Reference HSF vs New

We tested a series of heatsinks which have proved to be popular:

  • Coolermaster Hyper6
  • Coolermaster Hyper48
  • Thermalright XP-120
  • Thermalright XP-90
  • Zalman CNPS7000CU
  • Zalman CNPS7700CU
  • Stock A64 Cooler

    The following graphs can be read in two ways:
  • you can either look at the red bars only and go for the “highest performance”
  • Or you can take the generated noise into account and look at the total size of both bars, if the combined value drops below “100” then that particular heatsink offers a better performance/noise balance then the stock A64 heatsink.
