I have two of these on hand and for sale atm so I decided to test one out on a SB platform. I was surprised at how well it did as I have not messed with any air coolers in quiet some time.

Rick, that's the old model with the staggered heat pipes. The new one, the OCK version, is much more gaudy looking.

I bought a couple of Corsair A70s for tuneup purposes and they work great too.

air cooling has come a long way

Funny...thinking back a few years ago, who would have envisioned 5GHz using air cooling lol.

I remember the 875K punishing it tho...

huh... don't remember an i7 875K ???

Put a couple of Delta xhi speed fans on both sides and these HSs really work

5ghz is quite nice on any platform and with sb you get serious performance. Nice setup rick.

The OCK will drop it a couple more degrees

Picked up one of these back in July. Not bad at all.

I personally think my 4 GHz sandy B is slow as balls now after p[laying around on AMD again. I hate going to my SandyB rig.
