All things considered the Neng Tyi P366 faired
above average, but not better than the reference Thermaltake Superorb. It's a
substantially smaller heatsink then the SuperOrb and with only one fan so this is kind
of expected. But, since Kyle gave us a hard time once about not comparing results
with top of the line heatsinks we, through it in ;-)
The closest
comparison to the Neng Tyi P366 copper heatsink comes from the remaining heatsinks,
which are of bonded fin construction of one form or another. The Ascent is a typical
aluminum folded fin design, and does rather poorly.
The Thermalbuster tags very close in performance with that of the
Neng Tyi P366 but always remains a few degrees in the rear, especially in the
all important small copper die template test. Only the Coolermaster was able to
just ahead in that category, probably due to the size of the dead air zone under
the massive YS Tech fan on the P366.

The results reiterate themselves when we look
at the temperature increases above the ambient. While the Neng Tyi P366 faired
very well in tests with the large copper die template, coming in only three
degrees warmer than the SuperOrb, its' results with the smaller copper die
template were less than expected.
