I am not sure about that, but today I have two coolers designed and built by them which many people love and will love, the XP-90 and the XP-90C, which are very sought after within the overclockering crowd.

This answered a good question for me. Everyone knows copper conducts heat better than aluminum -- but how much better? It's nice to have two otherwise identical heatsinks (as in this review) to find out.

P.S. Like the Zalman 7000's, these will also work on Intel's new Socket T (LGA 775) processors by using an adapter.
