Today I will be testing my second Spire heat sink, the SkiveStream II. The SkiveStream II is a heat sink targeted towards the silent heat sink users and mainstream users. Spire’s all copper stamped fins and nickel coating processes are used in the SkiveStream II. Being all copper it doesn’t dissipate the heat as fast as it draws the heat in. The stamped fin process results in micro fins. This way you can fit more fins to the base, making more surface area for the heat to dissipate. The nickel coating is used to fill in any imperfections from the copper block and the stamped fin process, as a bonus it makes for a nice finish.
