I'm willing to bet a simple 600w should be plenty for this as long as you aren't trying to run some serious graphics too

did they change from a 92mm fan to 120mm? it's about damn time
yes they did, that's one of the reasons why they could push the tecs further (on top of the new arrangement, that helped quite a bit too supposedly)
So your saying without the TEC it would beat air coolers?Quote:

Jigsaw
you have no idea what your talking about.IF you want to read my and my partners review go to www.nordichardware.com It wsill be posted either Thurs or Fri. We have 12,000 members and i belive we know what we are doing.
It's actually more like 250,000 but never mind that. The review should be up soon :)Quote:

Actually, your overclocks lead me to believe that you really don't have any skill what so ever. 3500MHz on an E6850 and 3400MHz on a QX6850 G0? Regardless of what you plan to do with your chips you can push them much higher than that on near stock volts. This is Xtreme Systems and your signature takes up enough space that it should at least be worth while to read. Show me you know what you are talking about and prove me wrong. As of now I officially declare you a n00b with too much money.
Hey Mate. I dont think the product is cool, to expensive. But WTF. Admins just told you NOT to post here. And still you call people n00bs.Quote:

So Edite you reply and stay here on the site :yepp: :up:
BTW smile man ;)
His Striker died before he had a chance to push the cooler to the limit.Quote:

High fan load testing below 35C QX6800 3520MHz is not excellent? :confused:
Frequency means everything with heat output actually, just voltage effects the P more.Quote:

At that time, it was the best air/water cooling for the quads and they weren't even supported past 200W-ish. They would definitely be better now, especially because using the control center the fan could be adjusted to very quiet before but temperatures would shootup near mid-end air cooling when you did that back then (that was the low power settings IIRC) and now the fan has been replaced with a 120CFM fan instead of the 65CFM.
Neat how they kept the overall weight consistent too.
Stan/Andreas: Would've been good to be able to compare it with the difference over the Freezone, but great review nevertheless. :)
And there's nothing more stupid than that. ;)Quote:

Jigsaw stop trolling the thread, you were even told by perkam not to post here anymore and yet you don't seem to careQuote:

Secondly, he did 3.5ghz on a qx6800, I don't know where you're getting the e6850 and qx6850 from.
Not to mention, who are you to call him a n00b? We haven't seen you produce anything worthwhile but flame people. He was given an engineering sample before anyone else because coolit has worked with him on multiple occasions and trusts him with their products. They don't just give it to anyone. If you manage to get an elite yourself, then go ahead, show us what you're made of. But until then, lay off
Lastly, he has a striker because you can't use sli on intel chipsets, what would be the point of buying a great p35 board when he already had the two ultras?
no idea to be honest. I just try to deliver information before anyone else, you'd probably have to ask coolit thatQuote:

well, here's the thing, the main enhancements are just layout changes and a new pump in order to allow the unit to make more use of the tecs as a whole. So while performance does increase, I wouldn't say it's radical
A York maybe, a Kentie, don't think soQuote:

yes, definitely. Kentsfield, I wouldn't try pushing the voltage, but conroe no doubt about it
my problem is "WHY" coolit says to not go beyond 3.5 mhz...i would think from a technical stand point you would want to confirm the limits of this pre-production unit....wouldn't anyone want to know the limit of the unit...so...if i am right, they don't want find out...OR...let it slip out that the elite unit has inadequacies...this might be perceived but never the less has to be considered as a negative.
i was about ready to buy one...but...i am not sure any more unless i see definitive data that it says it can handle more than 3.5 Ghz....my gosh, i can put my TRUE 120 (dual fan) on that cpu and get the same results...maybe higher temps but it can do the JOB!
Don't know, but his striker died anyways, so that's why we haven't pushed any further after that on our own
you mean to tell me he can not find another suitable board to test the elite on????
he has an asus maximus now, but I guess the tests wouldn't be consistent. I dunno, ask him yourself

I haven't spoken with him in a while, we've both been very busy, I'll send him an email, and if you like, he's doctor_death if you want to pm him about it.
I'm pretty sure the elite can do more than 3.5ghz, especially when he's modded regular freezones to go past that (I think he's done 4ghz on quad before on one of his modded freezones, using the stock tec system [ie not too serious mods])
