HMM.. so C/W ratings is temperature changes per heat absorbed/energry absorbed... Am I wrong?

I am checking through seeing how this differs with muatan haba learnt in Form 4 physics...

J kg-1 C-1

So C/W is just nice the other way round of Specific Heat?
Copper has very low specific heat, around 387 J kg-1 c-1.. So it requires less heat to have temperature change on the copper itself.
Alu has 900 J kg-1 c-1/, means 900 joule for one celcius change.

I guess that's the reason why a higher CFM fan is needed for copper? Yet copper have better conductivity compared to alu right?

*just wanna link up studies and da practical stuffs. *

Try to read this thread abit about alu vs copper.
But, the interesting part is alu needs alot more energy provided to it only then temperature will increase. (specific heat) I am still scratching my head over this though...

Oh. Haha.. heat is a form of energy. Meassured in joule. So I must have thinked too fast and typed down energy instead of heat. Heat will be a better term for this area.

In a sense, aluminium requires a larger amount of heat before the inccrement of 1 celcius takes place because of the larger specific heat (900 J kg-1 c-1, which means 900 joule for every one KG for each celcius of increment).

Gotta do abit more reading before I voice out my mind here. Don't wanna end up saying something wrong.

What sniper said is true.
In the very end, your heatsink is still sucking air from the surroundings. The least it'll be is reaching same temperatures as its surroundings. Which is rather, unrealistic.
(Am I right here sinper?)

As for watercooling... Wait, it's waay out from the topic.

Out of all your choices, the TT Tower 102 should be good enough for you. Despite being abit waay too large.
Ninja cost around RM150. Not sure if it's still selling around the forums though. Try getting it from elhh82. His is the Ninja Plus wihich SHOULD be around 180ringgit, or maybe he have some leftover stock for a cheaper price.
Or you can opt for the TT Sonic Tower. Not too bad as far as i know.

The thermalright SI 97 is a really good heatsink for socket 754.

That is, IF you can find it.
Else, I'll recommend you Hyper 6+. Pretty decent if you manage to get a cheap price for it.

Other than that, you can hit up Zalman sites to check check see see. Quite a few coolers still support 754.. just do abit of checking around will certainly help you expand your knowledge.

Try PM elhh82 or Rlhh see if they'll seperately bring it in for you

Time to do some modding?
I think ianho might be able to come out with some ideas of making a bracket for you.
He MIGHT la...

Try a reading with CoreTemp first.. You might get a more accurate result.

As long as your proc has that internal diode thingy, it would work I guess.
