PC Stats has posted a review on the Millennium Thermal Glaciator Copper Heatsink



The Glaciator is an "Integrated Augmented Fan Heatsink". Constructed from a solid block of copper, the fin section of this heatsink is so finely constructed it will put even the venerable CAK38 to shame. What´s more, the Glaciator employ´s some interesting technology designed to reduce the amount of noise it produces, but not cut back on pure performance.

The large solid copper Glaciator was developed from a long line of prototype heatsinks by Andrew Lemont of Lemont Aircraft Corp. The reasons why the Glaciator is such a unique cooling solution relates to the patented (5292088, 5895917) technologies it makes use of.

MTS have used a technology originally created to quiet cooling fans. These augmented fans had slits cut into the airfoil which surrounds the fan blades. In Laymen´s terms the slits augment the way the air moves as it passes thru the fan so that it produces less noise (between 3-10 dBa lower).
