3Rsystem Iceage 120 Boss II Dimpled-Fin Heatsink Review
Quote:
Let's get right to the point, 3Rsystem's Iceage 120 Boss II heatsink is currently one of the Top 5 heatsinks tested on Frostytech. Key to the success of this Korean-made heatsink on both AMD and Intel synthetic test platforms are five 8mm diameter exposed base heatpipes and a unique "X" pattern that places the heatpipes in the path of high velocity air from the coolers' 120mm fan.
On top of that, the Iceage 120 Boss II heatsink utilizes dimpled surface fins which are intended to disrupt boundary layer laminar airflow - basically causing turbulent airflow than can enhance heat transfer.The challenge is that fin texturing techniques like dimples can cause pressure drop, making it harder for air to easily pass through the heatsink and consequently require a stronger (louder) fan.

Very difficult to get. I wrote to them and they told me they are working on a better distribution.
