Basically, im looking for a heatsink that meets the following criteria:
-Can handle moderate amounts of heat(Eg- Quadcore)
-Not already lapped
-Copper base

Need something that is a tower style heatsink like the arctic cooling freezer series, zalman, etc. Not looking to spend a whole lot, maybe $10-15 shipped.

Basically i need a heatsink i can modify the mounting system for the synthetic test bed i am creating for thermal interface materials so that an equal amount of pressure is used each time every time. The Xigmateks are a great example of the sort of heatsink i am looking for(except without exposed heatpipes)

Dont need a fan, mounting hardware, etc.

If interested....i have a semi- lapped S1283 with AMD mounting hardware that i can trade(includes amd mounting hardware only, no fan clips included so you would need to use zip ties or etc)

So you don't want to lap the S1283?

What about this heatsink? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835708001

No, thats not what im getting at. I need a solid base as the S1283 has those aluminum pieces between them where thermal interface material can collect in pretty large amounts. Im trying to do testing as scientifically as possible, which is why i need a solid base. Im looking mainly for something used that isnt being used right now and i can get for cheap as im already going to be spending over $100 between a dedicated power supply, peltier, mounting hardware, thermal adhesive, thermocouples, etc.
 
Okay, I have no idea what you're describing to me, but I probably don't have one.

But you should show an example picture to be more clear.

Heatpipes=Exposed=Not flat

However, the xigmatek is a tower style cooler(Base with heatpipes that go to a set of fins) which is what i am looking for. An Arctic cooling freezer or similar would be pretty much ideal for my testing.
 
Surprised nobody here has any spare heatsinks they wanna sell. I dont need anything fancy....just something tower style with a copper base.

Scythe Ninja?

Dont think a scythe ninja would work out well for my. I actually need one that has heatpipes on just two sides, as im going to be running thermal interface material tests, and am going to modify the mounting system so it is just a 3/8th"x1" aluminum or stainless metal bar, then use clamps at a set pressure.

Have you looked at Coolermaster's store? They have a bunch of "Refurbished" items for cheap. I used to use the Hyper TX2...it a decent heat sink. Kept my Q9300 at good temps for almost 9 months. It has a copper base plate like you need. It's 92mm so it is easy to handle and fits on everything.

Didnt even think to look there....ill check it out.

From the looks of it... the hyper 212 would be ideal if anyone has similar:
