Introduction:
Ok, captain obscure-o is here to write another review with the help of another
great singer
songwriter
Hello heat sinks my old friends,
I've come to test with you again,
because the temp'ratures are creeping,
and all the noise while I try sleeping,
now I have two silent heat sinks spinning
and I am grinning,
to the sound of silence.
Man, I have a never-ending vat of this cleverness stuff if anyone wants some.
Today we have a quick and dirty comparison of two brand new quiet HSF cooling
solutions for your P4. A whispering copper giant from Zalman, and a hushed high
tech aluminum challenger from Nexus.
The first thing I should mention is the differences between these two heat
sinks. The Zalman weighs in at a hefty 773 grams (far above the specified maximum
weights of 450g and 300g for P4 and AMD cooling devices respectively), while
the Nexus only weighs a paltry (in comparison) 385 grams. The Zalman is made
of copper fins compressed into a single piece, the Nexus is made from a solid
block of aluminum that is skived into a heat sink. The Zalman costs around $50,
while the Nexus costs $30. This could be a tough (read: one sided) competition
for the Nexus.
