The initial
test results for the Thermal Integration TI-RV104N are excellent! By the look of those synthetic
temperature test numbers, the TI-RV104N will be one of the best performance
heatsinks for the Pentium 4 platform we have tested to
date. Let's skip ahead to the final rise above ambient test results
to see how this heatsink really performs!

As they say, "test results are worth a thousand words." Looking at
the temperature results for the Thermal Integration
TI-RV104N on the 100W synthetic temperature test, we can plainly see
that this is a high level performance heatsink for the Pentium 4 socket 478
platform.
Apart from the design of the heatsink, with its
39mm copper core and bifurcated extruded aluminum fins, the other main benefit
is how the cooler exhausts air directly over the processor. This added bit of
cooling may not seem as important as that which is accomplished with the copper
and aluminum, but I think this is the edge that puts the TI-RV104N so close to
the top.
Were the heatsink a little less
noisy - say in the 40 dB range, it would be a winner on all fronts. Still, even
though we are speaking about upwards of 53dBA of sound, the Thermal Integration
TI-RV104N heatsink would definitely make a superb heatsink choice for anyone
looking to keep temperatures down low, irregardless of noise levels.
