Initially this heatsink was launched to tame the heat producing mosters on the Socket 2011 platform. Unfortunately a hickup prevented that platform being used for this review.
Lucky enough, Intel decided to make a new heat producing monster. The Ivy Bridge platform. These chips are known to run very hot even at stock settings. So will the Arctic i30 be up to the task? Lets go and find out.
ARCTIC as a company has been around for quite a few years, in case you have not heard of them here is some information about the company:
