nice review~! btw i wonder why at only 1.35vcore, stock intel hsf failed the load test.. i used lots of c2d e6600 before and under hotter ambient temp and higher vcore, they were still manage to complete the load test.. what test did u used? in case i miss it..  QUOTE(LExus65 @ Nov 14 2007, 02:35 PM) this make me wander should i go for water cooling or stick to this ifx14....... but this sink really incredibly well made when i have a good touch of it at interasia show room...... a great heatsink might has on par performance with wc.. but bear in mind that in certain cases, like a very hot day, poor ventilated case, and dusty heatsinks will degrade the performance of the heatsink a lot.. compare to wc where the effect of these cases is not so big..

QUOTE(DaRkSyThE @ Nov 21 2007, 04:37 PM) i think its cause i didnt put the thermalpaste properly caus ei realized the contact was not good, and everest gave me warnings that it was touching around 70++ so i considered it as it cudnt handle it. =/ haha well i dun think many c2d user here is using stock intel hsf.. but when u stated it as too hot and cant handle it.. somehow it showed that the problem is from the heatsink.. not from the thermal paste or any outside factor.. if that's the reason lah.. for me, i'm pretty sure the stock intel hsf is gud enuff to handle voltage until 1.375vcore... considering the IHS of the processor is not concave.. more than that is ok.. but of coz endangering ur cpu lifespan and limiting the oc.. |
