nPowerTek NPH-1366-115HC Heatsink Review
  75%   
Abstract: At the center of the NPH-1366-115HC heatsink is nPowertek's proprietory copper heat column - essentially a 33mm diameter copper heatpipe. The inner walls and base of the heat column are covered by a sintered metal wick and the contents under vacuum with a small amount of working fluid.

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.

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/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 nPowerTek NPH-1366-115HC heatsink is able to maintain an average temperature result of 28.7°C over ambient at stock fan speed (3000RPM / 44.8 dBA). Slowing the 92mm fan to a speed of 1500RPM caused test temperatures to rise to an unsatisfactory 42.7°C over ambient.

NpowerTek's NPH-1366-115HC socket LGA1366 heatsink is designed for 150W TDP Intel processors, considering the results it yielded on a 200W heat load, the thermal solution seems capable at stock fan speed. Slowing the fan down proved to be unsuitable, however.
