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 5710 Silent heatsink is able to
maintain a temperature of 29.4°C over ambient, with 43.4dBA noise.
An 85W heat load applied was applied next, and under this test environment the Glacialtech
Igloo 5710 Silent heatsink kept temperatures to 18.0°C over ambient.
In terms of thermal performance, the Glacialtech Igloo
5710 Silent performs very well for its class. Clearly, this is a basic
heatsink better suited to workstation PCs which will never know the word
"overclocking", and in that respect it's economical footprint makes it a good
heatsink. On the AMD K8 platform the Glacialtech Igloo 5710 Silent comes in
about middle of the reference list, with moderate sound output.
The same holds true when compared against a range of socket 775 Intel heatsinks,
as the Igloo 5710 silent manages sub 30°C over ambient
test results!
