Initial synthetic temperature
test results peg the Arkua 728M-7N01 as a pretty average socket 462
cooler. Given the small size of this tiny extruded heatsink this is not altogether surprising, but I did
expect it to place a little higher up in the reference list to be honest.

Looking
at the final rise above ambient temperature results the Arkua 728M-7N01 places
towards the lower half of the 
reference
list, but given that there are so many heatsinks in the same results range it
basically gets this heatsink and average rating (instead of OEM).
Arkua
have been using this design for some time, and while we have seen the merits of
it in the past, it appears to have become slightly dated. Skived fin heatsinks,
and high density copper fin arrays have become the standard of this year, so
perhaps the days of the plain extruded aluminum heatsink are really numbered
after all?
While the
Arkua 728-7N01 is far from a bad performer on the temperature test platform, we
are left a little wanting. In the end, the 728M-7N01 manages to cool well, and
without to much noise. Such traits can only hope to earn it a spot in a typical
non-enthusiast PC, and perhaps even one with a cooler run processor down below.
In other words, the Arkua 728M-7N01 performs good, but just doesn't have it in
it to perform great.
