Rating the heatsinks

[blade]

I've been meaning to make an article on this but have been too lazy so far.

This is rating them just from the actual heatsink and from using the same fan on them all and forgetting about how some have a lawnmower fan. This is rating based on using a fan off a volcano II on each. Also I haven't tested any Alpha or swiftech heatsinks and I know those are also good.

1) AX-7
2)Cak II
3)HHC-001 (heatpipe)
4)Volcano 7+ (not the original v7)
5)DR Thermal TI-V77
6)Senfu
7)sk6
8)Vantec 6035D
9)Dr Thermal Ti-V86
10)HCC-002

Most of those are real close and maybe a degree or two different. Especially ones 5-8. The Zen might be near the top but I didn't include that since it's priced way too high and can easily crush a cpu.

Anyway, that's my results and yours may vary of course.
