For our tests we will be using LinX generates a tremendous amount of heat for CPU stress testing. We let the system Idle in Windows for 10 minutes and record the idle temps then run LinX and get our maximum temperature. Once that is finished we then overclock the CPU and repeat this process. The temperatures are reported as rise over ambient. Our ambient temperatures are 22°C.
Test Setup:
- ASUS SabertoothX58 Intel i-7 950 CPU
- Patriot 6GB DDR3-1600
- Sparkle 1250W PSU
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
So how does the Enermax ETS-T40-TB perform? Let's take a look. First up, stock settings:
Idle temperatures are in the low 30's, which full load just crosses the 60°C threshold. That's pretty good. Let's see what happens when we overclock the CPU:
Overclocked to 4.0GHz, the average temps at idle site at just over 40°C. When we crank up the heat, going 100% load for 3 passes running Linx at and an overclock of 4.0GHz on an 8-threaded CPU generates a tremendous amount of heat. Although it maintained this test for 3 passes at 100% load with no crash, I would not recommend pushing your CPU this hard for extended periods of time.
The results when overclocked are again pretty good, not the best we've seen, but the tower does very well considering it runs extremely quiet. That's a difficult achievement; normally top towers have noisy fans to product high airflows, or else they're quiet but are poor thermal performers.
