There are some little problems with this test:
1. Where were the true giants from Thermalright, Coolermaster and the Tuniq Tower?
2. The Enzotec performs well , but that is no news....Thermalright Si-128 rings a bell? 4 heatpipes....8mm thick....similar desing....I think that anyone sees the resemblance. And I think that we all know how efficient the SI-128 cand be.
3. Try using a REAL thermal compound, like Arctic Cooling AS5.
4. Why all the fans and all the fan speeds....is that the way to compare heatsinks, with diferent fans at diferent speeds? If you want to test the heatsink-fan pair as it comes out the box, do that, but afterwards USE THE SAME FAN, at the same speed for all the coolers. That is the only way to compare heatsinks...Let me give you an example....If I use a Schyte Infinity with 2x120/120/38mm Delta or Sunon >100cfm fans, set at the highest speed in push/pull configuration....Do you actualy think that the Enzotec, with it's stock fan would be able to put up a fight....Of course it wouldn't, but that wouldn't be fair....Well, it's not fair how you compared the heatsinks, if you ask me.
The review is nice, but you should pay more attention to those details that make the difference.

This:
"I have 4522 sq. mm for the 6mm cylinder and 6029 sq. mm for the 8mm cylinder."
Should read:
"I have 4522 cu. mm for the 6mm cylinder and 6029 cu. mm for the 8mm cylinder."
And this comment:
"It means that, the length being the same, the area of one 8mm pipe of the Enzotech Ultra-X is 33.3% larger than that of a 6mm pipe of the Thermaltake Big Typhoon."
is essentially worthless because after all of your volume calculations, you are simply coming to the conclusion that 8 is 33% more than 6. 6*1.333 does indeed equal 8. Not interesting.

If compare sub par coolers to other sub par coolers who cares! Where is the thermal right ultra-120, where is the ultra-90 where is the xp-90. The xp-90 is the original standard. Venessa makes a nice cooler too!
We already zalman is overpriced junk its more then the ultra-120 which i am sure is better then all the coolers in this test!
Nice test! Godd job - please add some better cooler to the program next time!

How does Tuniq Tower compare to these???
I'm sure Tuniq Tower is better than the Enzotech Ultra-X....... hmmm....

You mention that the Enzotech installation is wobbly. It explicitly states in the manual NOT to use the stock K8 retention mechanism, but use their's instead. It is thinner, and because of the the HSF makes tighter contact with the CPU.
