Noctua NH-C14 140mm CPU Cooler Review Comment Thread
I don't get this: For someone testing heatsinks and fans for a living its weird how you can say something like that when the Noctua P14 is probably the worst 140mm fan especially considering the cost. Heres a selection of a few very well performing 120mm+ fans: Scythe "KAZE MARU2" 140mm...- halfwaythere

Corsair Hydro H70 CPU Cooler Review Comment Thread
2 degrees worse than a Venomous X when equipped with the same fans. That says it all and should dampen the marketing hype. Its funny cause in equal testing circumstances it doesn't even come close to the H50. So much for improvement.- halfwaythere

Titan Fenrir & Skalli CPU Coolers Review Comment Thread
Since this is turning into something pretty ugly I'm gonna pretend it never happened and let you folks get on with your lives. Before someone else chips in with a good word I'm gonna take everything a reviewer says as gospel since they are beyond doubt. Maybe you would like to see what other...- halfwaythere

Titan Fenrir & Skalli CPU Coolers Review Comment Thread
I think you are turning it into something personal for all the wrong reasons. All I'm saying is people like to validate their results by posting, screenshots or pictures with the rig and the simplest way to shut me up is to post some of yours. I find it very hard to believe that something like...- halfwaythere

Titan Fenrir & Skalli CPU Coolers Review Comment Thread
So from the only sites you found one is using a thermocouple on the cpu and blend and the other has crazy low temps at 1.4v even for 40 degrees ambient. If you're gonna dismiss lab501's work at least come up with something relevant. Monstru's study is very well done with help from the author of...- halfwaythere

Titan Fenrir & Skalli CPU Coolers Review Comment Thread
You don't have to prove anything to me. I was just pointing out some facts. Some people like to attach screenshots in order to validate their results and to give readers a proof about the actual testing. And since you are at it I would just love to see some of those countless people who manage...- halfwaythere

Titan Fenrir & Skalli CPU Coolers Review Comment Thread
Ramiro is always showing a screenshot with prime running 8 threads for each setup. xbitlabs are using linx and they are also getting temps in the high 70s mid 80s at 24 ambient with 1.36v.

Titan Fenrir & Skalli CPU Coolers Review Comment Thread
We moved to a new forum a while back. lab501/forum 3oh6's results are in fact very reasonable and I'm sure Ramiro will get something similar for that setup. The main problem here is that AkG's results are very 'unique'. The only valid explanation would be that you're using 4 threads instead of...- halfwaythere

Titan Fenrir & Skalli CPU Coolers Review Comment Thread
You did it again. Your uniquely cool cpu helped a lot. Its funny how you are going to reply to this telling us a core i7 cpu at 1.45v with HT on is going to yield those temps. Guess what cooler managed the temps below at 22 celsius ambient and with a 1900 rpm fan...- halfwaythere

Intel i7 CPU Cooler Roundup Comment Thread
Good job guys. Glad to see you're back on the right track. :) My only complaint is that you haven't tested Nirvana with other fans. The stock fan is easily removable.- halfwaythere

Putting a fan on a T.R.U.E
You need something with good static pressure. Depending on how much you are willing to spend you could look at: Noiseblocker XLP, Noiseblocker Multiframe M12-SP, Scythe S-flex F or G, Yate Loon PWM. I would go for a PWM fan out of convenience.- halfwaythere

Heatsink Review.. AkG or SKY Please Comment
You don't quite get the point or you're avoiding it. Testing at around 80 oC provides better accuracy. I don't care if someone will ever hit that temperature altho inside a case during summer anything is possible. You as a tester should be interested in getting the most accurate results even if...- halfwaythere

Heatsink Review.. AkG or SKY Please Comment
Benchmarkreviews tested the 10X only in stock configuration and that only shows how lame the stock fan is. Their testing is fine and you would've recorded a similar result if you'd have tested the Megahalems with the 212+ fan. Ideal tests would require a perfectly flat IHS and an impecable...- halfwaythere

Zalman CNPS 9900 and ZM-STG1 grease not giving a good temperature drop.
I wouldn't call a heatsink that needs a >2000 rpm fan to get decent results top tier especially considering the price. And since Zalman opted for the more traditional tower method recently I think its safe to say the 9xxx series was a complete failure. You have to be very deaf and very rich to...- halfwaythere

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler Review Comment Thread
You should pick the highest one that appeared more than once. Chances are if you let the load go further you will see them again. I'm not sure you want to understand this but by picking an average value you're not doing a favor. When I'm testing a cooler my only interest is to see the maximum...- halfwaythere

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler Review Comment Thread
You are right of course if you get one particularly high reading compared to the others. But as far as I know during an hour testing the spikes you are talking about are valid readings because they appear quite a few times. And during testing you are measuring the absolute cooling capacity note...- halfwaythere

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler Review Comment Thread
Someone more experienced might confirm this but the closer you move to Tjmax the more accurate the readings are. And none really cares about average temps since they don't give a relevant result. Prime95 manages to take the cpu to the max temp only a few times during stressing and since your...- halfwaythere
