We repeated the testing procedures with our Intel Core i7 2600K CPU overclocked to 4.4GHz using a BIOS voltage of 1.240V which crept up to a maximum of 1.288V under load conditions. We must remind you that we have discovered our processor runs slightly hotter than usual, but seeing as all tests use the same CPU, the results aren’t biased.
As the extra heat is applied, the Genesis starts to pull away from the mid-range Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and Enermax ETS-T40-VD. Thermaltake’s Frio Advanced has managed a performance improvement which boosts it ahead of the Genesis, alongside Noctua’s NH-D14. Performance just a degree short of the Frio Advanced and NH-D14 is very respectable given the low-speed fans used on the Genesis. On the other hand, Prolimatech’s Megahalems uses the same 1000 RPM fans and musters up a victory over all 3 of the aforementioned coolers. Both the mighty Phanteks PH-TC14PE and Thermalright Silver Arrow prove their worth with performance leads of 5°C and 4.5°C, respectively.
