Acoustic Samples: Listen to this Heatsink!

The acoustic levels created by the Taisol CMK702151A are pretty low all things considered. Since the 70mm fan is exhausting through a series of parallel plates there is less cause for noise created turbulence. You can listen to this heatsink in operation for yourself by clicking on the little headphones and downloading the 10 second MP3 recording.

Sound Level Measurements:

Listening to the actual noise a heatsink makes allows you to hear what pure numbers alone cannot get across. To further emphasize FrostyTech's reliance on cold hard facts when evaluating a heatsink, we also take Decibel readings with a sound level meter. These results may be higher than the manufacturer's listed specs, but then again these are real world measurements.

To give you a better idea of just how loud the Taisol CMK702151A is, we measured it with a sound meter. Anything under 50 dB is pretty controlled insofar as other computer noises are concerned, and the heatsink here came in at a very respectable 47 dB.
