GlacialTech Igloo 5760 CPU Cooler Review

Cooling/CPU Cooling by stefan @ 2010-07-25

GlacialTech have successfully build a very cheap, easy to install and good looking little CPU cooler; it is mostly intended for environments that do not imply overclocking. In the performed tests, however, even if on the package it was listed that the i5 750 CPU is supported with its stock 2.66GHz frequency, I could do 3.2GHz without problems at all and with decent temperatures too, in both IDLE and Full Load.

The Tests

The Tests

Testbench:

CPU: Intel I5 750 Retail
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D-EVO Preliminary
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL8D-4GBRM
Video: ATI RADEON 4890 1GB OEM
Power Supply: Cooler Master Real Power Pro 850W
HDD: Apogee SSD Convertor with 2xAPOGEE CompactFlash Cards 606x 16GB, JBOD(32GB)

In this review we will compare the GlacialTech 5760 with the Stock i5 750 Intel Cooler and also the high performance Noctua NH-U12P SE2 which features two NF-P12 fans in a push-pull configuration. In all the tests, the same thermal compound was used, Arctic Cooling MX-2.

The tests were performed in an open-air environment, with the test system mounted on the removable motherboard tray of the Cooler Master ATCS840 case.

The stress test application that was used is named OCCT 3.1.0, ran with the CPU OCCT Test, Small Data Set, 30 minutes settings.

The ambient temperature during all tests was 25.9 degrees Celsius.
