OCZ Tempest Heatsink Review @ FrostyTech

Review: FrostyTech
_______________
After a long absence from all things heatsink related, OCZ is back in the game with a compact little multi-socket heatsink called the Tempest. The OCZ Tempest heatsink weighs in at 580 grams, and is built upon a design that relies heavily on copper components. The design is a fairly predictable mix of copper, heatpipes and a big low RPM fan, so it will be interesting to see how OCZ's product fairs against the strong lineup of socket AM2/939 AMD Athlon64 heatsinks on the market right now. The performance of the stock Athlon64 X2 AM2 heatsinks is quiet remarkable, and I suspect the Tempest will need more than a bit of copper, or a blue LED illuminated fan to prove its mettle.
