I thought well maybe they were taking off the room ambient temp form the results... but even then the numbers seem a bit off.....

well really not just the H100 numbers being off... all of them seem exceptionally low.

Wait, the CPU only gained 3c going to 1.5v and 5.2ghz? 55c load on an H100? 68c load on a Noctua??

I call BS on all accounts.

I'm terrified of the H100 given the mass recalls of them. The numbers really do seem low though...

My 2500k at 4.8/1.4v only hits 60*C with ambients of up to 28*C on an H50, I don't see what the problem is with this review. I think if they ran it for a while it would increase more until the water temps stabilized.

Maybe if they dipped the rad in a cooler full of cold water.

I had to post some questions on their site...

Temperatures are not linear when adding voltage to a processor. My custom loop struggles to keep load temps near 70c when pushing 5.1ghz at 1.48v and also 22c ambient, and that's with a much better block and 480mm of rad space.

thats about right its a sb chip guys.....

+1 to this guy

 

[Mr.Eiht]

And it could be that the C14 hit higher temps.
(I got one so i know this baby)
You only have to mount it without the fans

// Yeah thumbs up for tinytom!

 

[Angrybutcher]

Found another couple flaws in their results. They're claiming 102 bus with a 52 multiplier, that comes out to 5304mhz, not 5.2ghz.

With our fan speed on maximum for all of the coolers we see that the Corsair and Antec models knock 10+ degrees Celsius off the reading provided by our high quality air cooler.

Since when does 68-60 = 10?

Ummm yes I know... and I have tested on two 2600ks and a 2500k with a H100 and got no where near those numbers at 4.8GHz let alone 4.9 or 5.0GHz. At 5.0 I was hitting 95c max on the cores which was too damned high.

HOWEVER I will say this... when I first started changing CPUs around and all that my temps went up the first few times because I found that Arctic Silver 5 was no where near as good as the stock TIM, I eventually used some Noctua TIM and it brought the temps closer to what it was. I then switched from the stock corsair fans to a push pull config with Coolermaster R4 fans. Temps went down from stock, but were still to high (this is where the 95c came in). I finally settled on 4.8GHz with my fans set to a lower level and get 80-82c max under load, if I set the fans higher I can get down to 77-79c all with my house between 68-70F

I think this is BS as well because I have a supreme HF with chilled water and when I overclock my CPU I can tell a difference in max temps comparing stock to heavily overclocked immediately, and it's a bit more than 3c.

If I can see that much of a difference with chilled water I doubt some H100 using radiators to cool the water down to room temperature will only see a 3c difference.

And with that being said I can move onto this quote:

I have chilled water and you still see quite large differences from stock voltage and clocks compared to an overclocked chip as I mentioned earlier.

Now this is a complete shot in the dark as I don't have too much recollection of my temperatures when I tested this a few months ago but here are some ranges I believe to be somewhat accurate.

Stock clocks/voltage with my chiller (temps): Idle: 12c Load: 40c
Overclocked chip with my chiller (temps): Idle: 16c Load: 55c

Water is set to around 50f

There is no way in HELL they are getting 55C with a H100 under load at that high of a clock/voltage unless the room is 40-50f.

Unless they got a lapped sandy bridge because mine isn't too flat; but even then it would be quite hard.
