CoolJag Falcon 92-CU CPU Cooler Review

Stock Performance Testing


Q6600 Idle



Here we can see that the Falcon 92-CU was able to easily handle the thermal load and meanwhile it was very quiet while doing it. Of course, the Ultima 90’s more efficient design already did start show how hollow CoolJag’s boast about “The Best Air Cooler in the Market” really is.


Q6600 Average Load



This test really shows the limitations of the Falcon 92-CU’s fan and they seem to be quite profound limitations. All that copper and all that great TIM all means nothing when the fan is only spinning at a constant 1300RPM.

Please note: the Ultima 90 was not at its thermal limits; rather this is how far this particular q6600 will OC with 1.45volts. If we had been willing to increase the vCore to 1.5 volts 3.6GHz is possible but it is outside our comfort zone.

At this point the first thing we thought that could be the problem is the TIM was either “bad” or improperly applied. A quick cleaning and application of MX-2 compound showed similar (yet slightly worse) results and quickly disabused us of that notion. The next thing we checked was the seating of the cooler. It was seated properly and was tightened down properly. This left only the fan and its “smart” thermistor.
