Coolermaster Hyper 48 Heatsink or Thermalright SLK 948u

[Slimmie]

Wich one is better? Wich one gets lower temps?

A Coolermaster Hyper 48 Heatsink with a vantec Tornado on it or a
Thermalright SLK 948u with Vantec Tornado on it.

The Coolermaster uses 4 heatpipes but uses not much copper fins.
The Thermalright has no heatpipes but uses many copper fins.
Also the Coolermaster heatsink is a bit heavier.

From personal experience with the Coolermaster Hyper 6, I would go with the Hyper 48.

Thermalright because heatpipes only work in a specific range of temperatures, a HS should use them to help an already effeciant design, not base the whole design around them.

Then why are all the new Thermalright's based on the heatpipe design? :confused: and seem to be very successful.

they have been added to the currently successful design of the SLK 947/8
