Enzotech Heatsink Lineup MOSFETs come in all shapes and sizes. The electrical switching and power amplifying characteristics of the MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) creates some special thermal issues especially when you are overclocking. As such, frequently it is necessary to cool individual units that are mounted on VGA cards or motherboards.
The Enzotech MOS-C1 MOSFET Cooler Kit comes with ten individual Enzotech MOSFET heatsinks along with ten appropriately sized pieces of double sided thermal tape. These specific little heatsink are indeed little. You can get an idea of their small scale below.
Each unit is 100% solid copper with four 12mm cooling rods on each. While I couldn't get the "shaver" shot we've seen so far today because of these unit's small size, the lap job is very good. Not quite at the same level as the CNB-R1 but far more than adequate.
Enzotech BMR-C1 and BMR-C1L Memory Heatsinks If you are like me, you love BGA RAM sinks. I mount these on more hot spots than I can easily list. Enzotech's memory heatsinks have the same 100% copper with circular convection rods coming off the base. Two models are offered by Enzotech, the standard 14mm tall units and the low profile 9mm tall units. The heatsinks come packaged with double sided thermal tape pre-applied to the base of each sink.
Here are a few shots of the standard and low profile Enzotech memory heatsinks. Twenty-five convection rods per sink really make you appreciate the quality that goes into construction at Enzotech. For the overly curious, the standard 14x14x14mm unit tips the scale at 7gms while the low profile units are 14x14x9mm and weight 5gms.
Enzotech CNB-S1L, CNB-S1 and SLF-1 Chipset Coolers Enzotech also produces a number of basic chipset coolers. Their three most popular models are here below. These being the CNB-S1L, CNB-S1 and SLF-1. The 'L' designation as you have already figured out is for Low profile. I can think of a number of board requiring some extra cooling on the North or South bridge chipset that would create some real challenges. The ASUS P5N32-E SLI Deluxe comes immediately to mind where the Southbridge was situated below a second VGA card in SLI trim.
The CNB-S1 and CNB-S1L are the same sink with the exception of the height. The CNB-S1 measures 36x36x28mm and weighs 80gms whereas its little brother measures 36x36x12mm and weighs 50gms. The SLF-1 closely resembles the CNB-S1L except this is designed to be an active cooling solution. On top of the SLF-1 is an 8000 RPM fan that moves just under 5 CFM at a sound cost of 28dBA. This unit measures 37x37x14mm and weighs 51gms (with the fan). Each unit shares the same high efficiency convection rod design we've seen elsewhere today. Craftsmanship is superior and truly a pleasure to look at.
Each of these units attach via push pins by design that have two positions per side allowing a wider range of application. As with everything out of Enzotech, the lap job given is top shelf. Three more shavers for us. Closing Having had so many samples from a single manufacturer at one time shows me Enzotech's attention to detail is no fluke. Enzotech's heatsink line up shows both smart and efficient thinking in their designs. The convection rod design used maximizes surface area giving their products a bit of an edge over others. The lapping of the base while pleasure to look at shows us that we are going to have a perfect mating surface between heatsink and heat source. Products at this level say one thing about a
manufacturer; Pride. Pride in a product, its craftsmanship and purpose.
There are a number of other Enzotech heatsink products on the market we didn't
look at today. Most of these and others can be found at a number of online
resellers online to include
Sidewinder Computers. Thanks go out to Enzotech for giving us an
opportunity to look over some of their handiwork.
