The initial are good for the GlacialTech Igloo 4300 cooler. It performs in a very good range of heatsinks and this means it should have a lot to offer despite its very simple and straight-forward design. Let's jump ahead and find out for sure.

True enough the GlacialTech Igloo 4300 offers us some pretty good Pentium 4 cooling. I think the noise levels may be a bit higher than what most of us would like, but for a cooler which comes across as and OEM solution the results are pretty impressive. With its machined base and thin, yet speedy fan, the Glacialtech heatsink is able to offer good cooling for low cost.
