Today we shall be using an Intel Core i7 920 based system for testing. Most of our testing will focus on a 1920×1080 (1080P) resolution as we feel it will reflect what our audience is using more than native resolutions of a 30 inch panel.
Test System:
Zotac GeForce GT 240
Intel Core i7 920 (D0)
Asus P6T Motherboard
6GB Corsair DDR3-1600 RAM (3x 2GB)
Corsair HX850W PSU
1TP 7200rpm Samsung F3 Hard Drive (HD103SJ)
Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
ForceWare 258.96 WHQL Driver
Everest Ultimate
Furmark
All the latest bios updates and drivers are used during testing. We perform under real world conditions, meaning KitGuru test all games across five closely matched runs and average out the results to get an accurate median figure.
Might work better on a hotter core, but its cheap enough. shame its so ugly mind you.
I would say anyone aiming to cool a high end board would spend more on a cooler like this ?
That has to be the most ugly looking cooler i have seen in recent years. Looks like they forgot to paint it. an airfix kit.
Seems to be priced more for low end cards so I think the fact you tested it on a mass market card is a good idea rather than a 5870 or something. I agree though, its extremely ugly looking, not exactly primed for a case mod window system.
Might be a good deal for someone who has spend say 120 quid on a card or less and wants to improve the cooling. I cant see anyone with a high end board getting this when artic cooling have such brilliant third party coolers out now. price is good, looks arent. Isnt that part of the reason of getting a third party cooler to get something that looks wicked and also cools well?
Not a bad product, but quite fugly!
