There are also the truly "benchmark only" cooling solutions like liquid nitrogen cooling. This is certainly not usable in a normal computing environment, but it is a favorite with competitive benchmarkers - who seem to live for the top of the ORB or the highest benchmark scores.
This type of cooling is mainly built by the benchmarker and exists for that fleeting benchmark record that will be broken tomorrow by another benchmarker. As cooling complexity goes up, so does the associated cost. You have to be a very serious overclocker or benchmarking enthusiast to invest that kind of money in cooling.
Tuniq Tower Written by Richard Swinburne. The Tower is very firmly secured, just as long as you matched the little notch on the heatsink base to the hold down. Unfortunately the fan requires the rheostat to lower the speed and noise. Like, the other side of the room, perhaps? Want to comment? Oddly though, Tuniq opted for a non-PWM on this heatsink. Instead, fan speed control is achieved by a hard wired PCI bracket fan speed controller.
Tuniq Tower Extreme Heatsink heatsink specsheet manufacturer: tuniq model no. The mm internal fan is illuminated with a couple blue LEDs, and slides out of its space in between the sculpted aluminum fins easily enough for cleaning. Link many current generation CPU heatsinks, the Tuniq Tower Extreme relies on a collection of 6mm and 8mm diameter copper heatpipes to transfer heat from its CPU base block to the cooling fins.
The heatsink makes use of the popular 'exposed heatpipe format,' so there is as little as possible thermal resistance between the heat generated by the CPU and the copper heatpipes that conduct it to the rest of the heatsink. The bulk of the heatsink is elevated 47mm above the base, that's enough clearance to pass over capacitors or chipset heatsinks positioned close to the CPU socket. At the base of the Tower Extreme is a small extruded aluminum heatsink. It's used to shed heat from the aluminum that supports the five copper heatpipes in place.
You can adjust the rotation speed of this fan using the included variable-speed controller that can be installed on to the back panel of your system case. It allows changing the fan rotation speed from to RPM. In this case the fan should generated between 16 and 20 dBA of noise and create According to the sticker on the fan rotor, it uses a magnetic fluid dynamic bearing MFDB.
Its MTBF is claimed to be 50, hours or over 5. The fan rotor is 40 mm in diameter. The fan comes with a mm cable. There are blue LEDs in the corners of the fan frame, which produce very pleasant mild glow in the dark. However, when the fan is inside the heatsink, you can only see the LED lighting at the bottom of the cooler. Tuniq Tower Extreme is a universal cooling solution: it can be installed onto any contemporary platform except LGA Therefore, there is a steel backplate with a sealing pad and holes for mounting spindles.
To install the cooler on any of supported platforms, you should insert two or four threaded mounting spindles into the retention plate, tighten the screw-nuts on them and place rubber washers on top. There are separate kits with screw-nuts and washers for Intel and AMD platforms that is why the gap between the backplate and the mainboard PCB will be different for each platform installation.
Once the backplate is in place, you can proceed with the cooler installation onto the CPU. After that you simply tighten the screw caps with springs evenly. You will have no problems with Tuniq Tower Extreme and memory modules featuring low-profile heat-spreaders or no heat-spreaders at all.
You can always consult a list of guaranteed compatible mainboards on the official company web-site. As for the preferred cooler positioning on the CPU, the manual only mentions it in respect to the LGA platforms and Core i7 processors. As you see, Tuniq Tower Extreme should be installed so that the heatpipes running through the cooler base covered the most of the processor heat-spreader.
AMD processor was overclocked to 4. Intel processor was overclocked to 3. The processor Vcore in this case was increased to 1. All tests were performed under Windows 7 RTM x64 operating system. We used the following software during our test session:. The CPUs were loaded with two consecutive Linpack test runs with the settings as indicated above. The stabilization period for the CPU temperature between the two test cycles was about minutes.
We took the maximum temperature of the hottest processor core of the four for the results charts. Besides, we will also provide the detailed temperature readings for all four processor cores together with their average in a separate table. The ambient temperature was checked next to the system case with an electronic thermometer with 0.
During our test session room temperature was at
