The tests were run with idle temps taken after 30 minutes at desktop. Load temps with an instance of Prime95 along with Systool CPU stress test with both cores running at 100% and temps taken after 30 minutes. Ambient room temperature remained at 19.4°C (67f).
At stock settings the cooling system worked rather well, with an overclock and the voltage pushed high the cooling system performed somewhat better than the original Thermaltake Big Water.
