Sorry but thermolab BARAM RULES

You don´t need to do lapping and if you do it are going to obtain a super performance

his is price is not economic but it´s cheaper than the TRUE or Megahalems

it does not have an exagerate weight 625grm without fan, and you can put it 2 fans

lo unico malo es que... (the thermal compound is the only one thing that does not convince me)
though in this place http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.ph...&limitstart=13
they give it a ¨B¨ performance wich is good but not excellent.

this is a good site to look CPU´s heatsinks http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm
thermolab Baram http://www.frostytech.com/articlevie...id=2346&page=5 here is a comparison of temperatures with an others heatsinks

The test method becomes by a generic platform to give results as exactly as possible and to avoid the variations that present the same moddels of cpu´s from each other
they use the same fan of the sunbeam core contact...And the sunbeam remains behind

Baram is also supposedly hard to install.

I have also yet to see it for sale anywhere (At least in North America)
