Arkua 8456X-8T Pentium 4 Heatsink Review
  64%   
Abstract: The 8456X-8T ranks in at 46.5 dB in our acoustic tests, and even with the large 80mm fan this Arkua heatsink is hardly aiming for the performance markets.

Arkua 8456X-8T Heatsink From All Angles
The Fan:
The 80mm fan measures 25mm thick and isn't actually attached to the heatsink body. Rather, it is attached to the metal clips which are used to lock the entire assembly down on the HSRM. The fan connects to the motherboard fan header and supports RPM monitoring.

Heatsink Top:
The top sides of the fins are cut away to provide a platform for the fan and clips to mount upon.

Side A:
From the side we can see how the fan assembly sits on top of the rest of the heatsink. The base of the cooler rises up to 8mm thick at the center, and arcs down to just 4mm thick at the outer edges. The fins are 1mm thick and spaced 2mm apart.

Side B:
The opposite side of the heatsink is very plane. The metal clips work well to hold the heatsink in place, though they can be somewhat difficult to engage all at once. The heatsink stands 70mm tall.

Heatsink Base:

The aluminum base has been sanded down, and is fairly flat. The base finish is typical of an extruded heatsink such as this. A good amount of thermal compound between the processor and heatsink is recommended.
