The difference between the Katana 4 and TRUE Spirit 90 is small. Of course, $25-30 coolers like the Katana 4 and TRUE Spirit 90 will hardly be bought for a CPU that costs almost $1000 to overclock it, yet our test results suggest that they can cope with any other CPU which generates less heat than our Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition overclocked to 4.25 GHz at 1.35 volts. It must be noted that the affordable and rather compact coolers from Scythe and Thermalright cope with an overclocked six-core CPU, which is quite an achievement in itself. The fan(s) rotation speed was adjusted in the entire supported range using our in-house controller by changing the voltage with 0.5 V increment.

The lowest noise reading our noise meter device can register is 29.8 dBA and the subjectively comfortable noise level in these testing conditions was around 36 dBA (do not mix it up with low noise level). The tested cooling systems were placed at the edge of the desk on a sheet of polyurethane foam. The noise meter was installed on a tripod and was always at a 150 mm distance from the cooler fan rotor. The noise level for each cooler was tested outside the system case when the only noise sources in the lab were the cooler and its fan. The noise level of each cooler was measured between 1:00 and 3:00 AM in a closed room about 20 m2 big using CENTER-321 electronic noise meter. The room temperature during our test session varied between 21.6-22.0☌. The ambient temperature was checked next to the system case with an electronic thermometer with 0.1 ☌ precision that allows hourly monitoring of the temperature changes over the past 6 hours. Moreover, we will also provide a table with the temperature readings for all cores including their average values. We took the maximum temperature of the hottest CPU core for the results charts. The stabilization period for the CPU temperature between the two test cycles was about 8-10 minutes. The CPU was loaded with two consecutive LinX AVX test runs with the settings as indicated above. So, the complete screenshot during the test session looks as follows: Intel Extreme Tuning Utility version 3.1.201.5 – for monitoring and visual control of all system parameters during overclocking.Real Temp GT version 3.70 – to monitor the processor core temperatures.LinX AVX Edition version 0.6.4 – to load the processor (memory – 4500 MB, Problem Size – 24234, two 11-minute cycles).

We used the following software during our test session:

All other parameters available in the mainboard BIOS and related to CPU or memory overclocking remained unchanged.Īll tests were performed under Windows 7 Ultimate 圆4 SP1 operating system. The memory voltage was at 1.65 V and its frequency was 2000 MHz with 9-11-10-28 timings. Turbo Boost was disabled during this test session, and Hyper-Threading technology was enabled to increase the heat dissipation.

After that we tested the new cooler at even higher frequency and voltage settings. The nominal processor Vcore was increased to 1.35 V in the mainboard BIOS.
