Nice video, the only thing I thought was odd, is that you set up the CPU fan to blow away from the rear exhaust fan. The gap that was there would likely have the 2 fans fighting each other for air. The temps were a bit high for an HSF of that size.

It looked to be only a couple inches from the rear of the case, I think it would have been more efficient to put the CPU fan on the other side blowing backward. You should give it a try in the other orientation and check your temps.

Hi, you are mistaken, I set the CPU fan to blow out the case. There are 2 fans blowing air out, one at the top and one at the rear, I have it pointing to the rear not the top.

Is that the Asus M3A78-T?

If so, am I correct to assume that the HSF will not fit in such a way where the fan blows toward the rear of the case?

[PCWizKid]

Actually you can turn it around to face it that way if you want yes.

Nice review =)

I'm not sure if it was mentioned somewhere, but when you ran the benchmarks was your Phenom OC'ed or was it stock?

-Thanks in advance!

Overclocked @ 3Ghz

@cardboardsnail Good point. It's even funnier than, how the CCF get's better temps than the Hyper 212+, at a cheaper price.

@stalker7d7

The CCF predates the Hyper 212+ lol

@PCWizKid ...

In video: "through the fins here, and then out the other side and then out the top of the case"

You implied (and it lookes) that you had it sucking air from the rear, and blowing it through to the other side, hoping for it to be sucked out the top.

You did not set the cpu fan to blow out of the case... Azriel is correct, your cpu fan and rear fan are going to have problems sucking air from the narrow gap between them, assuming you didn't lie about the rear being exhaust too?

"Unique looking cooler"...

Looks like every other Hyper 212+ derivative... lol

[yayafitini]

can i add another fan?

Awesome review, I know its kind of late. commenting a year after lol but thank so much for the awesome review

[eppiegood]

does this core freezer supports new processors like the intel i7? thanks. great review.

@imafurryhusky That is 8c higher than the highest rated temp for the 9950! The stock heatsink will not suffice. I had the stock on long enough to get into windows to check my temps and was at 62c on a cold boot so I shut down and slapped my Zalman 9700 on it and had much more normal temps. Due to the 9950 causing my PSU to produce to much heat for my already hot room I have went back to my X2 6400.

[imafurryhusky]

i have the same cpu and im 69c max on stock heatsink.

Yo good vid just wanted to know if a core contact freezer is better or zalman 9700LED is better for my phenom ii 925.
