Enough jabbering lets do some benching !
The temperature benchmarks tested on an AMD Barton 3200+ were conducted by using a little program called toast; with a room temperature of 33 degrees Celsius yes it was during the heat wave in Holland that I tested it, so that is one of the reasons why the temperatures are a bit on the high side, noticing that my VGA card was running at 63C (145.4 F) load sooo…
Just another little side note is that I added a DD Z Chipset block in the loop, but that was also there in the first tests of the DD TDX.
Danger Den nVidia Kit Performance
| fan setting | cpu status | temp |
| Fan Low | Idle | 46 C (114.8 F) |
| Fan Highest | Idle | 42 C (107.6 F) |
| Fan Low | Load | 52 C (118.4 F) |
| Fan Highest | Load | 48 C (125.6 F) |
As you can see with the fans blazing full on the temperature only increased by 2 degrees C (now remember it was 33C in my room (91.4 F)).
So all in all with this hot weather this kit only increased with 2 degrees centigrade. No wonder this kit is recommended by NVIDIA, and if it’s good enough for nVidia, then it definately deserves the OCmodshop 5 out of 5 stars maximum score for this kit! With the only the fan choice that left me with some question marks, so for about $220 USD this is one kick-ass watercooling kit, giving you the best of the best available and even allowing you to upgrade or add blocks later on, but that’s all up to your imagination ;)
