After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Auras T6C Golden Heatsink Review
Author: Dennis Garcia
Published: Tuesday, October 28, 2003
Conclusion
When I look at the Auras T6C Golden heatsink I can't help but think of the original Thermoengine. The design called for a square radial fin heatsink with a hollow center chamber. The hollow chamber was designed to act like a small heat pipe by constantly heating and cooling the contained air. In effect the same is true of the Auras T6C, the heat pipes provide an engine for the heat transfer and are orientated in such a way to resemble a piece of industrial art. Combine that with the fancy LED fan and you get a stylish heatsink that should light up just about any case.
The Good Things
