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. Information on Frostytech's test
methodology is available here. |

| *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 Thermalright MST-9775 LE heatsink holds steady with a
rise above ambient temperature of 33.8°C, with 46.5dBA noise. This is a fairly
average result for this list of reference heatsinks.
Next an
85W heat load was applied for the second LGA775 synthetic thermal test. The
Thermalright MST-9775 LE maintained a rise above ambient temperature of 20.0°C.
Once again, an average result that positions the Thermalright MST-9775 LE towards
the bottom 1/3 of Intel heatsinks Frostytech has tested.
