Mikhailtech has posted an Alpha Ramsinks/GPU Cooler review



It's a shame these aren't as popular as the spiffy looking tin-plated coppers, but that's exactly why: they don't look as nice. However, as you're about to see, they are significantly cheaper and perform on par, if not better, since they tackle the principle of cooling just as well as copper ramsinks deal with aesthetics. Anyway, I got a big batch of Alpha's W45 parallel wing fin heatsinks. These are offered in sizes ranging from 30x30mm to 100x100mm and heights from 10-45mm. While not as densely packed as Alpha's new Z-series (which look like 1U versions of the PEP66 but with more fins), these are something. The different sizes currently being sold are all based off a 45x45mm design, 10mm high. They either ship in full size, 22mm squares or 22x45mm strips. I'm not sure if they're cut by hand or at some factory, but the edges are pretty smooth so it's probably the latter.
