AirCooling Test for gurus.. XD

Ok scratch the top, i decided to take out the big guns IBT
Prime95 dont give a decent representation on temps with a blend test neither an unrealistic top load what gives the max heat in a quick run... Have to wait like 15minutes to really see a difference on the load, IBT do this for you and then some... Both are unrealistic loads hence the big temps wise, but i want to check temps here XD

So now ask yourself how i can get a ludicrous load to achieve the max heat than any application out there can give you in one single run and in the quickest time possible?

IBT do this for you with a lot of ram loaded on it so you can really measure it... Cannot get more stable than that. No drastics up and downs either XD.


here are my results

Change case config a bit (patch the side panel holes with cardboard and some tape), my goal is to create the max performance possible with less fans and noise taking in consideration overall performance XD

IE: Creating a vacuum instead on bombarding the case with useless fans XD

Cable management is very good the rest of the setup is in my signature...

Now the test:
Legend (graph)
Blue: CPU
Green: Mother Board/System
Brown: Core Package (max temp reported on the highest core)

No Intakes/ The Side Panel Blocked

Stress Level
Custom / 14800MB

Time to finish
455.599ms

Ambient
29C


Before IBT


After IBT

Conclusion later because further testing needed, need to cover more holes and open more (customize) the front of the case...
So far no intake fans needed, less dust going in and best performance overall....

Forgot, CPU is overclocked to 4.5GHz with 1.35v running on it...

Yes, but there is always a BUT..

Front fans are obstructed in their original setup, so the original movement of air is drastically changed by the obstacles.. Like for example the mesh, the hdd cage all of this dont help of air movement even with a good fan you still going to see less performance.. Heavy modication would be needed.. Like removing all the hdd cages, cutting the mesh even taking out the front bezel of the case... If i want to do all that i just put the hardware in a open bench dont you think?

Exhaust fans perform way better and closer to their specs than intakes fans....

The setup right now perform the same with front or no fans at all...

The vidcard area is another thing i need to consider later when i watercool that one too...

Btw, the first post that i deleted, the one on the left is the one without intakes XD

Replace that test with a real IBT test which one gives me higher temps than prime and second a more accurate constant reading ...

You think getting under 73c on a huge load im talking about almost 15gb of ram on IBT is that easy??
The regular load test is 1024mb and temps goes up and down each pass and between loading and finish each round at least 10c less or more, then it goes up again..
I manage to overpass this by putting a higher load.. So it lasts longer hence trying to get more heat XD...

Remember the following, no intakes and a cheapo antec 620 with 29c as ambient...

There is people with better water coolers and more expensive equipment than mine and cannot control the heat given by IBT...

Edit: Turn down my vcore to 1.325v drop 5c max out at 68c (core package 71c) ambient temp 30c XD
Time was faster too to complete 450.515ms
