 A Classic and still one of the best!
I have an early version of this cooler which features the justifiably hated push-pin mounting system. That aside, it''s the result that matters isn''t it? My CPU at present is a Q9550 Dual-core Quad, it''s showing all four cores maxed out, it''s playing WinAMP and burning a DVD. It''s running at 129 to 130 degrees via the motherboard sensor with an ambient temperature of 74 degrees. That''s fahrenheit and not celsius. The motherboard temperature is 100 degrees. The individual core temperatures are varying with a peak of 140 degrees. I do hear the fan blowing harder in the case but this case has no soundproofing whatsoever. The case is an old Antec mid-tower which is about ten inches wide. When my processor isn''t under severe load the fan becomes inaudible in this case.
It may be hard to tell from the pictures but the fan is rubber shock mounted in a plastic frame. Even if it became unbalanced I''d doubt you''d hear it.
Kudos to Arctic Cooling for seeing the sense of keeping their CPU fans caged. Why isn''t that obvious to every other manufacturer?
I''d also like to give tip of the hat to FrozenCPU.Com for their excellent pictures of their products. |
