[Vapor] IFX-14 vs. Ultra-120 eXtreme (and others!)

[Vapor]

Dual ORTHOS is used (via manual affinity setting and two separate .exe's) for loading. At 3.2GHz with slow RAM on the quad, I've found that between the 4:40 to 5:10 time marks is a very, very hot, very temp-stable period. At 5:10 (or so), Test 2 on all four cores concludes and temps wobble (at a much lower temp) for the next 15min. At the 5min mark I read what Coretemp .94 says and average all four cores. No sense waiting for 20+min every single config to get a slightly hotter temp when this one is so hot and so consistent.

The "IFX-14, no back w/ the S-Flex D" had two cores at 96C at that point. I don't think the Infinity or the TTBT will be able to remain stable through that test, lol.

Wow 96c

I'm really impressed from what both are yielding for results. I'm coming a Zalman CNPS 9700 where Prime*cpu stress no ram* goes to 71c and idle averages 39-42c.

So for me, those temps look incredible, at least from my standpoint. The backplate actually appears to be making a fair difference.

These are deltas over ambient....so add ~23C to each one for averaged core temps at the 5min mark.

Doing the Infinity tests right now (so much easier to mount and mount fans....lol). Only done S-Flex D and E so far, but it's holding its own against the IFX-14 (D really beat the IFX-14, E was a minute loss....higher CFM should pull the IFX-14 ahead even further)

I really want to see others' results with their IFX-14. I'm hoping/fearing that mine is a dud.

(btw, all HSFs and tests are done with stock base and stock mounting unless otherwise stated)
