For our temperature tests we loaded the system for 10 minutes using Furmark and recorded the GPU temperature using CPUID HWMonitor. We then restarted the system and left it idling at the desktop for 10 minutes before recording idle temperatures. The temperatures recorded are based on an ambient temperature of 20 degrees C.
These results are fairly good and show the raw performance capability of this heatsink. They still fall shy of those achieved by Arctic's models though.
Why not put the 7V results for the Arctic in the noise chart? As for not commenting on the noise… don’t you mean to say that noise is actually better with this one precisely because you can use more efficient fans? Of course, then there is a cost-performance ratio. You really should have tested this with a pair of budget sleeve fans also, not just expensive Noctuas. The $4 Thermaltake fans from Micro Center would be a good choice.
Where can I buy this? Thank you.
i use i for almost a year on a Direct CU 280X nad 2x phantakes fans for 9 EUr each they are not hear able not even on 100%speed and really happy with it the heat dont go over 60 deg not even in hot summer days now looking to purchase another one since i going to upgrade my system for another GPU . can only recommend it since it is better than arctic accelero since when the fans will be broken yo ucan easly replace them of any other and dont need to purchase expansive replacement part
The cooler is posiblly more efficent than arctic ones but only if u have case fans set at a minimum speed. I know this because i mode my gtx 1070 with 2×120 fans and the gpu temp gets very fast to 65°C and then the case fan kick and go from 300 rpm to 600 rpm and the temperature drops fast to 50°C. This cooler is very dependant on case air flow so because test methodology implied that case fans should not run this cooler was penalized more. That is why Ive seen this cooler beating arctic coolers in another review
