FrostyTech Mk.II Synthetic Thermal
Heatsink Test Results
AMD FX,
Phenom II, Athlon II/64/FX/X2, Sempron class heatsinks tested at a
125W heat load.
Results based on readings from a 38x38mm
copper interface die with 125W heat load on the AMD 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 amd version of the
frostytech synthetic thermal test platform, the scythe ninja 4 heatsink yields a
good, but average temperature test result of 22.7°c over ambient at full fan
speed (43.2 dba noise).
slowing the 120mm fan from 1500rpm to 600rpm lowers
noise levels greatly (37.9 dba), but as a result of insufficient airflow through
the ninja 4's 122mm-deep aluminum cooling fin array, test temperatures increase
to 30.6°C over ambient.
Frostytech's 150W synthetic thermal test results for the
Intel LGA115x/775 processor is next.
