Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer vs Xigmatek S1283 Testing

Nick89 · Mar 14, 2009, 03:47 AM

I just got a Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer and I'm going to test it against my Xigmatek S1283.

Processor used: Phenom II 940
OC: 3.6Ghz 1.4V
Testing programs used: OCCT, Core Temp.

The Test
__________________________________________________ __________________________________

Room temperature is 71F/21.6C

Xigmatek S1283 Idle Temperature (Stock) after 20mins: 35C
Xigmatek S1283 100% Load Temperature (stock) after 40mins: 48C

Xigmatek S1283 Idle Temperature With 3.6Ghz OC after 20 mins: 36C
Xigmatek S1283 100% Load Temperature With 3.6Ghz OC after 40mins: 55C

Core Contact Freezer Idle Temperature (Stock) after 20mins: 38C
Core Contact Freezer 100% Load Temperature (stock) after 40mins: 52C

Core Contact Freezer Idle Temperature With 3.6Ghz OC after 1 hour: 40C
Core Contact Freezer 100% Load Temperature With 3.6Ghz OC after 40mins: 60C

TESTING STOPPED

I've ended testing, This cooler was so hard to install I almost destroyed my processor when I was installing it.

CONCLUSION: Horrible.

The more you show for comparison, the better your review. Go for it!

freaksavior · Mar 14, 2009, 03:57 AM

like binge said, use multi programs to test

Nick89 · Mar 14, 2009, 04:32 AM

Well the only temperature program that I know is accurate is Coretemp. Any other programs I should use?

sneekypeet · Mar 14, 2009, 04:34 AM

I think Foxconn has software on the disc, and maybe Everest.

What are you using to test? Try OCCT 3.0 if you havent yet. has nice charts you can use for temps and things.

I used two instances of orthos with 9 priority for load tests. and I'm using Core temp and now OCCT 3.01 Also. OCCT and Coretemp read the same temperatures for me.

I've ended testing. This cooler was so hard to install I thought I was going to break something.

What were the voltage on the 3.6 overclock?

bloodfury666 · Aug 12, 2009, 12:11 PM

just go look there about any review for heatsink :} http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm that site got full review on amost any heatsink http://www.frostytech.com/articlevie...articleID=2271 vs http://www.frostytech.com/articlevie...articleID=2333 2vs8

I've know about that site for a long time. The CCF seems to work good on Intels but for AMD it is absolutly terrible.

This is just a review I did becasue of the great reviews on THAT site. I wanted to compare my results.

Pinchy · Aug 12, 2009, 04:50 PM

Isn't the AMD setup similar to the intel, only you use a different clip to connect?

If so, it isn't that hard to connect, as long as you MAKE SURE that you are installing the SHORT side of the clip BEFORE the long side. The clip on the CCF does actually have one longer side than the other. It is only VERY slight, but it will make a difference which side you install first.

It was never indicated in the manual I got with it. I reinstalled the CCF 4 times and didnt get any temp differances and I used two different thermal pastes(AS5 and TX2)

bloodfury666 · Aug 12, 2009, 04:54 PM

if you got bad result try to lap both

I returned the CCF. I'm certain the reason for the bad temps was the way you have to mount the CCF.

Are you sure you read it correctly?

http://www.sunbeamtech.com/PRODUCTS/...120-manual.jpg

Step 2: Hook the shorter side of the mounting clip...

Zubasa · Aug 12, 2009, 05:42 PM

Good to see the temps on that Xigmatek.
My CPU loads at around the same core temps at 3.7Ghz 1.488V.

Well right now... Nothing will read my core temps with my L3 cache unlock.

Must not have seen that, or it wasnt in my manual.

Uninstallation was much worse than installation though.

Can't agree more.
