All Heatsink Tests Done By Madshrimps In One Place

Cooling/HSFDB by jmke @ 2009-12-07

Over the past years we have tested a few hundred kilos worth of heatsinks; in order to give you quick access to the massive amount of data we have entered all the test results (more than 400) into a database, grouped by test setup. Enjoy!

AMD S462 (2004-08) - Open Testbed

Madshrimps (c)
AMD Athlon "Barton" 2500+


This CPU was clocked at 2006Mhz using 1.85v vcore which makes it give of close to 90Watt of heat.

Here are the full specifications of our test setup:

JMke's Test Setup
CPU AMD Athlon "Barton" 2500+ @ 2006Mhz - 1.85v
Mainboard DFI NFII Ultra Infinity Rev A
Memory 1 * 512Mb PC3200 Mushkin
Video ATI Radeon 9000


Details on testing:
  • Room temp during testing was 26°C.
  • Test were done on an open test setup, temperature in a closed case will be higher.
  • Thermal Paste used on all heatsinks was T-Zero a new paste from CJH International
  • Coolink 80mm fan at lowest and highest settings (24-70CFM / 19-44dBA) on all heatsinks unless noted otherwise.
  • Papst 92mm “MultiFan 3312” at 12 and 7v. Used on the SP-97 heatsink.
  • The “Aerocool DP-102 Modded” entry: I placed a self-made air duct over the heatsink to guide the air through the heatsink (photo), this did not have an immense effect on performance though.

    Performance Results

    Select the heatsink you want to compare and hit “select”. Click the name of the heatsink to be taken straight to the original review, with pictures, installation tips and more.

    Nicely done, but once you selected one or 2 coolers, and clicked next to see the graph, there is apparently no way to return to the selection menu ? (besides refreshing the page).

    if you don't select anything, and choose select, then you get a nothing select error but no link back to the selection screen

    Flash btw?

    no flash involved, Php image generation; you can directly link to generated charts from Madshrimps.be domain. Today so far 916 charts were generated latest one:

    coolest would be now if you mouse-over the name, you see a small thumbnail of the heatsink? would that be useful ?
