Test Setup
When testing components, it’s generally a very simple task, but for sites like us, we need to give you fair comparisons of exactly how they perform. That means the preparation is a vital part of the testing environment. We need to make sure that the ambient room temperature is consistent, and the parts used for the tests.
Here is a list of the components used in our testing rig:
| Test System | |
|---|---|
| Processor (CPU) | AMD Phenom II X6 1090T |
| Motherboard | Asus Crosshair IV Formula |
| Memory (RAM) | 8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1800MHz |
| Graphics Card | AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB |
| Primary Hard Drive | Kingston V+ Series 64GB SSD x 2 (Raid 0) |
| Power Supply | BFG EX Series 1200watt |
| Operating System | Windows 7 Professional 64-bit |
I have one of these in the push-pull config on an i5-750 at 3.2GHz, runs nice and cool!
What kind of temps are you getting from it with push/pull?
