Features/Specifications:

Let’s see what sets this heatsink apart from the rest of them in the market. Fan size is good but they could have included a 80MM fan instead of 60MM for better heat dissipation and low noise. Their 60MM fan operates at about 4800RPM which sounds as though it will make a perfect candidate for the lower noise but we will see how the noise level is later in this review. With the airflow of 37.8CFM it shouldn’t have any problems cooling down the P4 processor. Life is about 50,000 hours, which is more than enough since everyone likes to upgrade something once in a while. The thing that really stood out was the weight. This heatsink weighs about 350GM, which is a lot less weighty than most heatsinks. It also weighs less because unlike many high quality heatsinks, this one is made out of aluminum instead of copper. We are not going to predict the performance just based on the fact that it is made out of aluminum instead of copper because our predictions proved us wrong with CoolerMaster’s Aero 7 Lite heatsink reviewed HERE. The specifications are not too impressive since we have seen much better packages.

Packaging:

As you can see from the pictures above that Taisol’s Heatpipe heatsink comes in a plastic see-thru package. There is no other way to protect the heatsink from rough handling other than this light packaging. In the front of the package lists the support of P4 processors that this heatsink is rated for and they have their company logo on the front. They also have “Conquer Overclock!” written at the top left corner, which really gives us hopes regarding this heatsink.

There is nothing exciting written on the back of the package. From this we concluded that Taisol either have really bad designing team or they believe in simplicity.
