Lighting Passive heatsinks eu

[2Stoned2Care]

Well like other eu members i have been very dissapointed with the lack of passive heatsinks in the eu and its just not worth the hassle of buying from the usa because shipping and import tax is ridiculous and then the worry of will it even get here,so i have been searching and searching for passive heatsinks in the uk for ages and just gave up and bought a length of heatsink.now heres where it gets interesting,i build and repair computers for myself and friends.my poor pc has had no love and care for over a year so i decided to give her some love and attention and the first thing i wanted was a new cpu cooler because i am sick of the huge noisy thing in my case.i was going to go liquid cooling but then i came upon a new passive cpu cooler which looks fantastic but not cheap.so @BigSm0 what do you think of this badboy for a cob cooler :smoking:

EDIT they are not new they have been around for years lol

If they are easy to buy I would absolutely give it a shot. You don't have to be by the book on cooling as much as make proper tests. The electronics part of it yes that's serious. My suggestion which I have followed is try it and start small. Check recheck and test it. I'm not familiar with these but I was not familiar with my last heatsinks and they registered 102f as a high temp in a stagnant room. Remember to be safe this is not a toy in essence.

I do not know if this will help and they ship world wide. I like how they convert your money and even added my provincial sales tax in quote unreal http://www.cutter.com.au/ it is Australia but when in a pinch. There prices seem fair and shipping could be no more than China @2Stoned2Care

We have another problem in EU - importing taxes. 25% of price for me. Plus shipping.
