Antazone AS-C1000 Universal Heatpipe CPU Cooler
September 29, 2006

Testing:

Testing was conducted with the following system running idle and 100% loaded using Prime95. Processor measurements were taken after 30 minutes at each condition using the motherboard manufacturer’s software monitoring program, ITE Guardian.

» DFI Lanparty NF4 motherboard
» AMD Venice core 3200+ processor
» X850XT Video Card
» 2 GB OCZ Platinum PC3200 DDR memory
» NEC 3550A DVD burner
» LiteOn DVD ROM drive
» OCZ 600 Watt PSU
» 10 in 1 3.5" card reader
» Western Digital 36GB Raptor in removable bay
» 2x Seagate 120GB SATA Hard Drives


The only heatsink I can compare the Antazone AS-C1000 to is my current Thermaltake XP120. When a full 12 volts is applied to the Coolermaster fan that I have installed on the XP120 I get 11.27cfm with a total of only 13dBA. That’s not a whole lot of air and all but completely silent. Compare that to the 49.8cfm at 25dBA which is a ton more air and almost silent.

The chart below summarizes the results...


These heatsinks were almost identical in their cooling abilities. It is very hard to compare apples to apples here due to the enormous differences in air flow. If I was to pump almost 50cfm air through the XP120 who knows what might have happened. After all, you can only cool to ambient temperatures!

With an ambient temperature of 22C, I am reading 28 degrees C while typing this. That is the same temperature range I have read with this processor since the day I installed it with the XP120. When the ambient temperature climbs to 27C I get temperatures in the 34C neighborhood. If I load the processor to 100% and let it sit for 30 minutes the results start to show the effects of additional airflow. The XP120 keeps the processor a few degrees cooler.
