The whine of a noisy computer fan has got to be one of the top 10 most annoying sounds these days. Older computers that sound like a vacuum cleaner are especially bad. Low noise heatsinks solve these problems, so it sure is a good thing that the gang at Frostytech have this out today. The Akasa EVO 120 heatsink handles the low noise task well, and judging by the review its temperatures are pretty good too.

"This is the second revision of the Akasa EVO 120 (AK-120) heatsink, the first model produced under this name utilized thinner diameter heatpipes and a slim copper base. The new, 2007 model Akasa EVO 120 improves on these shortcomings with a stocky copper base, and three chunky 8mm diameter heatpipes. The changes have been well worth it, allowing the Akasa EVO 120 to handle high heat loads from Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad and AMD Athlon64 processors with quiet ease."
