Benchmarks
Methodology
To test the Hyper 6+ I overclocked my Opteron 180 to 2.52ghz and ran Prime95 and SuperPi, utilizing both to load both cores of the CPU. Utilizing the Asus motherboard monitor and a Radio Shack IR thermometer, I was able to take measurements from the system at different times. I also tested how long it took a heatsink to cool down. Ambient temperatures were kept constant across the three heatsinks to ensure accurate testing and the case side was closed.
Testing system
- AMD Opteron 180 (2.52ghz)
- Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
- 2x512MB Corsair TwinX
- Maxtor DiamondMax 250GB drive
Benchmark Results
As you can see, the Hyper 6+ does a very good job keeping the heatsink cool. I had no problem hitting 2.52ghz. I didn't push it too much beyond that since I was having stability problems with the AMD stock heatsink. The Hyper 6+ did extremely well in all tests, coming in at least 6 degrees cooler under loads than the Gigabyte 3dCool, which is a decent heatsink.
It only took the Coolermaster heatsink 2 minutes and 1 second to reach basel-level temp while it took 2min 22s and 2m 43s for the 3dCool and AMD stock heatsink to reach base temps.
