Please
remember that is this is a 1U P4 heatsink being compared against full sized
desktop P4 heatsinks. We are only comparing results because we honestly have no
other P4 heatsinks to put the Dynatron DC1206BMV up against. In case, keeping
that in mind we can see just where 1U heatsinks come with regards to performance
in such constrained environments. With such a small fan there is little
for the DC1206BMV to do so the results are a little higher than we are
used to seeing, but probably pretty good for its class.
Where these results actually come in handy right now is
in the realm of the small form factor cube system, like Shuttle's SS50 for
example. The ultra-compact computers use either 2U or 1U heatsinks because of
the limited room available.

On the 100W test we see a 45 C degree rise above ambient
temperature raise which is a lot for a standard desktop P4 cooler, but probably
not too bad for a 1U P4 heatsink - we'll have to wait until we have another 1U
P4 heatsink to confirm that however.
Given that most of the other heatsinks are too large to
fit in a small form factor cube system we can't offer any really good points of
comparison at this point, but given the small size of such systems even this
heatsink seems like it is under performing compared to a 2U aluminum P4 heatsink
for example.... we'll have to wait a few days to find out the answer to that
question however.
