i7 920 Performance Results
To get to the upper echelons in our charts a heatsink has to display some serious cooling potential and the Thor's Hammer has done just that. Unfortunately, it just can't seem to beat products that are priced significantly lower than its approximate $75. While these numbers are certainly good they really do underscore the main weakness of this unit: the base. Even though we risk editorializing here, we believe that the large gaps between the heat pipes and the aluminum shims along with the poor polishing quality are seriously hurting the base's potential to efficiently conduct heat away from the CPU.
