Ah ok, I think they test it without any case as I can see Ace in the photo (no case there) could be testing on the bench! Remember if it was inside case it would add another 4-6C in temp !
Ace Modder. I was trying to make a rough comparison between this and my NH-D14. My i7 950 is running at 4.2GHz and using the same voltage as that 920 but my idle temperatures are about 10C higher (although my CPU has speed step disabled so its always at a constant 4.2GHz) and my load temperatures go to upper 70s/low 80s. If those results weren't done in a case then it might explain why the difference is so much.

Who needs a case?! Cases are over rated
Guessing you can't get massive RAM under that somehow ;p

Interesting concept.

Certainly interesting...
Also nice to know you can fit dominator RAM under it if you wanted to...

Quirky design - does it still prevent you from using tall RAMsinks?
Also isn't it just going to blow hot/warm air down, over your other parts? Seems unusual :|

Yeah, Tom over at Overclock3d.net didn't think too much to it, seemed to get a lot higher temps than you did Ace, however his was also in a full case, not on a test bench.
