Neng Tyi K612 Cu/Al Heatsink Review
So far we've seen just a glimpse of the heatsinks from a company called
Neng Tyi. In this review we take a look at a hybrid copper / aluminum
cooler designed to handle AMD T-bird's and Coppermine processors. With the
benefit of a copper base is the ultra-low profile will the
K612 be the one to watch?

Any heatsink which manages to include a bit
of copper usually gets better performance then its' all-aluminum
counterparts. This heatsink, uses only a base of copper, with the rest of
the fins and frame made from aluminum. Given the small height
of this heatsink will it be able to perform?
First Impressions:
We first heard about
Neng Tyi during Comdex 2000. After wandering past many resellers promoting the same cheap
ORB knockoffs we noticed a bunch of copper heatsinks based
around a special bonded fin assembly. The fins on all of Neng Tyi's
heatsinks have little interlocking tabs which hold them together independently of the framework and form
a unique way of creating a bonded-fin heatsink. Rather then using one continuous strip of thin metal,
folded over many times, the open top allows more air to flow
across the fins. The machine-made assembly has a nicer, flatter bottom to make contact with the
base as well. Our thanks goes out to Mr. Richard Lin for giving us the opportunity to take a detailed look at this cool little hybrid
copper-aluminum heatsink. So lets begin our look at the K612...
