FrostyTech Mk.II
Synthetic Thermal Heatsink Test Results
Intel Pentium D / Extreme
Edition & Quad Core class heatsinks tested at 150W
Intel Core
2 Duo / Pentium 4 / Celeron class heatsinks tested at
85W
Results based on readings
from a 30x30mm copper interface die with 150W and 85W heat loads
applied on the LGA775 version of the Mk.II Test Platform.
Temperature results listed for each heatsink were calculated by
determining the rise over ambient temperatures at time of test.

| *heatsinks are ranked according to
the 150w thermal test results column (rise over ambient temp.). low
temperatures with low noise levels are considered best. for reference
heatsinks with variable-speed fans, only the high speed (12v) fan test
result is included in the comparison sheet; more detailed results reside
in each specific heatsink review. |
Intel processors vary in power output
between single and multi-core models, so FrostyTech tests heatsinks with two thermal
loads that represent the upper limit of each CPU family.
With a 150W heat load applied by the Intel LGA775
version of FrostyTech's
synthetic thermal test platform, the Glacialtech Igloo 5610 Silent heatsink was able
to maintain a temperature of 30.4°C over ambient, with 44.7dBA noise.
With an 85W heat load applied, the Glacialtech
Igloo 5610 Silent heatsink held steady with a competitive 17.1°C rise over ambient temperature.
Compared to its identical twin
brother, the Igloo 5610 PWM model operates slightly cooler, but is penalized by a louder fan (which rotates faster too).
In terms of thermal performance, the Glacialtech Igloo
5610 Silent performs about middle of the road in this reference list. The Igloo
5610 Silent is ultimately a satisfactory heatsink for the Intel
processor platform.
