Q6600 Temperature Testing

Idle Temperature Results




What else can you say but WOW. These numbers are certainly impressive and not only show how effective the dual heatsink concept is but also underlines how important static pressure is. After all, the Scythe F fan that is on the Ultima 90 produces more CFM but it can’t hold a candle to the pure power of the Hong Sheng fan. Thermaltake definitely made a wise decision in picking that fan over cheaper alternatives.


Average Load Temperature Results




When all is said and done it looks like once again the march of progress has claimed another casualty. The newer and more advanced design “Tower Style” coolers simply outclass this once great cooler. Even though it is no longer the “best of the best” it still posted some reasonable numbers and considering the fact that back in ’05 there was no such thing as quad core CPU’s, Thermaltake’s engineers’ have nothing to be ashamed of.
