We will take a look at a completely fanless solution from Thermaltake today. We have a socket 754 cooler for AMD64 which we will test out and see
if it really can perform good enough to sit on a rig. It has two big heatsinks connected to each other by heatpipes. We will see how it does under normal use and under overclocking.

Well packed product in general. The heatsink was well protected and on the front we have a picture of the heatsink.
On the back we have specifications for it so you can read about it and get the info you need.

Included with the big heatsink is a small bag with two screws and a manual. We also have a bracket which you will have to install instead of the
already mounted bracket on the motherboard. On the right picture we can see the heatpipes which connect the heatsinks together.
I have to say this works amazingly good since it really does trasnfer the heat to the bigger heatsink.

Here we can see that the core of the heatsink is a thick copper plate which is connected to the bigger heatsinks through heatpipes. The big heatsink is twice as big as the smaller one
on the side and thats the one that is supposed to collect the most of the heat.

The bottom of the copper core is very well done as I see no dents or scratches so the heat transfer should be very good which we will need for this cooler
to work. We can see the heatsink mounted on the right picture and it sure does take space even when mounted outside the case as on this pic.
