    Actually...It's Geeky1's article. And be damned if I can find that monster for sale anywhere...it's HUGE! Geeky1 must have the prototype "snap off your socket" version.

    :thumbsup:

    410C? 1-20C?

    Methinks you need to fix your degree marks, guys.

    So I send keebs and mediaman this review. I give the correct heatsink manufacturer-Thermalright-repeatedly, AND I have working degree symbols. Leave these two yutzes with it for a couple of days and they break my degree symbols and decide to announce a new heatsink called the Thermaltake XP-120. And this is S-M's editorial "dream team"? :rolleyes::D

    Seriously though, mistakes happen, mediaman and keebs are both busy, and I can't fault them for it. I've gotten Thermaltake and Thermalright mixed up before myself (but this time it wasn't me!! :D). It's fixed, so no worries. :)

    I demand that this be fitted to a 6800 or x800 next! =D

    I might consider it, but I suspect that it wouldn't work too well. The heatpipes probably wouldn't like being inverted.

    Good review, however, you didn't test one of the most important motherboards. IC7-MAX3. DOH!

    Thermalright didn't. The compatability listing is direct from them.

    No, it's not thrax. I did the testing myself.

    Unregistered: If they'd had any on display, I would have. However, I would NOT bet money on it fitting. It doesn't fit on the Max II, and the III is almost the same, but with some ducting over the power circuitry. At least that's what it looks like to me. And in that case, it almost certainly will NOT fit.

    nice review Geeky1! Thermalright is also claiming Athlon 64 compatibility for the XP-120!

    The XP-120 is on sale at FrozenCPU and The Heatsink Factory

    It's not compatible with the one I got. I only got the P4 clips. :-/

    It does fit on the IC7-G , I have it currently installed in my system. Very slight cap. bending, but it fit nicely.

    "The build quality is excellent, but a $50 heatsink should have a better base. Fits most motherboards, but not all."
    Better base????
    It`s cooper nickel plated...only a pure silver base it`s better than that.

    Will it fit an Abit IC7 (non-'G') board? I'd love to have that power, with it's low noise.
