The 15mm thick 70mm fans that are used on the AVC 117160 are pretty quiet. Given the 70mm width, the fan can spin at a slower speed and still move a decent amount of air to cool the heatsink. To listen to this heatsink click on the pair of headphones pictured below.
Synthetic Temperature Test Results: *Ranked according to 100W interface die test results.
Please note, that since socket 478 heatsinks are only capable of mounting to a motherboard with a HSRM, we will only be testing them on the large copper interface die. Since the 117160 is a fairly standard extruded heatsink with a 70mm fan we can see that its performance is just a little behind the curve set by the stock Intel socket 478 heatsink. The main benefit to users here is a savings in weight, as the stock Intel cooler is a bit heavier than the 117160.
Asia Vital Corp have produced an OEM cooler with the 117160, and one that appears to fall just below the level of the stock Intel cooler. For someone looking to improve on that of the generic Intel socket 478 cooler, the AVC 117160 doesn't offer any means of improved cooling performance. The 117160 isn't a bad cooler, it's just that it can't offer anything we can consider an improvement thermally. While we are glad to see stainless steel clips that offer users a more robust means of attachment, the level of performance just isn't anything better then the default standard unfortunately.
