Cool It Eco 240mm

Ace Modder · 28 Sep 2010 at 10:36

Hey guys

I got to play with a Eco 240mm radiator edition from CoolIT

My setup is a Gigabyte X58A-UD5 with a i7 920 D0 Chip with Corsair 6GB 200MHz Dominator kit.

I got my chip up to 4.2GHz stable at full load.

The actually eco fitted into my Corsair 800D with ease. Only issue is that my case is made to have a tri rad fitted, so as such looks a little silly with only a dual rad. Oh well.... maybe Cool It can make a tri rad edition next.

Here is my screen of my temps at full load.

Ouch! Palm my head! Pretty very very hottest flying cpu! (a LOG on the thermal status)

It would be nice if you could post some results with other cooling solutions so we had something to compare it against. People might look at those absolute numbers and think 'Bah, my XXX cooler is 10c lower then that what a waste of time'.

I have to say though that's a really good overclock for D0 chip and that's with hyperthreading enabled as well.

Love it, And yes its toasty, But its also at 4.2ghz with HT!

I think my Noctua NH-D14 with 1 x viper fan beat Cool IT Eco 240mm by miles ahead ! My 4.20Ghz at 1.248 vcore and the temperature never went above 73C after the first 2 minutes start off overclocked with prime95 was running for an hour without increasing temperature which it pretty good indeed. If I use Cool IT Eco 240mm with 2 x viper fans with same vcore setting then I would be interesting to know if the temperature will be below 70C (?) it ashame that I think Cool IT Eco 240mm won't fit at the rear back side double fans (2 x 120mm) on the Antec 1200 case (?)

only because your running a lower vcore.

Like I've been saying for a while. If you are going to go down the watercooling route - by decent parts and not cheap pre built crap. High end air will 99/100 beat low end watercooling.

My noctua nh up12 gets those temps at 4 GHz 1.275v whilst stress testing in LinX.

@Bulldog show me your temps whilst running linx

Arghh, this is why you should NOT post absolute numbers as you can't compare the two sets of results fairly as there are far to many variables to account for. For a start Bulldog is using a Antec 1200 which is the best air cooled case money can buy and it's going against a Corsair 800D which is great for water cooling but not as great for air cooling (presumably because of it's size). One last thing ALL results should be posted using the Delta T method, it should be against forum rules to do otherwise.
