Obzirom da se svi hladnjaci uz relativno nisku temperaturu okoline u radu prilično griju, prije svega možemo zaključiti da hlađenje čipseta nije ni približno jednostavan problem kakav je nekad bio. Svi hladnjaci u potpunosti ispunjavaju obećanje o bešumnom radu, a manji Coolink Mainboard Silencer predstavlja definitivni best-buy, no usprkos tome ne preporučamo ga za ugradnju u loše provjetravana kućišta ili za zahtjevnije primjene. Thermalright i Noctua definitivno imaju potencijala, no ne bez mane: njihove velike dimenzije će onemogućit ugradnju na neke matične ploče, a visoku cijenu bi im puno lakše oprostili da dolazi u kompletu sa ventilatorom. Ako već moramo birati, preferiramo Noctua NB Cooler zbog najbolje riješenog mehanizma za montažu, no najbolje rješenje ipak predstavlja nabavka ploče sa tvornički ugrađenim pasivnim hladnjakom koji koristi toplinske cijevi.

Conclusion

Considering high temperature of all coolers while testing in low ambient temperature it is easy to see that cooling of modern chipsets is not an easy task. All coolers are completely quiet, and smaller Coolink Mainboard Silencer is definitely a best buy, thougth it didn’t impress us with performance – it’s bit to hot for heavy every day use, especially in poorly ventilated case. Thermalright and Noctua have better potential but their relatively high price (out opinion would be different if optional fan was part of the bunlde) and fact that they are simply to big to fit on some motherboards, are drawback for unconditional recommendation. If we have to choose, we’d prefer the Noctua because of better clip, but buyers would generally be better with some of the new motherboards which come equipped with heat pipe passive cooling.
