FrostyTech Mk.III Synthetic Thermal
Heatsink Test Results - 200W
Intel
Core i7, Extreme Edition class heatsinks tested at a 200W heat
load.
Results based on readings from a 38x38mm copper
interface die with 200W heat load on the Intel version of the Mk.III
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. |

200w thermal test (°c) |
noise level
(dba) |
| *heatsinks are ranked according to the 200w 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. |
Frostytech's socket LGA2011 Intel synthetic thermal test
platform stresses socket LGA2011/1366 compatible heatsinks with a 200W heat
load. The AMD Integrated Heat Spreader and Intel LGA2011 Integrated Heat
Spreader both measure ~38x38mm, so these test results can be extrapolated to AMD
processor scenario's as well.
With a
200W heat load applied by the Intel LGA2011/1366 version of FrostyTech's synthetic thermal test platform, Silverstone's TD02 CPU
liquid cooling system was able to maintain a test temperature of just 13.6°C
over ambient at stock fan speed. Reducing the speed of the Tundra TD02's twin
120mm PWM fans to 1500RPM saw test temperatures rise to 15.3°C over ambient.
In a market overly saturated with self contained liquid
cooling systems, the Silverstone Tundra TD02 CPU liquid cooler manages to stand out
design-wise while offering very good thermal performance. The Tundra TD02 is
well worth considering if your PC system can accommodate its large 240mm
(nominal) heat exchanger.
