Digital-Daily : Cooling : coolers-for-socket-a-2002q4

SocketA Coolers Roundup Q4 `2002

Author: Aleksandr Mitrofanov
Date: 07.11.2002

GlacialTech Igloo 2400

Presenting one more model manufactured by GlacialTech company. The design principles are the same, but compared to the Igloo 2310 model the radiator dimensions have been slightly changed: it has turned wider, longer and deeper (83x64x51 mm).

The increased dimensions have made it possible to install a fan of larger size (70x70x15 mm).

This fan has a high rotational speed (up to 5000 RPM) and, therefore a better throughput (30 CFM) with a higher noise level (37dBa).

Regarding the base, a layer of the mentioned thermal interface protected with a plastic cover is applied on it. The processing quality is as poor.

As far as the fastening is concerned, the clip is absolutely identical to that in the previous models: it is hooked up to the socket with the two teeth, plus a special finger stop.

Of the shortcomings of the cooler are the overly radiator dimensions which prevent installation on some motherboards.

Owing to the increased cooler throughput the company GlacialTech recommends it for overclockers and promises a correct operation of processors of up to Athlon XP 2600+. In this particular case, I would rather agree with this statement. As the tests showed, the efficiency of the Igloo 2400 cooler is not much inferior to that of the higher-end models and is quite enough for cooling high-end Athlon XP processors.
