MADman Movies presents: Scythe Contest - Ninja vs The A-Team

Cooling/CPU Cooling by jmke @ 2007-05-30

In cooperation with Scythe the Madshrimps are organizing a MAD give-away of five Mine CPU Coolers. We´re not only giving them away, be will come by personally to deliver them and report back with the temperature and noise results. MAD Movie coming your way!

MADman goes A-Team

MADman goes A-Team

This theme was inspired by The A-Team intro (watch it here)



GO TO FIRST MOVIE

MADman visited the owner of this PC first, wrapped in an Antec P180 case the E6600 inside ran at 59°C with the stock Intel cooler. With the Mine installed it dropped an impressive 10°C to 49°C. Noise level also dropped but less spectacular (-2dBA) as a noise VGA cooler continued to raise a ruckus.

Quite an exotic cooling method from our AMD Athlon 2800+ user, his extra fan pointed towards the open case is mandatory during hot summer days, luckily we did the tests in February so the fan was turned of, which worked wonders for noise level… except for the open case of course. At 62°C the CPU was running quite hot with the stock aluminum and compact AMD heatsink, the Scythe Mine triumph the highest, dropping CPU temperatures an impressive 20°C, noise levels were almost unchanged (-5dBA), a noisy PSU is to blame, and a VGA card, and an open case!

Our last visit resulted in a swapped cooler from an E6300 CPU, with stock cooling we measured 58°C under load, with the new cooler it dropped 8°C to 50°C. Noise level was slightly diminished (-4dBA), again with the noisy VGA/PSU in there!




What did we learn from swapping CPU coolers in 5 different machines? Let’s round it all up on the next page ->

i'm guessing that quickly installing the stock HS doesnt count?

wouldn't be fair to those who only have stock cooling
Comment from SuAside @ 2006/12/21
do people like that really exist?

too bad it doesn't fit on socket A . I realy need money for a new pc + laptop
Comment from SAMSAMHA @ 2006/12/22
it's true. I guess finally Belguin people got something cool and that's not chocolate
Comment from Rutar @ 2006/12/22
Since you have such good connections with Scythe, could you aks them if they have thought about supplying more mounting clips for the Ninia and Infinity so dual 120 setups would be possible?

it could be decicive vs Thermalrights new cooler that takes 2 120mm fans in a XP-120 like setup

It was really nice to have JMke over here to install the cooler, cant wait to see the video-stuff etc. I do have to tell that when i closed my case the noise level dropped some more

Comment from jmke @ 2007/03/11
open cases never were very good in stopping noise
Comment from jmke @ 2007/05/13
