Extruded aluminum heatsinks have begun to show their age and tend to land lower in the list of reference coolers than full copper, or copper-aluminum heatsinks generally do. This is not to say that they do no have their place in computers, but the applications should be chosen a little more carefully.

Performance users swear by copper and would never really consider anything else. Average users with processors running at default speeds can usually get by with a decent OEM class heatsink. At the very least, a cooler like the 5T235 can have its' fan switched out for something a bit more powerful if core temps rise beyond a users preference.

When we look at the rise above ambient temperatures (which are grouped according to the results in the far-right column) we can see that A) the 5T235 is pretty well equipped in the 50 Watt range, and B) fits into the OEM/average heatsink class. A temp of ~56 degrees Celsius on the small copper interface die is pretty much dead center in the range.

Below 55 degrees is obviously best, but thankfully the Spire cooler does not fall into the 60 degree, or over, range.
