125w thermal test
(°c) |
noise level (dba) |
| *heatsinks are ranked according
to the 125w 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. |
with a 125w heat load applied by the frostytech amd
synthetic thermal test platform, the glacialtech igloo h58 heatsink yields a
very good temperature result of 13.2°c over ambient at stock fan speed (46.4dba
noise). with it's 140mm fan spinning more slowly, (700RPM / 31.0 dbA) the
Igloo H58 heatsink maintains an average temperature result of 22.0°C
over ambient.
We'll hold off on our conclusions until the results for
Intel version of FrostyTech's synthetic thermal test platform are in. That's
next!
