________
The Akasa AK-961 heatsink is designed for socket 775 Intel Pentium 4/D and Core 2 Duo processors, and as with most heatsinks vying to push the stock thermal solution out of the PC, it comes equipped with a Pulse Width Modulation fan. The AK-961 is essentially identical to the AK-960E heatsink FrostyTech previously reviewed, apart from the fans that is. The AK-961 heatsink's fan spins at speeds of 500-3400RPM, which is slightly more than the AK-960E can muster. Also, the fan on the AK-961 is internally illuminated with blue LEDs and the motor is suspended from the frame; an open fan frame style which yields quieter operation and better airflow at really low impeller speeds.
