FrostyTech Mk.II Synthetic Thermal
Heatsink Test Results
Intel
Core Extreme / Pentium D & Quad Core class heatsinks tested at
150W
Intel Core i5 / Core i3 / 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
LGA775/1156 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 models, so FrostyTech tests
heatsinks with two thermal loads that represent the upper limit of each CPU
family; 150W and 85W.
With a
150W heat load applied by the Intel
LGA1155/1156/775 version of FrostyTech's synthetic thermal test
platform, the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo heatsink yields a result of 15.9°C over
ambient at stock fan speed, with a moderately audible 47.1dBA noise.
The Hyper
212 Evo heatsink was then tested with a reduced fan speed of 600RPM, which
resulted in an average 34.8°C rise over ambient temperature and reduction in
noise to 30.0 dBA.
On the
85W heat load test, Coolermaster's Hyper 212 Evo heatsink maintained a 9.3°C
rise over ambient at stock fan speed and 18.1°C over ambient at a reduced fan
speed.
Given
that the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo follows in the footsteps of
quite a few exposed heatpipe heatsinks, these results are not too surprising.
The 120mm fan Coolermaster supply with the Hyper 212 Evo is rated for 25-83CFM,
at full speed it's easy to live with.
If you
happen to have an energy efficient processor (85W or 65W TDP) you'll get the
best of both worlds by running the Hyper 212 Evo at reduced fan speeds where
operation is essentially silent. In any event, the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo is
an economical and well performing tower heatsink.
