@ 2008/07/18Now it's time for what everyone has been waiting for, the temperature tests…
We've constructed our test bed to properly simulate an E6600 core-two duo processor at stock speeds. Now I would like to stress one last time that the size of the unit might be a concern for some people, but your standard case shouldn't have any problems fitting it. These tests were run with an ambient open air temperature of 22.9 C (or 73.22 F) and left to stabilize the temperatures for a good 20-30 minutes before each reading has been taken so that we could be sure the temperatures had leveled off.
The overall performance is pretty decent. The dual fan doesn't add as much to the performance as we had thought it would but I think this is easily corrected with higher power fans, just remember this can significantly up the noise.
