Default Hailea HC-500A Water Chiller Review

While 4.72GHz is a great overclock for a 6-core Core i7 processor, when we set the coolant temperature to 13C, the HC-500A was able to drop the CPU temperature to 47°C, allowing us to overclock the CPU to 5GHz. The GPUs also ran much cooler, dropping from 43°C to a tepid 30°C.


Just because we can, we also tried running the HC-500A at its lowest temperature setting, 4°C, to see if this would make any difference. Unfortunately, although this dropped the CPU temperature to a chilly 28°C, we were unable to break the 5GHz barrier without Prime95 crashing. Even so, this shows that the HC-500A still had a lot of untapped cooling potential, even with a heavily overclocked 6-core CPU and dual-GPU graphics card.
