Glacialtech Igloo 5057 E Heatsink Review
Glacialtech Igloo 5057 E Heatsink Review
  68%   
Abstract: The Glacialtech Igloo 5057 E is a socket 775 Intel heatsink for Pentium D, Core 2 Duo and Celeron processors. Owing to its all-aluminum construction, the Igloo 5057E is probably best used on sub-90W processors.

FrostyTech Mk.II Synthetic Thermal Heatsink Test Results
Intel Pentium D / Extreme Edition & Quad Core class heatsinks tested at 150W
Intel Core 2 Duo / Pentium 4 / Celeron class heatsinks tested at 85W

Results based on readings from a 30x30mm copper interface die with 150W and 85W heat loads applied on the LGA775 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.

*heatsinks are ranked according to the 150w 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.

intel processors vary in power output between single and multi-core processors, so frostytech tests heatsinks with two thermal loads that represent the upper limit of both existing cpu families.

with a 150w heat load applied by the intel lga775 version of frostytech's synthetic thermal test platform, the Glacialtech Igloo 5057 E heatsink yields a poor rise above ambient temperature of 58.5°C, with 53.4dBA noise. The Igloo 5057 E heatsink was next tested with an 85W heat load, and in this test it maintained a more satisfactory 36.1°C rise over ambient temperature.

The Glacialtech Igloo 5057 E heatsink runs roughly 9°C hotter than the stock Core 2 Duo heatsink (tested with that heatsink's PWM fan spinning at its lowest fan speed), and considerably warmer than the Intel stock Pentium D heatsink as you can clearly see from the chart above. Ultimately, the Glacialtech Igloo 5057 E is satisfactory only for sub-85W Intel processors.
