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

| *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. |
The heat output from Intel processors varies, so
Frostytech tests with two thermal values that represent the upper limits of
existing CPU families; 85W and 150W.
With a 150W heat load applied by the Intel LGA775
version of FrostyTech's synthetic thermal test platform, the Glacialtech Igloo
5063 Cu Silent heatsink maintains a barely satisfactory rise over ambient
temperature of 57.3°C. This heat load is beyond the Igloo 5063 Cu's design spec
of a maximum thermal load of 95W, so bear that in mind.
When stressed with a heat load of 85W, the Glacialtech Igloo 5063 Cu
Silent E heatsink manages an average result of 34.4°C over ambient. Noise levels
were very low, just 41.0 dBA. Ultimately the results confirm that Glacialtech's Igloo 5063 Cu Silent E heatsink will keep
an energy efficient processor (TDP 85W or less) running with reasonable
temperatures.
