Just got word that Gaming in 3D have posted their Zalman CNPS7000Cu vs. Thermalright SLK-900U: The end of aircooling as we know it review! Here's a snip.
Hmmm..."the end of aircooling"... sounds like a bold statement. A lot of tech sites like making bold statements in order to get attention. Perfects scores of "10 out of 10" and "100%" seem to have lost their value. How can a product be perfect? One that is designed by imperfect humans?
So, my statement above may initially irk some. Some may yell, "How do you know for sure that this is the best aircooling can achieve? You're full of it, Mega!" But I never said this was the end... I said this was the end "as we know it".
We're now approaching heatsinks that weigh the better part of a kilo. At what point do the lugs on a Athlon socket break off? At what point will the P4's retention clip fail? Things are getting pretty girthy around here, folks. Attaching a heatsink by nuts and bolts was once thought overkill... but now it's become rather standard on high-end heatsinks. Even more, we're continuously concerned if a heatsink will even fit on our motherboard.
