Benchmark Reviews strives to offer the overclocker and hardware enthusiast community solid evidence reflecting the true performance of computer products through rigorous testing and evaluation. We understand that many of our readers have been involved with other community websites for years, and take our test results personally; this was made clear to us when we released our 33-Way Thermal Interface Material Comparison article. So then after months of planning and preparation, we have worked to achieve the most complete source of test results possible, offering irrefutable test results gathered in a controlled environment. The purpose of this article is to document our findings and declare the best and top-rated CPU coolers available as of Q1 2008.

Some counter-intuitive results there, as it seems heat pipes work better horizontally than vertically, though you would assume the vapour rising / liquid falling would increase the effectiveness, maybe a complete loop circulation is needed, to avoid the returning fluid interfering with the rising vapour.
