Coolink U2P Heatsink Review
Built
with a body of nickel plated 6063-T5 extruded aluminum and a 2mm thick C1100 copper
base, the Coolink U2P already seems pretty formidable by description alone. Of course in
the search for ultimate cooling, manufactures are always looking for the best combination of heatsink and
fan, and in this case all that metal is topped by something very cool, and very
big.
Sitting above the heatsink fin section is a 38mm
thick 80mm 5700RPM fan that screams away at over 50CFM. If Coolink have the
equation right, this fan and the copper base of the nickel plated aluminum
extrusion should equal one powerful socket A cooling system. XTwerkz.com sent in
this heatsink for review as they are the US distributor for Coolink.

The downside to this heatsink is something
you can hear from the second you turn it on - it is loud. In our tests
the heatsink registered a noise level of 63.3 dB! That makes it one of the
loudest heatsink fans we have tested in quite some time, and it will ultimately make
it an annoying heatsink with time.
After all, even performance oriented users like to be able to approach their
tweaked and tuned computers without the need for hearing protection.
