New Cooling Company in Town: Enzotech

[ChaosMinionX]

Holiday Today, No shipping :0

Fedex and UPS have been shipping here all day, I got a few things from UPS already. Fedex usually comes just before 5pm EST

Can't wait to see some results, though I don't see it beating the Tuniq. The best improvements i could see to beat a tuniq would be better mounting of the heatpipes in a design similar to that of the tuniq.

Not the best review however. What fan did they use on the TR Ultra-120? No Tuniq in their either.

looks like the AeroCool Dominator, just smaller

Really a surprise to me
Ultra-X loses to Ultra 120 under high heat load.
This is quite disappointing or something wrong in their tests if you consider that Ultra-X got 4x8mm heatpipes and nice heatsink base
Of course, the Ultra 120 (as like Tuniq 120) has heatpipes coming cross the heatsink, that is a plus under high load.

Cannot wait for Chaos' results .

Could the benefit of cross section heatpipes shadow those of bigger heatpipes and better build/finish?

[ChaosMinionX]

Tomorrow I will receive it, then comes the fun time

[Okda]

will be waiting for ur results
, i see in ur sig that u have a Tuniq, so it will be very interesting to see ur results comparing both of them

[ChaosMinionX]

Well I finally got it, heres a few teaser pics.




sexy packaging





Love the mirror finish.



Results over the next couple days.

[Okda]

couple of days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tooooooooo long

thank for the pictures for sure

[Scyth3]

Nice finish on that thing.

[Origin_Unknown]

ooo - looks like i saw this thread in the nick of time!!

just got a e6600 with the stock intel hcf and was looking at the tunig but im poot off by the weight and the height.

I think ill wait and have a look at the results of this test, the northbridge sinks look cool too.


[edit] the memory heatspreaders look nice too [/edit]

Preliminary Findings -

Sunbeam Tuniq Tower 120 vs. Enzotech Ultra-X

Well after a little bit of playing around heres some results, pics to follow.


Room Temp - 25-27C

Fan Used - Silverstone FM121 120mm (110CFM~) @ 100%

TIM - CoolLabratory Liquid Pro, and Liquid Pro Metal pads.
Note- I hate the liquid metal pads, with the 6 I had they cooled for . The true liquid stuff applied by myself yielded a 10C difference.

Heatsinks were not lapped, nor is the Xeon 3060 IHS.

No extra cooling methods were used extra fans, paste over various parts etc.

Tuniq Tower -

Closed Case Temp - 29C (damn video cards)
Idle - 39-42C
Full Load - 60-62C

Enzotech Ultra X -

Closed Case Temp - 29C
Idle - 40-43C
Full Load - Varies 55-57C in Intel Thermal Analysis.


Unless the review comparing the Enzo to the Ultra 120 was doing something different then me, I cant see how it can be right based on what im finding. Seems the Enzo is a little bit better, if not on par with the gigantic tuniq.

Im gonna repeat a couple more times and see if I can get any changes that are significant.

Cheers,
Chaos

Could you use the Tuniq stock fan on both, since it's a bit.. uhh.. quieter?

I can barely hear that silverstone compared to my 80mm =p

Ive found in using them that they both work better with higher CFM fans. I woul also have to reduce my clock because lower CFM wont cool it for anything, Ive tried lol. But I would imagine for quiet cooling a higher clock youd want something with a push/pull config like use a noctua or ultra120, or scythe no? I havent really seen anyone running high clocks with super quiet, or tuniq not at full blast.

However I would have to take the tuniqs fan off of my other computer, i hooked it up to the exhaust of a CM Mystique since it tool a 120mm and the other comp doesnt need to be as loud as my gaming/benching rig. But since you asked im sure I could do it.

[NickS]

Naw, you don't have to. That'd be a total pita. You said it yourself, the Noctua or Ultra-120 is better for silence... and that's what I'm after.

Thanks anyway dude

Listen to some Killswitch Engage long enough and the Silverstone will be quiet as a church mouse.

[enz660]

I would like to see how tuniq does once lapped to the same finish as the enzotech. It would also be nice to see the results with the same type of fan in both coolers.

Killswitch Engage is the shyt!!!!!!!!!

I used the FM121 in both the Tuniq and the Enzotech.

oohh, my mistake good job on the review bro

CHAOS, aren't those temps on the Turniq a bit high for idle? I've got a Turniq Tower using the Silverstone FM121 120mm fan and the CoolLabratory Liquid Pro metal pad on my x6800 B2 stepping @ 1.425V and it idles at 36-37 degrees. Why are your temps so high? Shouldn't you be in the low to mid 30's @ idle?

[Scyth3]

Seems like the Tuniq was raped from your results.

My room temp is almost 80F lol thats why. Case is a lil hot too. Its winter time here and below 0F

What is your OC on that X6800? reseating them I havent seen any difference from my original results, 1 or 2 C diff. I should give the tuniq a base like the enzo has and see how they stack up.

But really at this point I would say they are almost identical in performance. The varying temps could be from the finished base, or it could be from me reapplying the TIM better, kind of hard to setup a true test of that though. Im trying to do my best to get them as close as possible.

[afireinside]

Wow... Interesting results. 25mm thick fan? Could you try a 38mm thick one? Preferably a delta, sunon, or denki?

I could buy one and get it for next week if you like.


Just another reseat on the other comp. Its still coming about same if not a lil better for the enzo with the FM121 at max. I wish it wasnt so frikkin hot in here to get a lil better idea.

Oh, okay. I guess that explains my confusion.
