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.

CoolJag CJC665C Review
Author: Dennis Garcia
Published: Thursday, October 09, 2003
Conclusion
This is the second CoolJag heatsink reviewed here at Ninjalane and I am quite surprised with the CJC665C. The mounting system is of a non-standard design and requires some effort to install though the process isn't very complicated. Even though the included metal back plate would imply that the clips exert a great deal of force, the heatsink actually sits quite loose once installed.
Fan placement complements the skived heatsink by providing a decent amount of airflow with a minimal amount of noise. Though what really impressed me the most was how the heatsink remained cool to the touch, even under heavy load. The benchmarks and C/W calculations help to reaffirm this showing that the CJC665C is an excellent high-performance replacement for just about any Pentium 4 system.
