The ThermoEngine heat sink has becoming a big hit in a lot of cases. This
unique heat sink has emerged from no where, and has sparked a light in many
people's cases. This type of heat sink has brought new meaning in cooling
computers for a very affordable price. This shootout takes a look into two
Ultra Performance Thermo's and decides which is a better choice using both
the Delta 38CFM and YS-Tech 40CFM fans.

"The heat sink is very impressive with the unique design compared to all
those other heat sinks on the market. When reviewing and doing my research
on the heat sink, I discovered the ThermoEngine has a solid center, with the
fins being cut around the solid center. Also there's the intake cover, the
fan is screwed down onto the heat sink, resting within the intake cover. The
fan is set to blow downwards along the fins of the heat sinks and
dissipating all the heat. This design is perfect for airflow from the fan."

"The performance of the cooler was astonishing. I didn't believe my eyes
when I saw the outcome. Not only does it perform well, but it looks sweet
too. At full load the temperature of the CPU is 36.5°C and temperature of
the case is 33°C. Also at idle temperatures the CPU temperature is 32°C and
case is 31°C. These results are with a Delta fan, and I'm thinking if we use
the one that came stock with it I believe the results would have been in the
40's."
