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 models, 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
5710 Plus Silent heatsink is able to maintain a temperature of 30.2°C over
ambient, with 39.3dBA noise.
An 85W
heat load applied was applied next, and under this test environment the Glacialtech Igloo 5710 Plus Silent heatsink kept
temperatures to 18.5°C over ambient.
In terms
of thermal performance, the Intel CPU die test is a true representation of the
capabilities of the Glacialtech Igloo 5710 Plus Silent heatsink. Because the
Intel CPU die is smaller than the base of the heatsink, full contact is made and
the raised edges do not interfere.
On the
whole the Glacialtech Igloo 5710 Plus Silent performs about average on the Intel
reference chart, and would in all other respects be suitable for workstation PC.
However, because of the poor attention to base flatness on the Igloo 5710
Plus Silent heatsink that Frostytech tested, we recommend avoiding this model
altogether. Not recommended.
