Another review sneak peek - Leet aircooling

[NickS]

Soon to be reviewed is the Thermalright Ultra-90, so here's a quick preview of the testing methods and what's going to be done.

This is not a comment/suggestion thread, so if you don't like my method's, go home.

I'll be having a roundup of the following heatsinks..

• AMD Stock 3200+ Heatsink
  
• Thermalright XP-90
  
• Thermalright Ultra-90

The Thermalright's will use the same fan, the Panaflo M1A.

I will use MSI Core Center to measure temperatures load, idle.

For load, I will run F@H and Prime95 (Mixed, Most Heat, etc.) for 15 minutes straight. The fan speed will be pegged at 100% (via Core Center.)

The thermalpaste used will be Arctic Silver Ceramique for all three tests. I will try my best to apply the same amount each time.

I will test case temperature too, by running ATi Tool Artifact Scanner for Ten Minutes, along with Prime 95.

Here's a piccie of the 3 HS/F's.

Thermalright XP-90

This is going to be one interesting comparison I tell ya.

Oh yeh, I'll be testing the following clockz0rs too.

• 2GHz, 1.4v
  
• 2.5GHz, 1.45v
  
• 2.6GHz, 1.54v

The Ultra 90 is fanless aint it?? Or maybe im thinking of the highrise or something like that...

 

[WC Annihilus]

You're thinking of the Highrise (HR-01), though this thing looks to be basically is a smaller version of it.

Awesome, can't wait to see the review once it's complete!

Big props to Jab-Tech for supplying us with this heatsink for review. We hope to be able to continue this relationship and become partners some day.
