like the Zalman CNPS-7000 Cu, but it's virtually soundless. With a 82 CFM 12 cm Papst fan running at 2200 rpm, it's still less noisy than the Zalman but the load CPU temp is about 6 C better (64 C instead of 70 - according to my Abit mobo - in a VERY hot room with no air conditioning).

I think the reason for the very moderate noise is partly the rubber strips that Thermalright supplies with the heatsink. They isolate the vibrations of the fan from the heatsink very well.

Overall, I'd say it's hard to find a better air cooling solution, particularly if you don't want to fret about the possibility of a 800-gramm monster ripping out the CPU socket and/or falling on your $500 video card. (This Thermalright is incredibly light for its size - about 370 g without a fan.)
 
Where can I get this beautiful beast? I must have it :cool: I'm just wondering about fit on a IS7 though..
