Abstract: Nickel plating aluminum heatsinks seems to be making the international rounds, and I'm honestly not sure what the big draw is.

Initial performance figures show us that the Cho-Liang may actually be better than we had first thought. The temperature results on the small interface die at 100W are especially good. On the larger die the heatsink evidentially doesn't have the features needed to provide very good cooling and shows elevated results.

These are the numbers we have all been waiting to see, and the Cho Liang heatsink manages to produce some pretty good results all things considered. In fact, the Cho Liang heatsink is able to keep up with some rather more expensive heatsinks and come in under the 50 degree mark - something we always like to see.

The performance heatsink barrier starts at about the 40 degree mark so the Cho liang heatsink isn't quite there, but if you happen to be faced with a heatsink decision in the future and need something inexpensive, and relatively low noise, the CB0307U-17 or twin brother CB0307U-1 offer a good alternative.
