Millenium Glaciator II Heatsink

[scuzzy]

I found several reviews on the Glaciator II heatsink, and all consistently gave the Glaciator high marks for noise/performance ratio. The Glaciator can be purchased from Millenium Thermal Solutions for all of $33.75 (the Glaciator I is $20, but doesn't perform as well as the Glaciator II), and includes the fan, and Artic Silver II compound. While at the Millenium page, follow the links on the right side for the many reviews. Most are consistent as follows:



Pros: Easy to install, great performance, quiet compared to other units, 99.9% pure copper, includes Artic Silver II compound.



Cons: Very heavy (about 1.5 lbs), and only uses a spring clip instead of 4 screw mounting. Because of the weight and mounting, most reviewers strongly recommend not to transport the computer with the heat sink installed. A few noted that a non-conductive shim should be used.



There was one inconsistency with the reviewers. Most thought the base was the finest work of machining they had seen. A few, however, complained about poor machinery.
