Nick89 · Mar 14, 2009

I just got a Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer and I'm going to test it against my Xigmatek S1283.

Processor used: Phenom II 940
OC: 3.6Ghz 1.4V
Testing programs used: OCCT, Core Temp.

I've ended testing, This cooler was so hard to install I almost destroyed my processor when I was installing it.

CONCLUSION: Horrible.

The more you show for comparison, the better your review. Go for it! :toast:

like binge said, use multi programs to test

Nick89 · Mar 14, 2009

Well the only temperature program that I know is accurate is Coretemp. Any other programs I should use?

I think Foxconn has software on the disc, and maybe Everest.

What are you using to test? Try OCCT 3.0 if you havent yet. has nice charts you can use for temps and things.

I used two instances of orthos with 9 priority for load tests. and I'm using Core temp and now OCCT 3.01 Also. OCCT and Coretemp read the same temperatures for me.

I've ended testing. This cooler was so hard to install I thought I was going to break something.

I've know about that site for a long time. The CCF seems to work good on Intels but for AMD it is absolutly terrible.

This is just a review I did becasue of the great reviews on THAT site. I wanted to compare my results.

Pinchy · Aug 12, 2009

Isn't the AMD setup similar to the intel, only you use a different clip to connect?

If so, it isn't that hard to connect, as long as you MAKE SURE that you are installing the SHORT side of the clip BEFORE the long side. The clip on the CCF does actually have one longer side than the other. It is only VERY slight, but it will make a difference which side you install first.

It was never indicated in the manual I got with it. I reinstalled the CCF 4 times and didnt get any temp differances and I used two different thermal pastes(AS5 and TX2)

bloodfury666 · Aug 12, 2009

if you got bad result try to lap both

I returned the CCF. I'm certain the reason for the bad temps was the way you have to mount the CCF.

Are you sure you read it correctly?

Step 2: Hook the shorter side of the mounting clip...

Zubasa · Aug 12, 2009

Good to see the temps on that Xigmatek.
My CPU loads at around the same core temps at 3.7Ghz 1.488V.

Well right now... Nothing will read my core temps with my L3 cache unlock.

Must not have seen that, or it wasnt in my manual.

Uninstallation was much worse than installation though.

Can't agree more.
