Acoustic Samples: Listen to this Heatsink!

The fan on the Igloo 2400 is nothing really amazing in terms of performance or noise production which is good I suppose. To hear for yourself what this heatsink actually sounds like, just click on the headphones and listen to the MP3 recording.

Sound Level Measurements:

Listening to the actual noise a heatsink makes allows you to hear what pure numbers alone cannot get across. To further emphasize FrostyTech's reliance on cold hard facts when evaluating a heatsink, we also take Decibel readings with a sound level meter. These results may be higher than the manufacturer's listed specs, but then again these are real world measurements.

As far as socket heatsinks go, the Igloo 2400 is middle of the road, but leaning towards the louder side fo things. Chances are good that videocards, or even the computers powersupply will produce more than the 53.9 dB we measured in a real world test of this heatsink in operation.
