I run this on a cooler EVGA GTX660 Ti OC with unlocked BIOS (Power Limit unlock) and schnuckeligem max clock of 1280 MHz. The reference cooler MAXIMUM were 1140 MHz possible at 89 degrees Celsius. That's a gigantic difference of 140 MHz. And now, please hold. Under Furmark, and the benchmark is known for bringing cards to their maximum temperature, the card will not be warmer than 64 degrees Celsius. Now please hold again. The 64 degrees at whisper-quiet 50% fan speed reached (with MSI Afterburner adapted fan profile). It would also be cool possible, but that's not for me the intention.
So that means that this cooler allows overclocking strong at extremely quiet noise level.
Once again, for the record:
Before: max. 1140 MHz with well audible soundscape and 89 degrees Celsius ...
After: max. 1280 MHz when not out of the system of audible noise and 64 degrees Celsius!
The only drawback:
You have to take some time, and you should have two skilled hands. The conversion is not exactly the easiest. We must proceed carefully and bring places be patient when "fumbling". However, this is normal in such cooling solutions, and therefore no reason for me to withdraw from stars.
Short Conclusion:
processed -good
-Very good cooling performance
-very low noise (be pastes fan profile via MSI Afterburner)
-only for advanced hobbyists
For me, a strong buy recommendation!
