Having a blonde day.

Right Ive been searching for an hour so far and cant for the life of me find out what this heatsink is



I have no idea who its made by or where to find it, but I do remeber seeing a few reviews about it a while back, any ideas guys.

[BigGlenn]

Not entirely sure as I haven't really got a clue when it comes to aftermarket heatsinks so I could be making a right fool of myself here.....

At first glance I thought it might be one of the Zalman Aero's??

[SuicidaL]

it looks suspiciously like a zalman type heatsink, something like 3 9700's bolted together as it has the looks of a custom job.

[staffsMike]

zalmans are usually black or copper coloured though, i've not seen a silver/aluminium one.

Certainly looks a lot like them though and does look like a bit of a bodge job..

::: Zalman :::


as i said it looks alot like 3 9700's with the top portion of fins cut away, the some cheap bright bar to join them, and as mike said it does look like a real botch job if was manufactured as opposed to someone modifying the bits.

[staffsMike]

always thought that was black..ish



plus the picture in the OP seems to have some sort of bind around the fins where the zalmans don't.

[Funkstar]

^^ Thats what i thought it was to start with.

But i think it ooks more like a custom job to me, using three smaller heat sinks.

[SuicidaL]

true, the only thing i can think of for the use of them is

a) heat dissipation form the main heatsink

and

b) to stop the bloody things from falling apart

[daza]

I know for a fact its not a zalman, although it does look like it.

theres two pieces from what I can rememeber that move so it can be folded up like in the photo or un-folded from what I can recall I shall research some more but its really bugging me not knowing what it is now.

[staffsMike]

think i have a winner

Newegg.com - Rosewill RCX-Z5-Ultra 92mm x 2 Two Ball + Long Life Sleeve CPU Cooler - Retail

[peterb]

Think you are spot on staffsMike - doesn't get glowing reviews though! Rosewill hardly a well known name (or maybe they are in the US)

The idea looks quite good, but the execution less so.

[daza]

Or one of these, AURAS Technology Co., Ltd.

[BUFF]

Rosewill hardly a well known name (or maybe they are in the US)

Newegg house brand iirc.

[donkiddik]

Maybe it should have been called Roswell, cos it looks like it's from a downed flying saucer!

[Pob255]

What a bizzar cooler.

Is it any good? or is it one of thoes Lan-party-bling-with-a-price-tag-to-match products?
