Frostytech test a new EKL heatsink destined for the European market. Is it good? Is the Coollaboratory MetalPad worth using? Find out in Frosty's review.
"The Alphenfohn GroB Clock'ner Blue Edition heatsink on the test bench today is a heatpipe direct contact cooler - meaning the heatpipes are exposed at the base. The cooler stands 154m tall, is 125mm across and weighs upwards of 778grams. Bundled with the GroB Clock'ner Blue Edition heatsink is a small patch of Coollaboratory thermal interface material, the Liquid MetalPad. This paper thin piece of silvered colour metal is an Indium alloy (Indium, Copper, Bismuth) which melts at 59°C, and possess a density of 8.29g/cm3. The metal thermal interface material is copper and aluminum safe. "
