4GHZ i7 BUNDLE @ OcUK
Myself and Yewen have done extensive testing over the past few days to ensure that the hardware can pass stress under heavy load
the bundle was left overnight inside a cardboard box to restrict airflow whilst running prime on the cpu and furmark on a gtx 280
the temps were high but simulated a case with bad airflow
in all fairness i would recommend this bundle be put in a case with good airflow
something along the lines of an antec 900
but it has been tested in a worst case scenario environment
i originally specified a noctua cooler - but myself and Yewen noted a massive improvement in cooling performance when using a Fenrir
here is the 14hours screenshot under prime
