Jetart JAKS29
Heatsink From All Angles |
|
The Fan:
The seven
bladed impeller on this
25mm thick YS Tech fan generates roughly 55.8dB of noise according to our real-world measurements.
The fan grill looks nice, and helps to prevent stray wires from
getting stuck in the impeller which rotates at 5000 RPM. The fan connects to
standard 3-pin fan header on the motherboard, and supports RPM monitoring.

Heatsink Top: The clip mechanism hides between the fins
instead of sitting in a 6mm wide clearing. With more fins running directly over
where the heatsink comes in contact with the processor, the JAKS29 should have an edge. Each fin
measures roughly 0.3mm thick, and are spaced 1mm
apart. |

Side A:
The 70mm fan attaches to the aluminum shroud with
screws, and is held 3.5mm above the tips of the 45 copper fins for
better airflow characteristics. Since the base of the heatsink is 70x60mm
is size, the aluminum shroud bows out at the top to
accommodate the 70mm fan size. There is a square hole in the
base of the fins, but we can only assume that this is for another
version of this heatsink as it serves no purpose on the JAKS29.

Side B:
Jetart have equipped the JAKS29 with a tool free clip
which is a relief from so many other heatsinks which require the use of
a screwdriver. The clip applies pressure to the heatsink with
two slim lengths of metal that sit between the fins. In this way, there
is no reason to remove any fins to make room for the clip on the
heatsink. The copper base plate measures 4.5mm thick.

Base:
A highly finished base can go a
long way to improving the overall efficiency of a heatsink. In this regard
the Jetart JAKS29 handle things pretty well. The base is super smooth, and nice and
flat over the mounting area.
