Just ordered this yesterday, arrived today, and finished installing on my phenom 9950



Fit's nicely in my case. Will post pics later, but its already dropped my idle over 17deg C! Screw stock cooling. Not sure how many of you have this I think I remember seeing it before in some threads but it's frickin nice, keeps my cpu real close to mb temps.

lol hsfs are getting ridiculous.

Nice though, when I pick up a PHII I'll look into that.

I would def. recommend it:

Best Fan ive ever used is the Nirvana ... it will outperform most any stock/in a box h20 system.

Copper Heatsink or GTFO kthx.

f*ck copper, fins bend too f*cking easily.

[DarkShadow]

What?!

how the fuck does copper bend too easily if its in a mounted position that isn't touched, you stupid doublenigger.

also, Copper dissipates heat far superior to that aluminum machine cut beer-can of a heat sink.

Well, if you change your sh*t around a bunch like i do w/harddrives and other hardware, yes that sh*t does matter to me. I hadda zalman copper hs for my graphics card and if you even touch the damn thing the finds would bend. no sh*t copper has a higher specific heat or thermal conductivity. But this combo of the 2 is more resilient and cools the cpu just as good as any other air cooled hs.

Btw, specs incase you didnt read them: Dual-side aluminum fins + copper base, 4 x F8 copper heat pipes

Its not so much copper or aluminum bends easier, its thin metal bends, Aluminum or Copper have the ability to bend, especially when they are thin fins.

Copper is better overall, except real copper is usually a lot more expensive and ugly.

Who cares if it bends, not like it's going to make the heatsink fail because you bent it
