Intel CPU Heatsink S775 Roundup June 2006

Cooling/CPU Cooling by piotke @ 2006-06-20

We compare nine different Intel socket 775 heatsinks from Thermalright, Zalman, Titan, Scythe, GlobalWin and Thermaltake in our latest roundup. Can they prevent a Pentium 4 Prescott from melting without ruining our ears? Let?s find out.

Thermaltake and GlobalWin

Thermaltake Jungle 512

Madshrimps (c)


The first unit from Thermaltake is slightly bigger than the Intel cooler, and a remarkable red colored fan on top.

Thermaltake Silent 775

The Silent 775 features heat pipes and is quite compact compared to the other heatsinks in this roundup. The fan with custom air duct stands out:

Installation requires motherboard removal as a back plate is used, four screws (which are attached to the base of the Silent 775) need to be screwed in tight which does require a bit of force.

GlobalWin GP94NPHH

Bigger is better? This is what GlobalWin must have thought when they designed this unit, it?s quite a bit taller than the stock heatsink ; our test unit came with 2 different fan models which are marked #2 (2600rpm) and #5 (3500rpm).

While the fins are made of aluminum the center is a copper heat column which runs through the construction, a heat column works much like a heat pipe and helps dissipate heat efficiently.
