OCZ Unleashes Passive Heatsink For AMD Opteron CPUs

Dom · Jun 5, 2003, 02:38 AM

Last year OCZ Technology unveiled its P4 Eliminator Passive Heatsink for Intel Pentium 4 processors in order to bring an advanced and quiet cooling solution for the powerful CPUs. Today OCZ went even further by announcing yet another passive heatsink, but this time for AMD Opteron processors intended for servers.

The Eliminator K8 has been designed and tested to efficiently cool the AMD Opteron processor to ensure maximum stability and performance, according to OCZ. Being made of pure copper and with loads of fins, the Eliminator K8 should be a very interesting solution for AMD 64-bit server processors given that the absence of mechanical parts, such as fans, is an indisputable advantage for servers. The solution is mostly intended for 1U servers and is available now.

Passive cooling.... my dream come true.

Well, it used to be. I'm getting more and more tolerant of fan noise.

OK, so if it keeps the temps down enough as a passive cooler, Imagine how cool you could run with a Delta 'screamer' on it....

Well, this is the first shot of passive cooling JavaFox..... Remember the passive cooler for the socket-a made by Zalman... You just needed decent case flow to use it as passive.
