Dec 23, 2003 - Frosty No.1506

Dec 21, 2003 - Frosty No.1505
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


There are a great many PCs out there that simply need a good heatsink, and the Arkua 728M-7N01 is one such candidate.

Surprisingly, the all aluminum Jetart JAP416A follows in the footsteps of the performance heatsinks and manages to offer very competitive thermal performance statistics indeed.


Jetart JAP407A Copper Pentium 4 Heatsink Review
Dec 19, 2003 - Frosty No.1502
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


On the plus side, the JAP407A boasts a nice machined base, copper fins, and a good strong 25mm thick fan up top.

Dec 15, 2003 - Frosty No.1497

CJC66IC-A heatsink does not reveal itself until the fans' intake air reaches elevated temperatures, and once that happens, the full speed of the fan kicks in.


TS Heatronics NCU-1000 Pentium 4 Heatsink Review
Nov 01, 2003 - Frosty No.1486
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


This is technically a 'zero noise' heatsink - a cooler which in and of itself produces exactly 0 dBA of noise.


Aopen ACP4LC Pentium 4 Heatsink Review
Oct 26, 2003 - Frosty No.1482
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


Aopen's fan adaptor allows an 80mm Nidec fan to mount to the 70mm heatsink frame. The point of this, is of course to reduce the noise created by the fan by using a larger and slower rotating impeller.

The NXP205 fan controllers maintain the four dials with blue LED black lights, but this time around the package is much smaller.


Arkua 8456X-8T Pentium 4 Heatsink Review
Sep 07, 2003 - Frosty No.1460
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


The 8456X-8T ranks in at 46.5 dB in our acoustic tests, and even with the large 80mm fan this Arkua heatsink is hardly aiming for the performance markets.


Arctic Cooling Super Silent 4 Pro Heatsink Review
Sep 07, 2003 - Frosty No.1461
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


A passive heatsink is always going to be the worlds one and only zero noise producing cooler, but the real prize is the zero noise active heatsink.

At 300RPM the SP411C5 is good in the noise department, but at higher temperatures it can get somewhat loud.


Taisol CEP447181 Pentium 4 Heatsink Review
Sep 01, 2003 - Frosty No.1456
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


Given the 70mm size, the fan is remarkably un-quiet - which can only indicate that the Taisol CEP447181 isn't a pushover.


Spire SP420B8 CopperStream P4 Heatsink Review
Sep 01, 2003 - Frosty No.1455
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


The fins come off the assembly line interlocked with one anther via small tabs and the entire fin assembly is soldered to the copper base plate.

If done properly, the copper will ultimately increase the surface area of the heat source enticing quicker transmission to the outer fins more effectively.


Vantec Spectrum UV LED Case Fans Review
Jun 23, 2003 - Frosty No.1416
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


Vantec's adaptation of that idea is certainly a lot cleaner and less expensive route to take - and no cold cathode is required.

Jun 22, 2003 - Frosty No.1415
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


The heatsink breaks with tradition and features an extruded aluminum heatsink with soldered-in copper base insert.

Spire BFA07B2 Copper Core Heatsink Review
Jun 20, 2003 - Frosty No.1422
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


Based on an older design which did not feature a copper insert, the BFA07B2 can almost be considered a second generation heatsink.

Thermalright SLK-900U Copper Heatsink Review
May 28, 2003 - Frosty No.1396
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


Given these two different sizes of fans, rotational speeds, and CFM output it will be interesting to see just how the Thermalright SLK900U reacts thermally!


Cooljag JVC258A V-Type Copper Base Heatsink Review
May 02, 2003 - Frosty No.1385
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks


Not only does the upwards expansion out allow the heatsink to come equipped with a larger fan, but it also helps induce efficient exhaust judging by the looks of it.

Apr 20, 2003 - Frosty No.1376
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks

Apr 17, 2003 - Frosty No.1377
Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
