Not a huge criticism, but I am not sure their heatsink test was particularly efficient as all they did was turn off the fan mounted on the heatsink. It seems quite likely that the fan was acting as an insulator and at the very least, impeding heat dissipation.
I may of course be misunderstanding what they actually did.
- Xylakant 9y agoif you look at the provided pictures, the fan sits beside the heatsink and not right on top of it. I don't think it would make a major difference either way, it's not blocking the heatsinks airflow.
