Overall Rating:   0%
Abstract: When it comes to application, the Pentium4 version would seem to be better suited to that processor than the AthlonXP, as you'll see in the results below.

The Titan TTC-CU9TB/SC is mostly made of copper, and comes with a 70mm fan, but doesn't seem to have the right set of design criteria to really excel on the small interface test die which represents the AthlonXP core surface area. The initial FrostyTech Synthetic Temperature test data seems to peg the Titan TTC-CU9TB/SC as a pretty standard OEM level cooler....

In the end, the results speak for themselves. The Titan TTC-Cu9TB/SC, while predominantly made from copper, just doesn't have the right mix of design considerations to appeal to the small surface area of the AthlonXP and offer advanced cooling results. Instead, the TTC-CU9TB/SC falls into the OEM cooler realm, which is hardly the performance cooling section most consumers will be looking towards for their PCs.

Given the wide variety of higher performance copper and aluminum heatsinks for the socket A platform available, and listed here in as references, we can hardly recommend the Titan TTC-CU9TB/SC. While it will work just fine in any average desktop PC with a current, or preferably, older AthlonXP processor, there are much better heatsinks to be found that offer better thermals, and acoustic levels.

Clearly, Titan should have left this heatsink in the hands of the Pentium4 platform where it is better suited. Faced with the small surface area of the AthlonXP core, it really doesn't have the ideal design to offer competitive cooling results.
