Spire TherMax Pro CPU Cooler

Testing

Idle temps were measured by Everest after the rig sat idle for 30 minutes. Load temps were attained by running the latest version of Prime95 Torture Test, Large FFTs, for 30 minutes. Ambient room temperature was 72F.

I really didn’t know what to expect since this is the first time I’m testing this processor’s temps, but these temps definitely aren’t bad for a 90mm cooler. But, as always, the real test is after the CPU is overclocked.

I overclocked the CPU from the stock 2.8gHz to a 25% overclock of 3.28gHz. I also cranked the Vcore up to AMD’s recommended max of 1.425v.

    Reminds me of the Core Contact heatsink ;)

    i like the uv reactive fan, adds to the look of the case

    I'd go with a regular LED fan instead.

    “Ambient room temperature was 72F.” I think you should be consistent and report the temperatures all in the same unit. Kind of confusing, at first i misread and thought u tested at like extreme temperatures.

    $35 isn't that bad but it would be price a little less.

    Thats why he put a “F” symbol for Fahrenheit.

    If it helps, 72°F is about 22°C.

  • lewislau
    No, i know how to convert from farenheit to celcius (Farehneit-32 * 5/9), just saying he should have put everything in celsius to stay consistent. If you look at his graphs they are celsius, and if you're skimming through, the 72F throws you off.

    True however the value of the ambient temperature isn't what matters.
  • lewislau
    It does affect the temperatures of the cpu though, because if the ambient temperature is higher, less heat can be transferred from the sink to the environment and therefore, it will be less efficient.
  • lewislau
    It does matter, because the ambient temperature changes the efficiency of the heatsink to dissipate heat to the environment

    What I meant to say is that it doesn't matter if the ambient temperature is in Fahrenheit or Celsius; that is irrelevant. The temperature results of the cooler is what matters most.

    This isn't a review about whether or not the ambient temperature should be mentioned in Fahrenheit or Celsius LOL
