Temperature
tests were conducted using a stock AMD Duron 700, not
overclocked, running on a full load. A one-hour loop of
Quake 3: Arena
was played during this testing after of which the temperature
readings were taken.
Testbed:
- AMD
Duron 700MHz
- Gen-X
Tech OFRIO Super CPU Cooler
- Abit
KT7 Mainboard
- 192MB
SDRAM PC133
With
Shim Attached: 36 degrees Celsius
Without Shim Attached: 38 degrees Celsius
Verdict
Do
not buy one of these if you're looking to cool your CPU better,
instead spend your money on a decent heatsink/fan combo. However,
if you're one who is prone to breaking things, or just don't
want to take that chance, this may be for you. These are sold
for $12.99 over at nerdsbyte.
