Abstract: The large top-down heatsink has a jaw dropping weight of 1,225grams, or
1.225kg. That's a lot of weight to hang from a CPU socket, so it goes without
saying that rear motherboard support brackets are mandatory!

FrostyTech Mk.II Synthetic Thermal
Heatsink Test Results
AMD
Phenom I/II, 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 DeepCool Killer
Whale Premium heatsink maintains an excellent result of 14.9°C over ambient
temperature (52.5 dBA noise) at stock fan speed. With the large suspended PWM
fan rotating at its slowest speed, 1000RPM, the Killer Whale Premium has no
trouble maintaining a CPU die temperature of 20.7°C over ambient, this time with
a very low 36.2 dBA noise output.
Interesting results so far, but we'll hold off on the
conclusion until the Intel LGA775 synthetic thermal test platform results are
in. That's next on FrostyTech....
