Test Results
We have added in results for the Intel Stock Cooler and an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. This will give you an idea of how it performs, compared to other cooling products. The ambient temperature throughout testing was constantly around 26°, only differing by a degree at the most.
For the Stock testing we tested the Z600 with no fans attatched, this gives you a good idea of how it will perform 'out of the box' with just the case fans for airflow.

As you can see, the Z600 sits pretty much in the middle of the group here, however, since it is completely silent the results are rather good.
Here the Z600 pulls out quite a lead. The temperatures raise only a small amount compared to idle, where as the Freezer 7 and Stock cooler go up by quite a margin. A very impressive result for the Z600.
With the CPU now at 3Ghz it was kicking out quite a lot of heat. However, the Z600 (now with fans attached) handled it without breaking into a sweat and easily beat the Freezer 7 by quite a margin; another good result.
Once again the Z600 proved to be extremely capable. It easily beat the Freezer 7 and kept the Q6600 at very reasonable temperatures. The Z600 cooler has proven that it is a very capable partner to a hot running quad-core.

Cheers Jim, Brings warmth to your heart seeing it up there live!
A big thanks goes to yourself and the whole OC3D team as well, top chaps!

Could you give temps with the two fans attached @ 1.4v?
Haven't gotten a chance to read through it yet, but something to mention is that on the graphs themselves the stock ones should explicitly say it was run passive and the OC'ed ones should explicitly say run with fans. Tons of people who look up cooler reviews only look at the graphs and don't actually read any of the review itself.

I misread the latter text and thought that it was still passive when OCed.

It looks a bit like a cross shaped version of the Scythe Ninja.
Great review, but, should the passive cooling test last for a bit longer, because even with the best heatsink in the world, over time the fins would heat up and the temperature of the processor would increase. Maybe if you had a time vs. temperature for the cooler it would be helpful.
On another point, would this handle the QX9770 (at 4.0 ghz), I move my computer far too much to want to water cool it, so I need decent air cooling. I'm getting idles of 51, 52, 36, 41 and loads (after 20 mins of cpu burn at 100% cpu usage) of 59, 57, 58, 61

If you put fans on it, I would expect it to handle that quite easily, Especially if your current cooler is....
If we tested for an hour, there would be someone who would say 2, and so on. At the end of the day, 15 minutes is enough IMO

Fair enough, if the results are very similar across that time, it would still be nice to see some time vs. temperature graphs. Great review though.
Also, a quick remount later, turned out the thermal paste hadn't spread properly, was a sort of thick layer on the middle, bit of scraping out solved everything. Now in the mid 40-s for 1 and 2 and low 40s for 3 and 4.

Sorry, to clarify, i thought your review was done very thoroughly, when I remounted my cooler, the temps dropped. Sorry for the confusion!
