I'm currently working on a series of cooler reviews that we have in the backlog. I've got a new cooling rig designed with the Thermaltake Core P5 "case" and I'm using the Intel 10980XE as the heat generator for the testing. I figured it would be nice to have some comparison data from a known commodity, so I ordered a fresh Hyper 212 EVO so I could have some good comparison data on hand.
Let's just say this went fairly poorly. Running Cinebench R20 at stock speeds (3.8GHz All-Core) managed to send temps up to 98c and by the second pass thermal throttling kicked in.
I suppose I'll want to rethink the platform for testing aircoolers, however, this chip seems great with the AIOs. I'll just say that that the first AIO on deck makes a claim that it can handle 500W+ loads and the 10980XE delivers just that at 4.7GHz All-Core.
