A Cooler, Too: ElanVital FSCUG9C-6
The base plate of the FSCUG9C-6 consists of three millimeters of pure copper. The plate's underside has been raised about a millimeter around the area where the die usually fits. After all, that's where the most heat is generated, and it needs to be dissipated quickly.
The cooling ribs are made of aluminum and are soldered to the base plate. The surfaces of the FSCUG9C-6 look neither elegant nor high-quality.
The cooling capacity is rather mediocre for a copper-aluminum cooler. But it's enough for a 1400 Thunderbird. We wouldn't recommend this cooler to hardcore overclockers.
