Millennium Glaciator

[Nitestorm]

Now that you can buy the Millennium Glaciator heatsink in the UK, has anyone bought once and got any comments about it. Supposedly the few US reviews I've read seem to say it achieves near SK6 w/ delta 38CFM performance (~3oC hotter), yet much quieter.

Haven't you fallen in love with the Swiftech MC-462 yet??

AMD Athlon 'AYHJA' 1333@1550 idles at 30*c, never higher than 39*c full load!

Can it do that?!

The review of the Glaciator is up and it performs well at much lower noise than anything with a Delta on it - cooled well at 1500MHz! Check it out here:

Cool thanks. Yeah I kind of expected the Glaciator not to beat the likes of the SK6 and MC462 if they had a delta on, but would expect it to perform closer to them than any other heatsink that has a comparable lower noise level. Since noise is just as important to me as performance, the Glaciator is best for me needs, as using a delta fan is a non option for me. For people who don't mind noise, then of course, it's not really a heatsink for them.

Although from the news item HardOCP gave your review, I half thought it was no-where near the performance of the SK6/MC462 and you weren't that impressed. But still, now I've read the conclusion I realise that impression wasn't accurate and that for my needs at least, it looks to be a very good heatsink.

Just in-case you're interested I have a Glaciator for sale (v.nearly new, used only for a couple of days, in original box)
