I'm just wandering which one of these 2 top end HSF is the best of the best. Not considering about noise, or installation, just performance. Giving both heatsinks the 92mm Tornado.

I hate Computers!

nobody has any idea?

I hate Computers! I could only overclock my Barton 2500+ to 2580mhz(vcore 1.65). My Radeon 9700pro core/mem speed won't go above 410/720. I really hate computers!

Well the MCX-462 was the best earlier on, but i would have to say the slk-900 improves on it.
The differences between the two though are slim.
With such monster sinks you are pushing the limits of what aircooling can achieve.

And often cauz the heatsinks are so good you dont need a eardrum assaulting high speed fan.

Im running a MCX-462 with 3000rpm panaflo 80mm fan with a XP1700+ tbredA @ 1750...
Tizz stable for months on end.
