Mikhailtech has posted a TaiSol CGK760092 Heatsink review
Still present is the 11-fin low profile Delta fan (non-Black Label screamer type), screwed into an adapter which in turn is attached to a few fins. No chrome grill is present, yet there is a thermal pad pre-applied *sigh*. It's not a very heavy cooler and still has a rough finish. Now, about extrusion and forging. Extruded heatsinks are the most typical ones. This is basically a solid block that's ... well ... extruded (pushed through some kind of opening) to make the desired shape. Alpha, Swiftech, Thermaltake, Coolermaster, etc: all of them use extrusion. This makes the whole thing very shiny and neat looking, something the CGK760092 is definitely not. Why? Because it's forged: liquid aluminum alloy poured into a mold. Very few manufacturers do this sort of thing (I personally don't know one but don't want to say there aren't any) but it does have its advantage: greater density, which results in better heat dissipation.Read more
