FoxConn Heat Guzzler Heatsink

This article is a good read for anyone who doesn’t want to get cheated into buying a $%&#*y heatsink. Virtual-hideout takes a look at this very nice looking Foxconn heatsink which turns out to be a not-so-very-nice performer when it takes their processor to 62c.

“I was in a quandary. This is the first time I have encountered a mod product that was so obviously designed with only the marketing aspect in mind. Heat Pipe technology sounds cool. A copper colored base looks mighty high-tech when sealed within the plastic bubble packaging. A radically designed cooler with one thing in mind, getting you to take it up to the counter to pay for it. After that, apparently you’re on your own.”
