Thermalright SLK800 Copper Heatsink Review

What could possibly be better than an all copper heatsink built from the ground up with performance cooling in mind? Okay, an all silver heatsink would be better, but since such a thing doesn't exist in the mainstream cooling world, we'll just have to settle for the Thermalright SLK-800 and plug our ears. The SLK800 uses a triangular shaped base which is similar in many was to what we have seen from the Korean manufacturer, Tocools. The difference here is that Thermalright have milled a slot all the way down the center of this rather large copper Toblerone shape for a three-prong clip to take hold of the socket. With a base thickness over the core of just 8mm, it would have been nicer to see a different method of clipping utilized here.
