Testing
The following system was used in testing:
Case: Thermaltake V9 BlacX
Motherboard: MSI 890FXA-GD65
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 3.3GHz
Memory: 2x2GB Patriot Gseries DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz
Power Supply: Antec High Current Gamer 750W
Video Card: Sparkle Calibre 9800GTX+ 512MB
CPU cooling:
- Thermaltake Jing
Tests were conducted under idle and load states. The computer was left to sit after 30 minutes after being turned on to check the idle temperature. The load temperature was found by running the latest version of Prime95 which supports multi-core CPUs by default. Temperatures were obtained through SpeedFan.
| CPU Cooler | Idle (°C) | Load (°C) |
| Thermaltake Jing – High | 19°C | 39°C |
| Thermaltake Jing – Low | 19°C | 41°C |
Since each fan on the Jing had a fan adjuster knob we adjusted both to either high or low for the tests. As you can see, there’s really no difference in the idle temperature of 19°C. However there was a slight improvement of 2°C when both fans were on high fan speeds, with the load temperature at 39°C. The fans were a lot noisier on high fan speeds than I was expecting.
