Group test: CPU cooler group review with 3770K

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/21/2013 09:23 AM | source: | 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.

Check out the full review here.

I see the NH-D14 is still king of the lab.

Would of have loved seeing some custom WC to see any major differences... lets say a 360 rad with a decent block.

I still don't get what I'm doing wrong with my system. I currently have a CPU370 with 4 120's directly to it as my GTX690 is down and even after delidding I can't seem to get my temps under 70c full load @ 4.5Ghz. I also can't seem to run it under 1.3v stable at that speed either yet I see pretty much everyone else able to do that.

Feel like I got shafted =(
