The Heatsink Fan:
The 25x80x80mm fan spins at a fixed 2000RPM, and
is not PWM or thermally responsive. Power is supplied by a
standard 3-pin motherboard fan header. The seven bladed impeller is not protected by a
fan grill. |
|
Heatsink Top: At the center of the extruded aluminum fins
is a 28.8mm diameter copper slug. This cylinder of copper stops 16mm
short of the top of the heatsink body, which is 36mm thick. The
walls of the central aluminum "block" range from ~2-7mm thick, so thermal
conduction is apt to be constrained in some areas. Each aluminum fin is
0.5mm thick and radiates out ~29mm from the center. The thin fins are spaced about
0.8mm at the base, nearly 3mm at the tips. |
|
Heatsink Side A: Standing 70mm high, the Glacialtech
Igloo 5062 Cu Light uses a tool-free clipping system. The clip locks
into the PCB holes which surround the LGA775 Intel processor socket.
|
|
Heatsink Side B: The fan attaches at
four points to little flanges which are outside the main body of the heatsink.
The clips are attached to two steel brackets which are screwed into
the body of the Glacialtech Igloo 5062 Cu Light heatsink. Brackets for other
CPU sockets are not included. |
|
Heatsink Base: The base of the Glacialtech Igloo 5062 Cu Light
heatsink is machined perfectly flat in both axis. A patch of grey thermal
compound is applied by the manufacturer to the copper base which is
exactly 28mm in diameter. Surface roughness is equivalent to ~16
microinches, which is considered excellent. |
