***Auras Fridge JES-988***



Introductions
Fridge, the graphic card cooler from Auras Technology. Upon opening the box, I got very impressed with the finishing of the cooler as it looks so neat and shiny. The base is mirror finish that I can see myself on from the base. Well lets stop all this craps and lets get into the more details of it.

- Silent passive cooling / Compatible to graphic cards (nVIDIA / ATI).
- Active cooling fan frame ready for overclocking (Capable with 80 or 120 mm fan).
- Special rivet process on copper plate makes close contact to GPU.
- Memory / Voltage Regulator module with special thermal interface material.

Test bed
CPU: Intel C2D E8500 @ 3.15GHz
Mobo: Asus Maximus Formula
Memory: 2 x 1 GB Crucial DDR2 Memory PC5300
GPU: Gigabyte 8800GTS 512MB
PSU: Zalman 600W PSU
CPU Cooling: Custom Watercooling

Test bed
OS: Windows XP SP2
Benchmark Software: Crysis + Crysis Benchmark Tool 1.05 Final
Monitoring Software: HWMonitor

Test Methods
Same as the Battle-Axe test, the same 3 different clock speed will be included in the test. The only different for this time is that we will be using different fan placement setup to determine which is the best placement or best size fan to be use on the cooler. We will be testing the cooler by using low (5v) and high speed (12v).
The Idle temperature will be logged using HWMonitor and the latest reading on the "Value" field will be taken. As for the Load temperature then the reading on the "Max" field will be taken as this software is able to capture the "Max" temperature and that will be the highest temperature on load.
Below I will explain on how is the fans being setup and the fans specifications.
There is 4 types of fans placement setup
1. Single 120MM fan
2. Dual 90MM fans
3. Single 90MM fan on the left side of the cooler
4. Single 90MM fan on the right side of the cooler
They will be tested under low(5v) and high(12v) fan speed.

Fan Specifications
1. Tuniq 120MM fan (1000 - 2000 RPM)
2. Xigmatek 90MM fans (2200 RPM)

Results

Notes:
1. There will be 9 different charts which distinguish the results from each categories for easy reading of the results
2. The description of the chart will be shown under each charts.
3. 650MHz is stock speed, 800MHz is semi overclocked and 830MHz is max overclock for the card
4. Please read the description to understand what is each charts represents to, the idea of having so many different charts is to let you all to easily point out which fan settings you want to use. The summarized chart will be for all of the fan settings in 1 chart.

No comparison marks between Kapak Perang & Peti Ais?

Wow, the performance looks really good.

Would it be possible if you test the cooler with an ATI HD3870, if you have one at hand

3dmarks??? for wat???
i m using the same clock speed for all the test...whats the point of showing 3dmark scores??? dun tell me cooler can help in 3dmark scores o.O

I mean comparison in temperatures lar.

battle-axe and fridge temp results look the same. so i guess its down to the prices now.

fly, can specify a bit on the fridge which fan setting you use when comparing with b.axe and stock?

its all in the picture ma...
b-axe - dual fan (5v, 12v)
fridge - dual fan (5v, 12v)
stock - low and high speed set in rivatuner

cant find if its dual or single fan for fridge (previous post was referring to that)

thanks for the clarification though. so, this means b.axe = big winner? both performance and value?

they are on par bro... see the last 2 charts... its between stock vs b-axe and fridge ma...

@ shawty...screenshot of it i will let u all know later
too many of it...around 60 of them... my reserved posts is not enough to display all of them so i will provide u the album link... in spore now cant online much...
