the heat output from intel processors varies widely between single and multi-core processors, so frostytech tests heatsinks with two thermal values which represent the upper limits of each breed. to start with, a 150w heat load was applied by the intel lga775 version of frostytech's synthetic thermal test platform. At stock fan speed the Coolink Silentator heatsink held steady with a rise above ambient temperature of 23.5°C (41.2dBA). The speed of the 120mm fan on the Coolink Silentator heatsink was then reduced to about 900RPM. With a reduced fan speed noise levels fell to 32.5 dBA, and the test temperature rose to 30.9°C over ambient. A 85W heat load was selected for the next round of tests on the Frostytech Mrk.II synthetic thermal test platform. The Coolink Silentator heatsink maintained a temperature of 16.4°C over ambient at default fan speed, and 19.9°C at its reduced fan speed. The combination of a copper base and three heatpipes to disperse CPU heat over a large 126 x 112mm surface area ensure the Coolink Silentator heatsink performs well. Add to that a quiet 120mm fan that operates under 42 dBA and you've got yourselves the makings of a great CPU cooler. Although it's tough not to notice that the Coolink Silentator heatsink performs commandingly well on the AMD K8 platform, the reduced contact area of the Intel integrated heatspreader seems to be at odds with the Silentator heatsink. For this processor platform the results are quite good, but not top of its class. All that aside, the Coolink Silentator heatsink still makes a great low noise cooling solution which is capable of keeping a processor running cool with less than 42 dBA noise output. That's something we can certainly appreciate. Related Articles: For more
