         The initial thermal performance tests are pretty average for a 
heatsink of this size and material. The thick copper fins work well to move heat 
energy up for cooling, but thinner and more closely packed fins would have worked even better 
I suspect.

  In the 
final set of synthetic temperature  
                  
  test results 
the NengTyi KA03 shows us that as a socket  
                  
  A heatsink it is able to handle the job with fairly 
average thermal results. The temperatures are not the best in the world, nor are 
they going to be sufficient for overclockers, but for average users the KA03 is 
quite sufficient.
     My only real concern with this  
                  
  heatsink is that given the weight of it a single tab 
clip is not going to offer the most secure mounting method. I think a 
three-tab clip would have been a much more desireable method of locking the KA03 
in place.
