Performance

Our standard comparison cooling product is the Vantec CCK-6035.  We are also going to throw in the MCX-370 for an additional comparison product.  The importance of a comparison heatsink is to give you some perspective on our results.  No two systems will perform identically, or for that matter, there will be variations within a single system to some degree depending on several factors.  Hence, our results may end up being a little better or a little worse than the results you may get in your own box.  By using a designated constant, our Vantec CCK-6035, it helps you evaluate the performance of whatever we are testing, relative to other tests.

Our idle CPU temperatures were obtained by taking a reading five minutes after the PC was powered up, following it being left off for thirty minutes.  The CPU load temperatures were obtained after running the CPU Stability Tester Program for thirty minutes to obtain our "under load" temperature.  Arctic Silver Thermal goop was used as our thermal interface material for all sinks.  Our average ambient room temperature was 73 degrees Fahrenheit.  At no time did the room temperature deviate more than 0.5 degrees during testing.  

Test Bed

• AMD Thunderbird 1.0GHz @ 1.4GHz - 1.75 volts

• ABIT KT7A Mainboard

• 256 megs Infineon PC133 SDRAM

• 7.6 GB Quantum Fireball HDD

• VisionTek GeForce 2 GTS

And the results...

And for Metric-Max.
