| Home > Reviews > Page: AMD K8 Heatsink Temperature Comparisons | 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. |  | Socket 939/940/754 & AM2 compatible CPU heatsinks | | | manufacturer: | model no.: | *fan speed: | 125w thermal test (°c) | noise level (dba) | | Thermalright | Ultra-120 | | 12.4 | 53.7 | Zalman | CNPS9700 LED | high | 16.5 | 56.5 | AVC | Z7U7414001 (stock AM2) | high | 17.0 | 63.0 | Noctua | NH-U12 | | 17.5 | 45.4 | Gigabyte | GH-PCU23-VE | high | 17.5 | 65.6 | Thermalright | Ultra-90 | high | 18.2 | 56.2 | Gigabyte | G-Power Pro | high | 18.6 | 71.9 | Enzotech | Ultra-X | high | 18.7 | 59.1 | Noctua | NH-U9 | | 18.8 | 58.4 | Cooljag | Falcon 92-AL | high | 19.8 | 52.1 | Akasa | AK-920 | high | 20.2 | 52.9 | Scythe | Mine Cooler | | 20.4 | 36.8 | Cooljag | Falcon 92-Cu | high | 20.4 | 52.8 | Apack | Zerotherm BTF90 | | 20.5 | 52.1 | Coolermaster | Hyper6 | high | 20.5 | 54.7 | Asus | Arctic Square | high | 20.9 | 38.3 | Apack | Zerotherm BTF80 | | 21.3 | 51.9 | Thermaltake | Venus 12 | high | 21.7 | 68.1 | Cooljag | SFO-Q | high | 22.2 | 60.6 | ASUS | Starice | high | 22.8 | 67.4 | Zalman | CNPS9500 AM2 | high | 23.0 | 53.2 | Arctic Cooling | Freezer 64 Pro | | 23.2 | 50.9 | Coolermaster | Aquagate Mini | high | 23.2 | 59.2 | Thermaltake | Polo 735 | high | 23.4 | 68.0 | Cooljag | SFO-H | high | 23.6 | 60.6 | Alpha | PAL-8150 | | 23.7 | 58.9 | Zalman | CNPS9500 LED | high | 23.8 | 50.3 | Verax | Helado | | 24.3 | 36.3 | AVC | Z7U3301001 (stock 939) | high | 24.6 | 59.9 | Zalman | CNPS8000 | high | 24.8 | 57.4 | Gigabyte | 3D Cooler-Ultra | high | 24.8 | 63.0 | Scythe | Kama Cross | | 25.1 | 40.0 | OCZ | Tempest | | 26.0 | 51.6 | Scythe | Shogun | high | 26.0 | 45.9 | Rosewill | RCX-Z2-EX | high | 26.3 | 45.9 | EKL | V8 | high | 26.3 | 57.5 | Thermalfly | F1-IACSHA | high | 26.6 | 60.4 | Zalman | FS-C77 | | 26.7 | 56.5 | Gigabyte | 3D Rocket-Pro | high | 26.9 | 56.7 | Zalman | CNPS7700-Cu | high | 27.0 | 50.7 | Gigabyte | 3D Cooler-Pro | high | 27.0 | 62.5 | nPowerTek | NPH-Big K8 | | 27.8 | 54.0 | Akasa | AK-922 (EVObue) | high | 27.9 | 60.3 | Zalman | CNPS7700-Cu LED | high | 28.1 | 49.8 | Akasa | AK-873 | high | 28.2 | 59.2 | Scythe | Katana II | | 28.3 | 37.9 | Spire | SP601B3 | | 28.3 | 48.9 | Ajigo | MF064-074 | high | 28.8 | 60.3 | Gigabyte | 3D-Rocket | | 28.9 | 50.7 | Vantec | Mach1 | high | 29.2 | 56.9 | Thermalright | SLK-948U | | 29.4 | 58.8 | CoolJag | SFO-D(18SC) | | 29.6 | 64.0 | Antazone | AS-C1000 | | 30.2 | 57.6 | Arctic Cooling | Alpine 64 | | 30.5 | 43.9 | Zalman | CNPS7000A-Cu | high | 30.3 | 45.2 | Dynatron | SK-V24 | | 30.3 | 56.4 | Verax | Quattro 1 | high | 30.7 | 55.4 | Xigmatek | AIO-S80DP | high | 30.7 | 55.0 | Zalman | CNPS7000-Cu | high | 31.0 | 45.2 | Coolermaster | Hyper48 | | 31.7 | 43.6 | Rosewill | RCX-Z1 | high | 31.9 | 54.1 | Scythe | Kama SCKK1000 | | 31.9 | 47.5 | Scythe | Samurai SCSM1000 | high | 32.1 | 51.6 | Zalman | CNPS7000B-CU | high | 32.3 | 44.9 | Thermaltake | Silentboost K8 | | 32.3 | 49.7 | Jetart | JAX801 | | 33.2 | 53.5 | Dynatron | A22 | | 34.5 | 44.5 | nPowertek | NPH K8-1 | | 34.6 | 52.2 | Ajigo | MF043-044 (stock 754) | | 35.0 | 45.4 | Arctic Cooling | Silencer 64 Ultra TC | | 37.5 | 55.5 | Gigabyte | NeonCooler 8-BL | | 37.7 | 42.0 | Titan | TTC-K8ATB/825/SC | | 38.7 | 63.1 | Akasa | AK-860SF | | 39.4 | 45.2 | Evercool | K802-715 | | 42.1 | 51.5 | Spire | SP741B3 | | 43.2 | 45.6 | Arctic Cooling | Freezer 64 LP | | 45.3 | 42.6 | Evercool | Magic Cooler | | 46.6 | 55.5 | ASUS | Starice | low | 92.4+ | 34.4 | | | | 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 scythe mine rev.b scmn-1100 heatsink maintains a rise above ambient temperature of 20.4°c at full speed (1500rpm, 36.8 dba). the intel socket 775 thermal test results are in next, and judging by things here they are going to be low... |  |
