Digit-life har lavet en stor test af flere budget-kølere til socket775. Disse kølere indgår i en test på i alt 33 kølere.
konklusion fra digit-life:
Here is the main conclusion, which can (and should) be made hot on the track of our tests: the hegemony of boxed modifications of budget coolers for Intel LGA775, existing in the minds of most users, is mythical rather than real. In reality boxed coolers are very often inferior to alternative models, not vice versa.
What concerns the reviewed models, I want to note Cooler Master CI5-9JD3A-0L and CI5-9JD3A-01 ? these products demonstrate worthy thermal effectiveness, good technical quality, and noise ergonomics. GlacialTech Igloo 5071 coolers also look good, they demonstrate well-balanced functionality and are practically no worse than Cooler Master. But Speeze LeopardStream 3 and LeopardStream 4 coolers are more of a disappointment than of an inspiration ? basically due to their weak results and technical deficiencies. Nevertheless, even they can cope with cooling middle and low end LGA775 processors (including Pentium 4 550 processors with a heat envelope). Flere kølere er altså ganske spændende trods de er billige, man kan så diskutere om de er pengene værd i forhold til en box-køler.
