Quickly find your way to the current Top 5 heatsinks according to FrostyTech. The first pair of lists is for
Intel Heatsinks, broken down by lowest temperature and quietest operation. The second set of lists are for
AMD Heatsinks. Lifespan indicates if the heatsink is new, old or end of life.
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 that Frostytech has tested in its labs are included in these Top 5 lists; as such FrostyTech guarantees this list is incomplete, that some heatsink models available on the marketplace are omitted, and that it is not a permanent indication of what's "the best 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 replicate this list, nor make any claims of performance from it.
