To test the performance of the Cooler Master Eisberg Prestige 240L we built a powerful X79 based system on an open test bench to push the cooler to it’s limits. As we were testing on an open test bench, we directed a Be Quiet! Shadow Wings 120 mm fan at the VRM circuitry to better simulate the airflow generated in a case.
Test System
- Processor: Intel Core i7-3930K
- Motherboard: Asus P9X79
- Memory: 16 GB (4 x 4 GB) Mushkin Blackline 1600 MHz
- Thermal Paste: Arctic Cooling MX-2
- Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7950
- Graphics Card (noise tests): HIS Radeon HD 5550 Silence
- Power Supply: Seasonic Platinum P1000W
Software
- Prime 95 (64-bit)
- CPUID Hardware Monitor
Overclocking
We manually overclocked the i7-3930K to 4.7 GHz by increasing the multiplier to 47x, leaving the baseclock set at 100 MHz. We set Load Line Calibration to ‘High’, and increased the CPU Current Capability to 120% with a minor voltage increase. Speed stepping was disabled for both stock and overclocked tests.
wow you can get access to the liquid inside, thats a great idea. have to get me one of these.
Great looking CPU block, thats going to help with the flow big time. always a problem with those all in ones.
Wasn’t expecting this from cooler master but from corsair. excellent review. found it on amazon under the kitchen equipment? thats well listed.!
The D14 of the all in one world 🙂 – bit expensive for me, happy with my entry level corsair, but nice work from Cooler Master.
Well this is very nice. shame about the noise at 12v, but the results are excellent. great looking build quality. might have to get myself one of these down the line for testing.
I’m a bit curious though.
What would happen if you combine this kit with NP-F12/NP-F14 fans (NH-D14 fans, and yes, you can buy them seperately)
Wouldn’t it be an epic cooling system that embraces astounding acoustic and thermal performance?
with higher grade fans, yes the noise would reduce significantly under load.
