Quickly find your way to the current Top 5 heatsinks according to FrostyTech. The first charts are for Intel Heatsinks, broken down by lowest temperature and quietest operation. The second set lists AMD Heatsinks. HOW IT WORKS: The #1 Rank is considered the current
Top heatsink for that parameter, #10 is considered the 10th BEST for that
parameter. Only heatsinks Frostytech has tested in its labs are
included; thus we guarantee this list is incomplete, that
it's not an indication of "the best heatsink ever" and that rankings will frequently change with each chart
update. Please click on each heatsink for a detailed
review. Manufacturers and vendors are permitted to reference the 'Top 5 Heatsinks Chart.'
