FrostyTech Mk.II Synthetic Thermal
Heatsink Test Results
AMD
Phenom II, Athlon II/64/FX/X2, Sempron class heatsinks
Results based on readings from a 38x38mm copper
interface die with 125W heat load on the K8 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. |

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 thermaltake frio advanced heatsink yields
an average temperature result of 19.6°c over ambient at full fan speed (58.8
dba).
after reducing the speed of both fans from 2000rpm to
800rpm, test temperatures increase to 23.0°c over ambient while noise output
decreases to a fairly quiet 43.5 dba.
test results for this heatsink on the intel version of frostytech's synthetic
thermal test platform are up next.
