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 Glacialtech Igloo 7311 Silent heatsink yields a satisfactory rise above ambient temperature of 39.4°C at its default fan speed. Noise output hovered around a very nice 36.5 dBA.

As with the Igloo 7222, this Glacialtech heatsink is better suited towards AMD's 35W and 65W energy efficient K8 processors. The Glacialtech Igloo 7311 Silent runs about 7°C cooler than the Igloo 7222 Light. Neither model performs at par with the stock socket 939 AMD K8 heatsink. By way of comparison, that heatsink runs at its lowest fan speed with a test temperature of 32.6°C over ambient.

Bottom line, the Glacialtech Igloo 7311 is satisfactory for 35W or 65W AMD energy efficient processors in controlled situations where cost is a major decision factor.
