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. |
The heat output
from Intel processors varies, so Frostytech tests with two thermal values that
represent the upper limits of existing CPU families; 150W and 85W.
With a 150W heat load applied by the Intel
LGA775/1155/1156 version of FrostyTech's synthetic thermal test platform, the
DeepCool Ice Wind Pro heatsink maintains a very good temperature result of
18.6°C over ambient at stock fan speed (45.7dBA noise).
After the 120mm PWM fan is reduced to 700RPM, noise
levels fall to 31.4 dBA while CPU die temperature increases to an average 28.0°C
over ambient.
DeepCool's Ice Wind Pro heatsink was then tested with
an 85W heat load. Under these test conditions the Ice Wind Pro heatsink had no
problem maintaining a temperature of just 11.3°C over ambient at full fan speed
and 16.1°C over ambient at reduced fan speed.
Bottom line, the Deepcool Ice Wind Pro is a good tower
heatsink at stock fan speeds whose slim profile is less likely to interfere with
closely spaced tall memory modules. Recommended.
