[Review] Round 2: Swiftech Apogee XT Tested

[Martinm210]

I guess I better get hold of swiftech. I am seeing the opposite results.

using a swiftech MCP-655 pump, I am seeing the XT having 5-10C higher temps on a 4.5Ghz i5-2500K than my old swiftech GTZ when under full load.

both are within 1C of each other when at Idle, but I never run idle.

i have checked everything and just cannot get the temps down on my XT.

This wasn't a Sandy Bridge test

There hasn't been any CPU block testing on sandy bridge that I know of, so we really don't know what the heat signature is like in SB and it may very well behave differently.

Also FYI, 5-10C difference is likely something else. An accurate comparison of any two blocks is very unlikely to be anything more than 4C.
