"The Glaciator is an "Integrated Augmented Fan Heatsink". Constructed from a solid block of copper, the fin section of this heatsink is so finely constructed it will put even the venerable CAK38 to shame. What's more, the Glaciator employ's some interesting technology designed to reduce the amount of noise it produces, but not cut back on pure performance.
The large solid copper Glaciator was developed from a long line of prototype heatsinks by Andrew Lemont of Lemont Aircraft Corp. The reasons why the Glaciator is such a unique cooling solution relates to the patented (5292088, 5895917) technologies it makes use of.
MTS have used a technology originally created to quiet cooling fans. These augmented fans had slits cut into the airfoil which surrounds the fan blades. In Laymen's terms the slits augment the way the air moves as it passes thru the fan so that it produces less noise (between 3-10 dBa lower)."
