copper is quite a heavy metal and you appreciate that by picking one of these up. much heavier than i expected.

in the pack you get a 2 parts of the heat spreader which each have a white thermal pad on them and two clips. you need 1 pack for each stick of ram of course

here you see two sets so you can see both sides. copper is of course a very good conductor of heat but it is also quite an attractive metal in my opinion.

and finally installed in my case. looking good.

one comment is that the instructions talk about thermal adhesive tape which you have to remove from the thermal pads. after 10mins of trying to figure out how to remove the tape with a pair of tweezers i decided that there is actually no tape on these thermal pads. it wouldnt be the first time cooler master has changed the spec but not the instructions in the packs.....please let me know if you think i did it wrong..

Hey, is that a cap in pic #6 made by one of our bad cap manufacturers?

I'm guessing G-Luxon.

I have to agree. I like the large copper CM heatsinks. I have them on one of my VP6s. Its just pretty. Much better than the bland silverish grey of other heatsinks.
