Vantec has long been a good manufacturer of heatsinks for this I will be reviewing the Vantec CCK-6035D here are some of the specifications.

Heat Sink Dimension: 65.0 x 64.0 x 39.0 (mm)
Fan Dimension: 60.0 x 60.0 x 25.0 (mm)
Outline Dimension: 78.0 x 64.0 x 64.0 (mm)
Bearing Type: Two Ball Bearing
Clip: CLP508
Weight: 386.0 (gm)
Thermal Resistance: 0.29°C/W
The fan is a 60mm Delta here are the specs of it
Fan Size(mm): 60.0 x 60.0 x 25.0 (mm)
Fan Speed(RPM): 6800
Air Flow(CFM): 37.6
Noise Level(dBA): 46.5
The 6035D HSF comes in the typical Vantec box
The heatsink comes with a free 3-4 pin adapter, and “white goop” thermal compound
I took the heatsink apart; here is the Delta with all its markings
Here is the top of the heatsink with the fan removed, nice and shiny.
The Vantec CCK-6035D has 34 thin fins you can also see the retention clip.
The bottom of the heatsink is well finished and reflective. There is really no need for lapping.
During the installation I was disappointed because it was very difficult to install the HSF and the clip hurt my finger a lot. I would liked to have seen a better clip on this HSF however after trying about 10 times I finally got it on. Also always be sure to use a 3-4 pin adapter with this fan, it draws enough power to burn out one of your motherboard headers. Now for the testing.
Test Bed
- MSI KT7 Pro 2-A
- Duron 800Mhz
- 512MB PC133 RAM
- Asus v7700 Geforce 2 GTS
- 300w Antec PSU
Again like always I will be using the external thermal probe to take the temperatures. Also I will be using Artic Silver 3 rather than the “white goop.” I let the computer idle for about 30 minutes and took the readings. I then used Prime95 to torture test the CPU and bring it to its load temperature, here are the results.
Conclusion
Overall I would say this is a pretty good heatsink for your Socket A or Socket 370 CPU, however I would like to have seen a better clip on it. The fan as you may know is very loud but the noise produces good results. Also the fact that you get a free 3-4 pin adapter and thermal compound makes it a good buy for someone who may not have either of these. I would like to thanks ColdCPU for sending them over, head on over and pick one up.
Pros
- Good performance
- Well priced
- Free 3-4 pin adapter for the Delta
- Free thermal compound
- Fan grill included
Cons
- Poor clip design
- Delta is loud
