Q6600 Performance Results

Idle Temperatures


It is unfortunate that the great results that we saw with the dual core does not translate to great Quad core results. Now, these number are certainly good and are the best we have seen from a downdraft cooler but the more efficient tower style does start to make a difference.


Average Load Temperatures


When it is all said and done this cooler definitely kicks all other downdraft coolers arse and certainly deserves the title of “King of the Downdraft Coolers” but even being the best of the downdrafts only makes it an above average cooler in general and the newer and more efficient exposed base heatpipe coolers (e.g OCZ Vendetta 2, Xigmatek, etc.) have nothing to fear from the NH-C12P.
