PEP66T
The PEP66T is the FIN heatsink and the more
impressive looking of the two coolers. It looks like a chopped down Alpha P125.
There are a total of 88 fins to get rid of the heat. This cooler looks bigger
than the PIN Alpha but because the PIN Alpha packs so many pins the surface area
of both heastsinks is most likely the same.
The clip used on these new Coppermine coolers
is much better than what Alpha used to give. These new clips are stronger and
hold the heatsink to the CPU much tighter.
Here you can see how the PIN Alpha mounts onto the slotket. In a
way, this is very much like a mini version of the Alpha P125. Because the fan is
on top of the cooler, you shouldn't have problems clearing your motherboard DIMM
slots. However, the pins were so long they still block off one DIMM slot on our
Tyan motherboard. That's still better than blocking off two. The FIN Alpha
cleared all the DIMM slots in the BE6 and BX6-II.
