May 20, 2001 - Frosty No.692

We found it interesting to note that with this heatsink a high aspect ratio fin design was implemented. In the past

Neng Tyi P365 Lil' Turbine Heatsink Review
Feb 28, 2001 - Frosty No.571
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
One good way to do that is to slap on a massive copper heatsink with a massive Nidec Beta SL fan. At this point the only thing cooler would be to turn off your machine...

Feb 15, 2001 - Frosty No.554
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
When we first got this cooler we were a little taken back by the sheer size of it... When we plugged it in we knew by the sound of the fan, that the FCE-62540D meant business.

Overclocking with the Frostytech ACPSink
Sep 09, 2000 - Frosty No.360
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
It's one of a kind design was as of yet unproven, so the time to prove it had arrived. In moments we would bolt the ACPsink onto a 550 Mhz Athlon to see if all the hard work had not been in vain.

At this time in the AMD
overclocking world, the GFD is beginning to look as old as PC100 RAM (I guess
that's why Mac's have to look so stylish...).
