| JetArt - The company JetArt Technology is a Taiwanese company started in 1989 with ODM service for domestic and overseas customers. The company recently started focusing on computer accessories and specially on cooling with a range of "Thermal Solution" under HICOOL brand. JetArt has a capacity of 12 millions pieces a year and was among the first to produce a complete range of AMD64 products listed here: JAK801 JAK801A JAK802A Today we must thank JetArt for allowing us to review the JAK802A HSF Specifications Material: Aluminum alloy Heatsink: X-shape Rated voltage: DV 12V Rated currrent: 0.3A Power consumption 3.6W Fan dimensions 70x70x25mm Fan speed: 5000 RPM Airflow 40.6 CFM Bearing type: Ball bearing Weight: 425g Package content JAK802A heatsink Thermal grease (1.5g) Screws (A) M3 x 32mm - 4 pcs Screws (B) 6# x 30mm - 2 pcs 70mm fan Fan grill JAK802A - The Product The product is delivered in blister package as shown on the right. The 70mm fan is not attached on the heatsink which request us to attach in on the heatsink with the 4 screws given for that purpose. And by the way, an electric screwdriver is really better for an attachement in less than a minute! JAK802A - The heatsink Made of Aluminum alloy this masive heatsink of 350g (with clips) has a X-shape for an optimum heat dissipation. The base is really flat and does not need any additional lapping but in case you still want to do some then have a look to the list of great links we have here. The triple-buckle clip is designed to enhance stability and it does not need any tool thanks to its patented design. JAK802A - Retention frame The JAK802A is compatible to any standard buckling design retention frame, but if your board hasn't any, you can use the Jetart JAK880 Retention Frame specially designed for the JAK802A. In the case of our test board (Albatron K8X80 Pro II), the retention bucket was included in the package but this is not the case with all board and the JAK880 will be then welcomed... JAK802A - Thermal Grease Once you are sure that the retention plate is firmly in place on the motherboard, it's now time to spread a drop of thermal grease (a tiny one is more than enough). It's important to spead it regularly with the finger or a small piece of board and clean up all excess. You may also consider using another thermal paste than the one delivered and a look to the roundups we have here might help you chosing the best one for your requirement.. JAK802A - Attaching the HSF Once we're done with the thermal grease then it's time to attach the HSF on the retention frame by buckling both ends of the clip. This is not too easy depending on the board you are using. On the Albatron K8X800 ProII used for the test we had to be extra careful with the clip next to the chipset cooler which is almost touching the retention frame. Even though Jetart wanted to makes things easy with an exclusive clip design that does not need tool for clipping, we would have prefered a lever type of clip. JAK802A - Plugging the fan You may plug the fan directly on the board (CPU fan plug). JAK802A - The test In our test we used the following: Motherboard: Albatron K8X800 Pro II Processor: Athlon 64 3200+ Case: Antec P160 Monitoring program: MBM 5.3.7.0 under Windows XP 32-Bit Room temperature was constant at 22°C. No additional fan was put into the case. The first impression is surprising. At 5000RPM the JAK802A blows a lot of air and make certain noise too. Thanks to cool n' quiet technology, the spin should slow down when the processor is idle (most of the time) and make the noise bearable. The temperature we had while using the JAK802A are showing a good cooling but the noise remain high when running at full speed under heavy load (50dB) JAK802A - CPU Temperature & noise Idle 40°C (35dB) Full load 54°C (50dB) JAK802A - Conclusion For moderate use, JAK802A and Cool n' Quiet feature allow a great cooling with a limited noise at a fair price but for something really silent in the worst conditions we would not recommend the JAK802A with the current fan. We really appreciate the fact that everything needed was in the package including a top fan grill and 2.5g of thermal compound. JAK802A - AMDboard.com verdict 7/10 overall - Recommended buy for non-intensive use JAK802A - Retail price at time of printing HSF: JAK802A USD39.0 Retention kit: JAK880 USD4.6 |
