Global WIN Silent Stream Review - Silent Stream Vs. Stock Intel HS/F
(Page 7 of 8 )
The Silent Stream is by no means at the same level as some of the Koolance and Corsair kits available, so I thought it'd be interesting to just see how the Silent Stream stacks up in comparison to the stock Intel HS/F. GlobalWIN promises the Silent Stream to perform 8-11°C cooler than any boxed CPU cooler at full-load. Does that claim hold true?
VS
Test Setup
Intel P4B 2.4GHz @ 3.0GHz (166.6FSB), 1.525v (default)
Abit IS7-E
CoolerMaster Wave Master case
Enermax 350w dual fan PSU
Onboard diode for temp. reading
P4 Stock HS/F
GlobalWIN Silent Stream
Temperatures were taken from winbond Hardware Monitor. Idle temps were recorded after 10 minutes of no activity and max load temps were recorded after 10 minutes of Prime95.
While the Silent Stream runs slightly warmer than the boxed P4 HS/F at idle, it keeps the CPU 9°C cooler at max load, right in the 8-11°C range given by GlobalWIN.
