Coolink U2P Heatsink Review
  84%   
Abstract: Built with a body of nickel plated 6063-T5 extruded aluminum and a 2mm thick C1100 copper base, the Coolink U2P already seems pretty formidable by description alone.

Coolink U2P From All Angles

The Fan: YS-Tech make this massive fan which draws upwards of 0.63A of power. This should be fine to hook up to most mainboards directly, but to be safe the fan connects via a standard Molex pass through cable. A separate three-pin connector is used to connect to the motherboard fan header so that RPM signals are still registered by the BIOS. The fan is held in place by a wire bracket.

Top: The fin structure of the Coolink U2P is pretty standard stuff. A few fins with no cross cuts and a single one-tab clip. The aluminum fins are all plated in nickel, and the heights of the tips range by a few millimeters. The two surface cuts on either side of the clip are for the wires which hold the fan in place.

Side A: The wire clip hooks into the frame of the heatsink to securely hold the large fan in place. Because of this type of mechanism it is not as easy to replace the fan with something smaller, or larger for that matter. The single clip used to hold the Coolink U2P on a Socket A processor is tool based and easy enough to engage.
Side B:
The fins vary in height by 3mm at the tips. The fins are 1mm thick and spaced about 2mm apart. Springing up 30mm from the 6mm thick & 3mm thick copper base the fins are all nickel plated, but smooth surfaced.

Heatsink Base:

The copper base is soldered to the rest of the heatsink and offers a fairly level and smooth mounting surface. The processor really only needs a small amount of thermal compound to make good contact with the copper surface.
