TRUE got beated (PICs INSIDE)

[breathemetal]

Few numbers for the V10 that people might find interesting:

41, 140

(day of the year it launches, MSRP in USD)

140? that isnt too bad.
hmm. i might have to get this

[Vapor]

But is it possible?

I may try it with my TRUE, sanding it down to the heatpipes.

HDT heatpipes are specially made heatpipes...but you could take down the base of the TRUE to withing probably 1mm of the heatpipes and not have to worry about structural damage when you mount it

Yeah, I guess.

I could sand down most of the base until the heatpipes are visible, but I am afraid they will fall out because there is no glue (or some other substance) holding them to the rest of the base.

They're soldered in

I don't know if the TRUE's heatpipes are as physically strong as HDT heatpipes though...too much pressure on one when you go to mount it and it might break, that'd be my worry (though it's probably not valid).

Well no one has tried it yet.

I'm very curious for the result.

Nice!
If i do get one im takin out those red led fans though
Throw some low rpm s-flex's in it. Nice and quiet

wow 130!!!!! i can get a recertified complete water cooling setup in thermaltake for 100 bucks

TT WC = epic fail

I'd rather the V10 w/TEC

at this price it sure better beat 'normal' TRUE - & @ this price it better be darn close/equal to TRUE-Cu

Even if it comes close to a TRUECu....it has to compete in terms of value with a Mugen 2 that's $100 less expensive...



Minor test details (this is just a teaser), that's a lapped and washer modded TRUECu vs. a stock Mugen 2. <1900RPM is an S-Flex G (or 2) and at ~2950RPM is an Ultra Kaze 3000 (or 2). Average of three mounts for each. dT = Average loaded temp minus average ambient temp over a 10 minute span of sustained load via OCCT. QX6700 running at 8x400 with 1.45v loaded

[Simps]

Vapor, that QX6700 at high volts, would be the PERFECT cpu to test those high end aircoolers. That is one moster cpu in terms of heat. You know that, I am sure. No newer cpu can't put that kinda stress to the heatsink without chip killing volts. People testing this high end coolers with 65W quads, and dual cores, are clueless. With these low heat chips, the results can be just random.

I hope you can get a V10 soon, and make a direct comparison with that QX6700, between V10, TRUEcu, TRUE, MUGEN2 and other goodies if possible. But the V10 x TRUEcu is obviously the most awaited one.

And please, use Panaflo's 38mm on the review if possible.

To be honest, if you do this kinda review, I won't need to look into any other review of these coolers. This would be the perfect comparison.

[Vapor]

I probably won't be getting a V10, too expensive considering its lack of usefulness for me. Only reason I got a TRUECu, other than its inherent improvement over a TRUE, is because I could just plop it on a board with no mounting bracket and it was heavy and compact enough to maintain good to great contact

And no Panaflos...not suited for HSF testing Not enough RPM range is the biggest reason (IMO, it really helps both testing quickness and the usefulness of interpolation if you use the same fan for as much of the RPM range as possible), the other is that by now it's an atypical fan to find in systems--even the L1 is too loud for most people's tastes. A lot of HSFs these days also somewhat abandon support for 38mm thick fans (Mugen 2 is one of them)

I'll be adding to and fully fleshing out this review over time, each HSF takes about 1.5-2 days to test if I dedicate all my free time to it On the bench right now is a S1284EE

I'll always recommend looking at all well-done reviews, the more data points the better considering the inherent variation in HSFs

[jdmR]

the mugen 2 looks good!!!! looks like ill be replacin the s1283 soon. awaiting ur reviews

[Ubermann]

ULGY ??
I love it no matter ifs not the best cooler!
Its a nice piece of design in my eyes!

[NeedMoMegaHurtZ]

^ Interesting results, Vapour. Look forward to your full results

Mugen 2 is a steal of a deal for $40-50

Thanks Vapor for a review. Was the pushpull on Mugen2 using 2xslipstream or 2xUltra Kaze fans ?

My temperature dropped by good 4C on load with two fans (stock slipstream & ultra kaze 2k) on adjacent sides.

[NeedMoMegaHurtZ]

It tells you right under the graph

<1900RPM is an S-Flex G (or 2) and at ~2950RPM is an Ultra Kaze 3000 (or 2)

[icecold316]

<1900RPM is an S-Flex G (or 2) and at ~2950RPM is an Ultra Kaze 3000 (or 2)

That is what confused me. Since Mugen 2 was not tested under 3000 RPM or in short beyond 2k rpm. Was the ultra kaze 3k RPM used in testing.

Nevermind, finally understood the meaning of it.

[Vapor]

Mugen 2 doesn't include clips that work with 38mm fans so I didn't bother putting the UK3s on it
