Right, futhermore the Scythe Infinity are missing and the SL-128, all of them are better than the best sink they have listed. The mentioned is nonsense.

however we finally got them in stock today and we are currently processing
all backorders, will have all orders dispatched by tomorrow."

finally. after.. 3 weeks. and much hair pulling as to who this coolpc mob is who just took my $100 (bought AS5 too), its.. coming. still. Assuming they shipped it already, (order status hasnt changed) it should be here by latest friday. I keep tellingmyself ><"

In the same boat myself ... need to get a new HSF urgently. Been looking at the SI-128 and maybe this fan http://www.pccasegear.com.au/prod4538.htm
What do you guys think?

Question; Is the SI-128 superior then the ThermalTake Typhoon VX? How does it compare cost wise, installation setup?

NO, absolutely NOT. I am utterly dissapointed with this sink. It's clealry not up to high thermal load. I have a SL-128, a BT, and an Infinity. If I use all these sinks with the same 120x35 mm fan, the SL-128 is under full load clealry the worst.

- Quad Core QX6700 2.66@3500 Mhz
- vcore 1.4 volt
- PCB mounted on open tray
- Ambiente around 24C
- all 4 cores running at full load (folding)

Infinity: 65C
BT: 69C
SL-128: 78C

Last weekend, actually initiated by your results - after I got these really bad SL-128 results. The Infinity is even much cheaper than the SL-128. Interesting to analyze why the SL-128 is so badly performing under extreme thermal load. I think the SL-128 4-heat pipe design, even though the pipes are much "thicker" than regular ones, is inferior to 6 or even 8 heat pipes. It's definitely not a matter of the surface, because it appears to me the SL-128 has even a slightly bigger surface than the Big Typhoon.

If possible, consider the Infinity. Under heavy laod it performs slightly better than the BT and (here) it is cheaper.
