DeepCool IceWind Pro and the DFI LanParty Rig


OK, so as I referenced in a couple of previous articles, I am working on an old DFI LanParty Ultra-D motherboard rig and seeing how it compares to an old ASRock 939Dual-Sata2 motherboard as well as an old ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard in terms of performance and see how it has held up over the years. To help with overclocking, I purchased a DeepCool (or Logisys if you want to go by the brand that acquired them) IceWind Pro heat-sink. This heat-sink I purchased was 35 dollars and has heat pipe direct touch or HDT technology. This is where the heat pipes are in direct contact with the CPU allowing for better heat transfer rather than the heat pipes being soldered to the base of the heat-sink and the base of the heat-sink has to transfer the heat from the CPU to the heat pipes (which is less efficient in heat transfer).
