The
initial thermal test results are middle of the
road, as you can see from the list of reference heatsinks above. The
stock Intel heatsink performs well, and obviously it should considering Intel supplies it with
all of their processors.

It is
hard to say the stock Intel heatsink performs good, or just average as it is the benchmark to which all other
heatsinks are judged, both thermally and acoustically.
The test results peg the stock cooler in the middle of all the reference heatsinks, which is along what we expected.
Any heatsink that performs above the stock Intel
heatsink is improving on the guidelines set forth for Pentium 4 heatsinks. Any
heatsink which performs drastically lower (there is always a little leeway of a
few degrees) is not meeting those guidelines. It's as simple as that.
