FrostyTech has posted a JMC 400124 Phoenix 60 Radial Fin P4 Heatsink review



Shiny aluminum always gets my attention, even when it's in circular form. JMC Products have recently released a few heatsinks on this same design guideline, and the JMC 400124 continues the Pentium 4 cooling tradition well while keeping acoustic noise at around 47 dB. The heatsink arrived for our testing with a full set of blueprints which gives us some detailed insight into the construction and manufacturing requirements applied to JMC's heatsinks. For example, the fan here is spec'd out at 100K hours MTBF. Based on similar techniques which were used by Agilent Technologies for their Arcticooler heatsinks a while back, the JMC 400124 Phoenix 60 even carries the same logo. The original Agilent heatsink was made for socket 370 Pentium III processors, but this version is intended for use with socket 478 Pentium 4's or even Socket 603/604 Xeons. The unit we tested was configured for socket 478.
