CPU cooler group test review with 3770K 5

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/21/2013 10:18 AM [ 32 comment(s) ]

In this review we test over a dozen CPU coolers, mainly heatpipe based. We'll test them on a Core i7 3770K, one of the more difficult to cool processors on the market. In this group test we'll use Scythe, Noctua, Coolink, Deepcool, Alpenfohn, Gelid and Cooler Master coolers. We'll test the more standard coolers, two low profile ones for HTPCs and some heavy duty heatpipe coolers targeted at the overclockers.

Thanks, Hilbert. Loved to read this.

It's interesting the H100i performed worse than I expected. So I am going for air in my next build for now. I wished the Zalman CNPS 12X was in that list, but you tested that one not too long ago. It seems that the 3770K is another beast altogether. I wonder how it performed with that one, though.

all the idiots who have gone for the inferior Corsair H100 water cooling.


4.8GHz/1.4v & 70C with 1350 rpm SP120 Quiet fans and I'm one happy idiot!

5Ghz 50c w/ 1500 rpm nff12s :P

but still, no point in AIO solutions, its time to go all out on a real setup

I was getting at the fact it should have done better than the Noctua :) Hopefully Haswell is once again soldered (if Intel spend the extra 5 cents a CPU). CPU cooler reviews seem to be trend based, in that a good cooler will trend well, bad cooler will trend badly, but within these trends are some sights saying one cooler is much better than another cooler that a different site says is better than the first. I think if the Noctua and the Corsair H100 were reseated and tested again, the results would be different, such is the nature of CPU reviews.

I could live with a CPU temp of 50C, mine got to that when I was encoding and the room got to 41C (hot day) when I was out, saw the temp when I got back, but the core temps were 70C which was borderline with what I was comfortable with. I can only imagine if the CPU temp, like in the reviews, was 70C the core temps must have been excessive and damaging over time (if thermal protections didn't kick in).

Hopefully you can get Sapphire's new cpu cooler in. it looks very good atleast if it cools like the one they put on their gpus that is. its also slimmer than most coolers i think so im curious how it performs.
