Enzotech Ultra-X Heatsink Review
  96%   
Abstract: We might as well get to the point in the first sentence of this review, the Enzotech Ultra-X performs really well on Intel and AMD processor platforms with its fan at full speed.

FrostyTech Mk.II Synthetic Thermal Heatsink Test Results
AMD Athlon64 / FX / X2 & Sempron class heatsinks
Results based on readings from a 38x38mm copper interface die with 125W heat load on the K8 version of the Mk.II Test Platform. Temperature results listed for each heatsink were calculated by determining the rise over ambient temperatures at time of test. Information on Frostytech's test methodology is available here.

125w thermal test (°c) noise level (dba)
*heatsinks are ranked according to the 125w thermal test results column (rise over ambient temp.). low temperatures with low noise levels are considered best. for reference heatsinks with variable-speed fans, only the high speed (12v) fan test result is included in the comparison sheet; more detailed results reside in each specific heatsink review.

with a 125w heat load applied by the amd k8 version of the frostytech synthetic thermal test platform, the enzotech ultra-x heatsink yields a very low rise above ambient temperature result of just 18.7°c. this, while the fan is running at its stock speed of 2500rpm and making 59.1 dba noise. with fan speed reduced to 1200rpm, the heatsink maintains 23.9°c above ambient - which is equally impressive. noise levels fall to 40.1 dba in this second test, while thermal performance is still very good.

we'll hold off on our final judgement of the Enzotech Ultra-X until the socket 775 thermal test results are in. That's up next on FrostyTech...
