Arctic Freezer 7 pro temperatures - I cant believe it

Check this out, this guy claims to have these temps only on air cooling, using the Arctic Freezer 7 pro setup. He says that at full TAT load his temps are around 53'C (with e6600 overclocked to 3.6Ghz)

Looks unbelievable.

What do you think?

Well he did not give the screen shot of the INTEL TAT running 100% on both cores.

Idle temperatures are impresive too, i am getting same temperature with my $400 watter cooling. :mad:
 
That's not too ridiculous.. hes chip is running at 1.2v... his ambient temp must be low... I'm seeing about 25c idle, 36c load w/ water cooling. E6600 @ 3.0GHz
 
Yeah, the ambient temperature will make a big difference. In some other thread I saw some guy show off temps of his computer in a garage with the door open and 4 feet of snow outside. Haha. Air cooling looked amazing there. :p
 
He said the PC was in a chilled room.

But still, e6600 at 3.6Ghz and 53'C load on air ?

:eek:
 
Voltage makes a huge difference. I would probably be in the mid-low 50s under load vs 39-41 if I went to mid 1.3xv vs 1.2xv.

I'm getting low 30s idle, high 30s, low 40s under 100% load, mid 40s 100% tat @ 3ghz.

When I was bumping up voltage because I thought it wasn't stable back @ 2.7 (dumb ass NAM causing the crashes), I was running hotter than I am now because my volts were 1.3x.
 
It's in the realm of possibility. I had an E6300 up to 3.22GHz @ 1.45V with an ACF7P, load was 58C.
 
He's outside (on the patio, balcony, garage, etc.) benching with ambient temps 2C? Or in an air conditioned room, with cold air blowing directly on the mobo?
 
Wouldn't it be a better measure of a cooling system to compare the delta of the ambient temps versus the cpu temps? The HSF is basically a heat pump designed to move heat from one place to another. As such, a better HSF would be able to keep the processor closer to ambient temps than a bad HSF, even if the ambient temps are higher or lower than the norm.

Really, from that picture, for all we know he could have a block of dry ice sitting on his arctic freezer 7 pro.

Btw: I have 2 of those arctic freezer 7 pro's and they do an incredibly good job of cooling compared even to mroe expensive alternatives. Prime HSF there.
