What you
want to be looking at in the list of reference coolers are the 1U heatsinks which include the Arkua
848X-6B, Dynatron DC1206BMV and Vantec CCK-7015. Thermal performance of these largely copper skived heatsinks is
not in the same class as desktop heatsinks, but we can see
where they stand compared to one another.

The final results indicate that for this list of
reference heatsinks, the Dynatron DC1U-B02 doesn't fare too well. This is
especially true if we consider the results of heatsinks like Dynatron's own DC1206BMV 1U cooler.
Frankly speaking, we are a little surprised that Dynatron equipped the DC1U-B02 with a 50mm
squirrel cage fan when a 60mm fan could have been used just as easily...
In our own tests we were able to improve the thermal results for the Dynatron
DC1U-B02 by adding a neoprene gasket under the squirrel cage fan
to seal off any spaces which would have allowed air to circumvent the path
through the copper fins. With two other minor modifications we were able to
drop overall temperatures by about 5 degrees as compared to the stock
configuration. I think the one-size fits all approach Dynatron have applied with
the DC1U-B02 1U copper skive heatsink disregards the small optimizations which
could have been done to improve the overall performance characteristic of this
heatsink.
A work in progress maybe, but for the moment if you need a 1U
heatsink for the Pentium 4 platform, do yourself a favor and stick with the
older Dynatron DC1206BMV. While that model does use a top-intake fan which
will suffer a little from the height restrictions of a 1U chassis, the
difference between it and the DC1U-B02 is substantial.
