[H]ard does some cooling action.
Finally, what's going to be the biggest factor for many of us is cost. While the SLK-800 is still not yet in the retail channel here in the States, Thermalright did let us know that their target MSRP was US$44.95. This puts the SLK-800 right between the prices I got from their competitors' websites. The Swifty sells for around US$53 while the PAL 8045 can be found for under US$40. All of these prices are sans fan! We all tend to know that MSRP prices usually end up being a bit high compared to what's paid online, and I would not hesitate to guess that we might see the SLK-800 come in at or below the current PAL 8045 price. No, these heatsinks are not inexpensive, but the SLK-800 seems to be far from costing a lot considering what you're getting for your dollar. Damn, for a piece of copper
