Conclusion
Here is a table summarising the results:
Most of the fans managed to keep the XP2500 CPU Temperature around 18șC, with the SilentBreeze fan being the only exception. When the processor was overclocked from XP2500 to XP3200 the CPU temperatures all increased by a few degrees. The Igloo 2520 Pro kept this increase very small. As usual the higher the RPM of the fan the noisier it was with a very noticeable sound difference between the SilentBreeze fan and the Igloo 2520. The handles on the fans are a nice feature of GlacialTech's CPU fans although the copper and gold coloured heatsinks (Igloo 2520, Igloo 2520 Pro and SilentBreeze) were more difficult to remove from the motherboard than the silver heatsinks (Igloo 2470, Igloo 2470 Light, Igloo 2470 Pro).
I award the Igloo 2470 85%
I award the Igloo 2470 Light 90%
I award the Igloo 2470 Pro 82%
I award the Igloo 2520 87%
I award the Igloo 2520 Pro 91%
I award the SilentBreeze 462 III 79%
