It is nice that new cpu heatsinks are becoming better in performance, but i don't like the fact that they are becoming bigger and heavier than previous cpu heatsink kings by only earning a degree or two above the rest. I remembered that in a few months later Noctua took the crown as top performing air cooled heatsink. Other charts count as well when making a final decision.īunnywannyI been using a Prolimatech Megahalems since its introduction back in 2009.
Ideally, the lower the ratio, the more efficient a cpu cooler is. Panteck PH-TC14PE weighs 970g without fans, performing at 46c.ĬM Hyper 212 EVO Weighs 580g with fan, performing at 51c.
COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 INSTALLATION FULL
Noctua NH-D14 weighs 900g without fans and it did 45c at full load. To heatsink manufactures: Do something innovating if a wall seems to be in the way! Just look at PSU manufactures, they are reaching 92% Platinum rating, from 82% rating four years ago. Not just slab more metal to defeat the other guy. Could you guys do a heatsink Weight/cooling efficiency chart? This is to make readers see which manufacture did its engineering mission to make a much more effective unit than its competition.
