one look at the anandtech test should give you an idea

http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3268&p=7

look at tests that do temp + oc results and read around, the TRUE is still OC king, even if it's not a temp king.

But these tests were done before the core contact came out. If that was tested along with the rest, it surely would have come out on top.

As benchmark reviews stated, the True is meant to be lapped and customized for a true Oc'er. the sunbeam and xigmatech, ocz coolers are out of the box solutions for non hardcore guys like us. BTW the sunbeam, and ocz coolers are redesigns of the xigmatech core contact cooler as well. just some FYI.

True overclocker? So what are we? Fake overclockers? lol I know about the core contact being redesign...(that performs better than the original) but the rest is all just speculation. Exactly how much better performance can you get from a lapped unit and how does it compare to a stock core contact. These are the unanswered questions that make me go "hell to tha no" @ Thermalright.

overclocking so easy dese days anybody could do it... go in the bios and up the clock speed...
back in the day men had to make voltage mod's etc just to get a OC.

i think he meant true overclockers actually make physical modifications to their parts to increase performance, lapping in one such modification...

i have a lapped cpu and it shaves @ 6-7 degrees off my temps... @ idle

I tried the Ultra-120 Extreme, but there were a few things I was not impressed about.
In any event, why should I have to go through all that extra lapping after I've bought a 'top' HSF?

Is for that reason I now use a Noctua.  If I had known about the Xigmatek before, I may have considered
buying it.  As it is, I'm quite happy with the Noctua.  It cools as well as or maybe a little better than the Thermalright
and I dont have to scour the globe in search of extra fan clips to attach another 120 mm fan.

LOL

I'm not trying to promote the True as the best cooler, it has historically performed and for HARDCORE Oc'ers, which we are not ( when we start pulling out liquid nitrogen and dry ice then ) we are enthusiasts but not the hardcore die hards who spend $10,000 usd a month doing it.

As for the new coolers, I got the OCZ knowing how it performs vs the sunbeam and xigmatech, it works for me and running a quad at the same temps as the artic cooler pro 7 did a duo says alot, I like the sunbeam but like I said, when I was ordering last week, no one had it in stock from Amazon at the time and I hate the back plate mounted coolers.

Well the Sunbeam is NOT a backplate mounted cooler. You actually install a frame into the four holes that acts like an emd style mounting system and the whole sink then clips on to the frame.

Agreed @ enthusiasts and not hardcore men. All i'm saying is that I need to see a direct comparison between a lapped ultra 120 and the sunbeam to believe that it will win. Still, remember, the sunbeam outerforms the ultra at stock and having to machine it to get it up to par is...well...less than ideal.

as far as air cooling goes... i say any one of those can work for u... its just a matter of preference etc... 1-2 degrees lower not gonna make sum1 spend more money... i still using a zalman 9500 (which is what 3 years old?) and my temps are @ 40 idle...

@ arc... how much lower did your temps get when adding a second fan?

Zalman 9500 is sh*t now :)

other product outperform it for less, and i talking by as much as 6-7 degrees, and when you overclocking you cpu every degree counts. 55degrees is totaly different than 62 , and 65vs 70 and so on and so fort, idle temps mite not mater much, but the higher end coolers matter when you cpu is under load.

With two fans, the load and idle temps dropped 4C consistently from one fan.

Did torture testing whole weekend with the intention of achieving 100% stability. After much trial and error, the deed is finally done.

Tests were done using small fft's, the toughest possible test for stability.

wat are the temps while it is still under 100% load...

they cool quickly when u take the load off

There's load temps and there's load temps. Under prime small fft's I get between 70 and 72 under maximum load but when folding, all 4 cores at 100% I get 60degrees max. So 100% load is not always with the same intensity (for the want of a better term) across the board.

n.b. all temps reported are according to coretemp .991.

Riva Tuner 2.10 out.
« Reply #96 on: September 02, 2008, 06:24:21 PM »
I didnt think an entirely new thread was warranted, but a little FYI for those hd48xx and Gtx2x0 users, the new Riva Tuner is out which supports these cards with full overclocking/fan speed control. I've got it up and running, works flawlessly thus far. Run to Guru3d to snag yourself a copy.

Did some minor upgrades.

**Changelog**

Now up to the P5Q-E. (Excellent board thus far, but not much of a jump from my P35 DS3L Gigabyte mobo...at all.)
8GB ram instead of 6GB
PSU upgraded from OCZ StealthXTreme to a Corsair TX750W 750W  unit

All in all, system performs pretty much the same, slightly better OC results thus far and I now have the ability to run crossfire.

Still awaiting 10,000rpm 300gb Raptor.
