Introduction

As our processors get faster the temperature goes up accordingly and the job of the heatsink become even more difficult as it tries to not only cool the processor but the component surrounding it  What used to be done with a high quality copper heatsinks and 80mm fans has now required us to move on to more aggressive means of cooling things using such things as heat pipes and 120mm fans. 

Another thing that has changed dramatically is the weight of the past versus the present heatsinks.  Take for example the Thermaltake Volcano 11 a pretty decent heatsink in its time and considered a monster by many when it tipped scale a 476 grams.  Whereas the heatsink we are looking at today, the Silverstone NT02 weight a mere 476 grams.
