Abstract: The idea is that one relatively low RPM fan is going to have a hard time maintaining a good volume of airflow through the heatsinks' fins, so the second helps draw the warmed air through and alleviate any loss in velocity.

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 each CPU family.

With a 150W heat load applied by the Intel LGA775 version of FrostyTech's synthetic thermal test platform, the Glacialtech Igloo 5750 Silent heatsink yielded a pretty average rise above ambient temperature of 29.8°C, with 35.5dBA noise. The Igloo 5750 Silent was then tested with an 85W heat load, and in this case the heatsink maintained a test result of 18.5°C over ambient temperature.

When it comes to Intel socket 775 heatsinks there are just under a dozen heatsinks that perform cooler, with similar noise outputs, the Infinity SCINF-1000 is just one example.

As a low noise heatsink the Glacialtech Igloo 5750 Silent heatsink fulfills this role well - it is quiet.

Yet, the entire heatsink has a slightly retrofitted feel to it that perhaps explains why the Igloo 5750 Silent manages good-to-average thermal performance. A handful of other heatsinks yield similar noise levels with improved thermal values. Many of these models are specifically designed heatsinks for the task; all generally larger, or using 120mm fans however.

Size is one point to take into consideration, the Glacialtech Igloo 5750 Silent isn't all that bulky or large. Other purpose-built low noise heatsinks are. If your PC chassis has the space to accommodate virtually any size heatsink you'll find equally quiet coolers that yield better temperatures. The Glacialtech Igloo 5750 Silent isn't a bad heatsink by any stretch, but it isn't at the top of the pile either.
