Unboxing V8 (Cooler From Antarctica)

[HMS1193]

Congrats on the purchase man. Well i cant see the images (On Vphone atm) so can ya tell me the load & idle temps in writing?

Thanks...Bro! the load temps are 32C and at idle im getting 16-17C

 

[StrikerX]

Nice temps. how much did ya oc the cpu so far?
argh.... i have 6k in my pocket atm & i cant decide btw n520 & V8 lol

I havent Oc the cpu yet..btw go for the V8 ,its so awesome...

bro dere is a very little difference in temps(1C or 2C) ,so its better to go for n520,save money for some other upgrades!!!

 

[HMS1193]

Here are the OC results....I ran OCCT for 6 min's.

 

[usmankh10]

awesome temps hassan u can take ur i5 to 4ghz easily widout any heating issues!!!!show us v8 performance on 4ghz

 

[LiV3 WiR3]

^^Not Bad!!!.Not Bad at all.

 

[Bluff Master]

very good results, that's chip has potential go beyond 4ghz with this cooling

 

[HMS1193]

Thanks everyone.. I'll try to O.C it above 4ghz but need some help as i did this O.C by asus turbo v evo in easy mode ,Oh and will arctic silver 5 help in further reducing the temps??

No need to get Arctic silver 5. The paste with V8 is good enough.

Look at this for overclocking help:

Good purchase man.

1. Some really good load temps there.
2. Try running the Linkpack test in OCCT too, to check teh temps.
3. Isnt the V8 and youe VGA card a little too close for comfort?
4. Post lower sized images next time Couldnt open some of em fully on a 1MBPS connection.

First of all thanks..

Yep! Both of them are a bit too close ,but it's fine cuz the temps of gpu are fine and i cant put the gpu in the other slot cuz its running at 4x.

And yeah i'll post pics in the correct format next time..

Nice unboxing presentation
Congratulations on the awesome purchase, looks pretty good with ur rig

 

[WAQAx]

congratz on the purchase buddyyyy.....very nice upgrade.....

Do run the Linkpack test in OCCT to check the max load temps. Its called the burn test and really pushes the CPU to the limit.

now that what i call cooling. Sorry for a nooby question but is the cool thing only for the cpu? isn't that way to much cooling for a tiny cpu

haha....yes ,the cooler thingy is only for the cpu.. and no it isnt much for us overclockers..

Here are the linpack benchmarks....

^^
Good overclock on that low vcore, push it to 4.0Ghz atleast.

Once again, a really good result there with the Linpack test. This seems to be one cool chip and the V8s really doing its job well. 46c max with the Linpack is no mean feat. (Y)
