Arctic Freezer 64 (the AMD version) has served me well on two boxes. Quiet, easy to install, and nice and cool for air...

Do any of these good HSF screw into the mounting bracket things of an AMD S939?

I have a XP-90, but I don't like how you have to "snap" it on because I can never get it on evenly. Also when trying to take it off, it left scratch marks on my IHS. I'd prefer a screw on design that way I can be sure to apply the proper amount of pressure to the CPU instead of just snapping on the HSF.

The Big Typhoon screws into the mobo's backplate. I did a Zalman 9500 install and if I remember correctly, it was the same case with that.

Really nice work and this is well deserving as a sticky. This should save people ALOT of time.


Only a couple of things:

I don't know if you've add the recent 10-way heatsink round-up

In fact it might be worth considering adding an extra section of round-up reviews where many heatsinks are compared at once.

Otherwise, I'm not sure if there might be worth adding special comments for some heatsinks. Here I'm primarily thinking of the Asetek Vapochill Ultra Low Noise which is having mixed reviews thanks to its poorly recommended mounting mechanism. This can be illustrated in a recent Anandtech post on it where temps could be dropped dramatically using the mounting method for DFI boards - shown here . Providing small snippets of extra information like that I think would be immensely helpful.

The Si 120 is to be discontinued and replce with SP120.

FYI to those that read this, the above statement is false. Thermalright has never made such a decision and there is no such product named SP-120. I can't advise where the poster came up with this information.

The SP is rumoured to be an all copper SI-120/XP-120 , but I've seen anything like that yet; and google only shows pages where people made typo's
