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 so FrostyTech tests each
heatsink with two thermal loads that represent the upper limits of current CPU
families; 150W and 85W.
With a
150W heat load applied by the Intel LGA1156/1155/775 version of FrostyTech's synthetic thermal test platform, the 160mm tall
Silverstone Heligon HE01 heatsink was able to maintain a very good temperature
result of 18.1°C over ambient at stock fan speed (60.1 dBA). Decreasing the
speed of the Heligon's 140x38mm fan to 800RPM reduced noise output greatly,
however CPU die temperature increased to 24.8°C over ambient as a
result.
Silverstone's Heligon HE01 heatsink was next tested
with an 85W heat load. Under this test scenario the Heligon HE01 cooler was able
to maintain a very good temperature result of 11.0°C over ambient at stock fan
speed and 14.8°C over ambient at its reduced fan speed of 800RPM (40.1 dBA).
Ultimately, where 160-180mm tall Intel tower heatsinks
are concerned (specifically, about 55 models in the above Intel reference
chart), the Silverstone Heligon HE01 heatsink comes in middle of the pack in
terms of thermal performance. However, as we saw in the previous page of this
CPU cooler review, the Silverstone Heligon HE01 heatsink excels to a much
loftier position when cooling the large 37.5 x 37.5mm IHS of AMD processors.
Where AMD processor cooling is concerned, the Silverstone Heligon HE01 is an
excellent choice.
On a final note, given that Intel's LGA2011
SandyBridge-E CPUs are equipped with a 38x38mm integrated heat spreader, we have
to wonder how the Silverstone Heligon HE01 heatsink will handle in this
processor environment... Drop us a line and be the first to know
when this review is updated with LGA2011 thermal test results, in October.
