ATTN: Heatsink ManufacturersWe need a few heatsink makers step up to the plate and produce high performance sub-65mm tall heatsinks. There are lots of great +160mm performance CPU coolers, but Frostytech has been hearing from too many readers lately in search of high performance low profile heatsinks for media
PCs, home theatre PCs, and compact PC systems. The influx of recent Intel/AMD
integrated graphics chipsets is only amplifying the demand. The trouble is most readers tell Frostytech they are
having a hard time finding suitable sub-65mm tall heatsinks because the pickings
are slim.
Frostytech has tested about a dozen sub-65mm tall heatsinks, ranked below by
order of cooling performance. If you're a manufacturer, drop us a line.
