Baseline testing the cooler

Test 3 - LOAD Temperature

But now let's have a look at the processor's LOAD temperatures. With any cooling kit, the ambient temperature will effect your overall temperature, never forget that.

Please understand, for the above results -- temperatures are based on a slightly overclocked (3.2 GHz) processor with a little extra voltage (1.3v), the fan speed is set at 80% RPM, we do this with all coolers in the particular test.

• Anything at roughly 50 Degrees C or lower we consider enthusiast class cooling.
• Anything in-between 51 to 60 Degrees C we consider performance cooling
• Anything in-between 61 to 70 Degrees C we consider mainstream cooling
• Anything above 71 Degrees C we consider average cooling

We are slightly above  50 Degrees C with the processor mildly overclocked under full load. That means it's performance cooling.

Roughly 50 Degrees is what we get returned with the cooler placed in push-pull mode with two fans.
