The
initial test results are looking surprisingly good for the
Thermal Integration TI-A8736N, but is the rise above ambient temperature results we
are really interested in. Given unique construction method, and 4000RPM fan, I'd
expect this heatsink to bridge the performance cooler threshold and even
outperform the TI-RV108N!

Given the
loudness of the fan used with the TI-A8736N, it's a
hard to say whether the heatsink is an effective cooler because of how it is
made, or just because of the fan that sits on top.... In either case though,
the argument is moot - the Thermal Integration TI-A8736N is a very good Pentium
4 heatsink as we have seen by the thermal test
results.
With a
rise above ambient
temperature of just under 30 degrees Celsius, the TI-A8736N heatsink performs just
shy of the performance coolers, though it is easily among the best in
this list of reference heatsinks. It manages to outperform the stock Intel 3.06 GHz
heatsink by a degree or so, and the more common
extruded aluminum stock Intel Pentium 4 heatsink by about 8
degrees.
The construction quality of the TI-A8736N is clever, with
the internal shape of the triangular base helping to redirect exhaust air away from
the center where dead spots can form. Bottom line, the Thermal Integration TI-A7636N is noisy, but packs in a very powertul punch thermally. A good heatsink
for any toasty Pentium 4 processor where noise is not a major concern.
