It is the most quality piece of water cooling hardware, besides the Swiftech pumps I've spent money on yet, and yes it could cool a small car.

In American measurement terms the outer frame is 2 1/2" thick, the fin core is 2" thick, it is a 4 pass rad, meaning the tubes run through the fin cooling field 4 times, so it's optimized for low fan speed, but cooling performance improves with higher speed fans and that's rare. (Normally adding high speed fans to a low fan rad, does not significantly improve the cooling, but it does with this rad!)

Probably because most rads are dual pass, not quad pass.

 
Low energy i5 CPU here. On my backup gaming rig.

Firestrike 10389.
It says `Better than 93% of PC`s ever tested in 3DMark.
It is dual ASUS R9 280`s.

15080 Graphics
6363 Physics
4358 Combined

Dont know how to get a picture in here; as I forgot what site hosts images..
Anyone; if you need verification.
 


I use postimg to host images but I don't feel any need not to believe you.
What CPU model though?
 


CPU 4570S
All stock.

I posted in the image link above (from the photobucket I just joined [but it wont let me log out]); but it [the link] seems to be invisible in this post.

Never mind.
It must be an inside joke.

Anyway; its time for tellytubbies for the little un I have here. This PC is on the TV.

Later dude.
 


hyper 212 Evo, i plan on upgrading to a nepton 280L soon though.
 


If you are planning on doing that I urge you to reconsider looking at the Swiftech H220-X or the Swiftech H240-X.

I never recommend AIO coolers but Swiftech has made some serious steps forward regarding these type of coolers, the pump is moved to the radiator, the pump is also much more powerful, and you get a full CPU water Block, and the cooling system is also expandable.

Swiftech is rock solid quality, if I was going to buy an All In One CPU cooler it would be one of these, I urge you to reconsider.

These things are selling like Hotcakes, they cannot keep them on the store shelves!

 


im not entirely sure those are available in my country, i cant find them on amazon or overclockersUK.
 


It's not my score RY, I just posted the image for Roger Rogers.

I looked for the link explaining how to post images but couldn't find it.

To answer the question though, I don't think the Intel IGP has any effect on scores or performance. Lucid Virtu does though.

 


A stock clocked I7 shouldn't overheat with a 212 EVO
 


its not overheating, but 81c in a stress test is too much for me, it also hovered around 66c when playing dragon age inquisition, its now maxed out at 53c on a stress test and hovers around 42c when playing dragon age inquisition.
 


IMO That is hotter than normal.
 


They don`t sell them coolers in Japan yet either (at least not on Amazon & the like); and we get real hot summers here.
I use a big zalman aircooler
Also; I will disable the Intel GPU and run another test (someone mentioned).

I leave it enabled on my i7 GTX 780 rig as its for the BF4 Battlescreen, (so the 780 only does the action in-game).
No doubt the 780 will end up as PhysX only one day.



 


I did the same test with the Intel GPU disabled, and got 10392 in Firestrike (a gain of 3pts [which could be down to air temp today]).
Its a pretty silent rig.

Is this a good score for an overclocked R9 290 Sapphire Vapor-X ?
I have it overclocked to 1130/1500 with +100mhz voltage increase..without overclock i was getting around an 11,050 gpu score

I also have my FX-8350 overclocked to 4.4 Ghz at 1.38v stable on air with an Noctua NH-C12P SE14
set on auto voltage
all energy saving bios settings off
turbo clock off
load line calibration set to high

How much further should i push the cpu clock and at what point should I set the LLC to ultra High or Extreme
