Testing and Results
And now to probably everybody else’s favorite part. The actual numbers:
The test system is again:
- Intel Core i7 4770k (Haswell)
- Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H Motherboard (Review Pending)
- 8gb Patriot Viper Extreme 1600mhz
- Corsair 600W CX600 PSU
As usual, the 4770K will be run at a mild overclock and a higher overclock:
- 4.1ghz with 1.15v Core
- 4.5GHz with 1.3v Core.
Results
Again we’ll be using the standard metric of idle and load temperature(s) minus the ambient temperature.
4.1Ghz Testing
Pretty average start, but as usual, stock settings are just that. Let’s see how it fairs with a little more heat behind it.
Overclocked
Well, unfortunately, the Deepcool is only slightly better than the Venti at overclocked settings. But, it’s not that disappointing considering the Haswell generally runs a bit hotter, so I guess the it does a respectable job of keeping up with new stuff.
Noise Level
The good news is, even with two fans, noise is only slightly above a noticeable level during a full load. So no complaints here … pretty impressive to be honest.
