Globalwin CAK4-86 Copper Heatsink Review
Globalwin CAK4-86 Copper Heatsink Review
  89%   
Abstract: True performance coolers are starting to fall by the wayside as consumers have gradually picked up the call to arms for quieter, low-noise cooling over raw fan power, and high decibels.

The only real competition here for the Globalwin CAK4-86 is from the two Thermalright heatsinks which use the exact same type of 38mm thick Delta fan. The Tocools Novasonic does remarkably well considering the size of the fan used there, and the Coolink rounds out the bunch with a Sanyo Denki fan of the 38mm thick order as well.

Let's have a look at the final rise above ambient temperature results to see where things really stand.

The Globalwin CAK4-86 comes very close to the Thermalright SLK800 and AX-7, but still sits a few degrees short despite the fact that all three heatsinks were tested with the same model fan. Never the less, the CAK4-86 shows remarkable performance scaling with the increase of fan speed RPM and CFM values.

The solid, one-piece skived copper heatsink conducts heat very well, and with the fan adaptor and 80mm fan the heatsink doesn't seem to suffer whatsoever. The bar for high-end performance coolers has been raised pretty high, so it is not unexpected that the more economical heatsinks will come in close to the top of reference coolers without quite being able to displace the best performers. If you're looking at the Globalwin CAK4-86 for your overclocking needs it will suite them as shown in the list of reference coolers above, but at a very high sound level.
