FrostyTech Mk.III Synthetic Thermal
Heatsink Test Results
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. |

*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/LGA1366 compatible heatsinks with a 200W
heat load. Keep in mind that 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, the Dynatron G666 2U Xeon server heatsink was able to
maintain a satisfactory temperature result of 31.8°C over ambient, at stock fan
speed (8000RPM / 68.7 dBA). For a heatsink that is designed to tackle a 130W TDP
thermal envelope, the Dynatron G666 2U Xeon server heatsink holds up, very very
loudly.
