FrostyTech Mk.II Synthetic Thermal
Heatsink Test Results - 150W/85W
Intel
Core Extreme / Pentium D & Quad Core class heatsinks tested at
150W head load.
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
LGA1150/1155/1156/775 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. |
with 150w
heat load applied by the intel lga115x/775 version of frostytech's synthetic thermal test platform, the low profile Noctua
NH-L9x65 heatsink yields an average temperature result of 31.7°C over ambient,
with 46.1dBA noise output. Reducing the speed of the 92x92x14mm fan to 1800RPM
causes test temperatures to increase to 36.7°C over ambient.
For the
next test, an 85W heat load was applied to the NH-L9x65 cooler. In this test
scenario the heatsink yielded a better temperature result of 19.1°C over ambient
at stock speed and 23.2°C over ambient at reduced fan speed.
Narrowing
the field of 360 Intel heatsinks to sub-65mm tall coolers only, positions the
Noctua NH-L9x65 about ~10°C warmer than the 60x120mm Zalman CNPS8900 Extreme. If we further narrow the list to
sub-110mm wide coolers, the NH-L9x65 ranks third, behind the Evercool HPL-815 and Noctua NH-L9i heatsinks.
The 200W
Intel socket LGA2011 thermal test results are next.
