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 processors, 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 test platform, the Coolermaster Hyper 212 heatsink certainly
doesn't give much ground... The heatsink holds steady with a rise
above ambient temperature of just 19.0°C, with 45.9dBA noise. That makes the
Coolermaster Hyper 212 one of the Top 5 Intel heatsinks Frostytech has tested to date
(tied along with Zalman and Apack heatsinks), and one of the Top 10
AMD heatsinks!
Next
an 85W heat load was applied for the second LGA775 synthetic thermal
test. The Coolermaster Hyper 212 maintained a rise above ambient temperature of just 11.8°C. Once again,
a great performance from this single-fan heatsink from Coolermaster. Recommended, in spite of the
inconvenient mounting hardware.
