Mk.III Synthetic Thermal Heatsink Test Results
Intel Core i7, Extreme
Edition class heatsinks tested at a 200W heat
load. Results based on readings
from a 38x38mm copper interface die with 200W heat load on the Intel
version of the Mk.III 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 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. |
this is a preliminary
review of the coolermaster glacer 240l liquid cpu cooler,
containing only the thermal test result charts and a cursory 360° pictorial
overview. the full review will be updated here at a later date, please check
