Sunbeam "Core Contact Freezer" Review

[sdsdv10]

Sorry if this is a repeat (a quick search didn't bring anything up), but I just was reading this review over at OCC
http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/sunbeam_corecontactfreezer/

Looks like a pretty nice CPU cooler and it's currently $35 after MIR at the egg

(With free shipping to boot :up:)

awesome

A bunch of other reviews have shown it as well as the vendetta 2, xigmatek s1283 to be as good as the TRUE.

What annoys me about that review is how low the TRUE's stock temps are below everything else. It doesn't seem possible for it to be beating every other heatsink including a good one like the freezer extreme by like 10 degrees.

aww.. too bad it wasnt free shipping when i ordered my s1283.. :up:

I guess it's a decent enough heatsink, best for a dual core from my testing here. It comes with an ok fan controller but the mounting system is crap and the fan is pretty weak for really pushing a quad.

It's been around for awhile and so have reviews. I reasearched it a month ago and bought it

A nice alternative to the Tuniq Tower 120 (also made by Sunbeam)

:rofl::rofl: i bought a tuniq for 20$ was a waste compared to my true
i just got a s1283 for 15$ just to play with if i dont like it i'm gonna mod it into a nb heatsink

Tuniq has been no good cooler for long time, many newer and cheaper coolers outperform it.
Xigmatek models are great and they do offer bolt trough kit as an option.
