Cooling Efficiency Tests

During Linpack tests inside a closed system case using the “weakest” cooling system of the two we managed to overclock our 45nm quad-core processor to 3.81GHz (+27%). The nominal processor Vcore was increased to ~1.53V in the mainboard BIOS (+24%):

During Unreal Tournament 3 tests both coolers ensured processor stability at almost maximum possible overclocking up to 4.02GHz and 1.55V Vcore.

The results are summed up on the diagram below:
