heatsink charts!
Sorted into categories for heatsinks
measuring less than
150mm, 110mm, 75mm or 45mm
high, Frostytech ranks the best compact CPU coolers available by
thermal performance and quietest operation. The first list is for
Intel processor heatsinks, the second for AMD processor heatsinks. To
find the
absolute best heatsinks regardless of size, go to the main Frostytech Top 5 Heatsink Chart for a complete run down.4U
Heatsink (mid-tower cases) - 154mm high or
less
3U Heatsink (slim type case) - 110mm high or less
2U Heatsink (low

1.5U Heatsink (HTPC, miniITX type
cases) - 45mm high tall or less.
HOW IT WORKS:
The #1 Rank is
considered the current Top heatsink meeting the specific height limitation, #5 is
the 5th BEST. Full size heatsinks are not included here, and do offer
significantly better thermal results. Only heatsinks that Frostytech has tested are
included in these lists; as such some heatsink models available
on the market are omitted, this is not an indication of "the
best low profile heatsink ever". Please click on any
heatsink listed below for a detailed review and the
official thermal and acoustic test results. Manufacturers and vendors
are NOT permitted to make any claims of performance from these
lists.
