Some manufacturers have managed to rework their heatsink kits to include new components for 1366 compatibility while others have released new models for the Core-i7 processors and today we have four of these products on our test bench.

Very cool. Not really all the coolers

Great review Stu and the AMA Aragon 900 certainly stole the show. Be nice to see the pricepoint on this one. The air coolers seemed to perform well overall.

The only question I really have is why the Domino A.L.C. wasn't included in this review as it has already been tested and reviewed on DH?

The other thing for me personally is observation on how the 1366 mobo has changed in layout especially the RAM. NB and SB placement.

Fair enough thanks for the response

Aah, ok. Nice review

, too bad the Mugen 2 wasn't included, it's one of the most popular S1366 coolers here in Holland. Especially the price is quite interesting (~35 euro w/ fan).

Hey mousey,

Yeah certainly some nice temps but if you look at the components included with the kit you're talking about quite a bit of money involved.

Unfortunately the AMA isn't for sale anywhere but you can find the parts individually if you want, although I can imagine that if the kit goes for sale anywhere it will offer some sort of a discount when compared to buying the parts standalone.

Then the reservoir will run you £20-£30 and the radiator could be £30-£60 depending on the model and where you buy it from, then you have to add in tubing, coolant, hose clamps etc. etc.
