Some Testing and
Conclusion
I
will, from now on, change the way I measure how good a heat
sink is, because in a month or so we will hopefully have got
quite a large roundup of different coolers here at 3DS, and
thus I want the scores to be “compatible” with each
other, (to save work for me). The testing will consist of
increasing the voltage beyond the max 1.85v that Socket A
main boards are limited to via
a voltage mod and then increase the multiplier until the
processor locks due to heat or I find the limit of the
processor.
But
I will also give you a temp reading; this will be at 1000mhz
(7.5x133) and 1.85v, (this equals 50,3 watts of power.) The
“shim” will be installed all the time, and the
thermostat in the CPU socket of the main board will be used,
which also has been bent up to touch the bottom of the CPU.
The
ambient temperature will be kept as close to 22°C as
possible but I do have my computer in a small room so the
temp readings does have a 5% error margin (1°C)
So
without further ado here comes the temp readings and max
attainable stable speeds I got with this CPU (Leufken water
cooler temp-readings will be included in the roundup of all
the other coolers…)
Idle:
27°C full load 36°C, and max attainable speed was 1066mhz
at 2.05v
Since
I haven’t compared this water cooler directly to
Leufken’s rig, I can’t give you a final conclusion on
which will be a better buy yet, but I will probably give you
more detailed comparison facts when the coolers roundup is
done.
Anyway,
overall this is the most complete and efficient water cooler
I have tested so far, I’m giving it the 3Dspotlight
Outstanding Product award.
