then consider as what? just random typing

 

I wouldn't necessarily call it a benchmark, BUT if it has any grain of truth to it, cooler VRM's are a good thing, means they "Should" last longer, and OC a bit further.

Stuff:  i7 7700k @ (dat nibba succ) | ASRock Z170M OC Formula | G.Skill TridentZ 3600 c16 | EKWB 1080 @ 2100 mhz  |  Acer X34 Predator | R4 | EVGA 1000 P2 | 1080mm Radiator Custom Loop | HD800 + Audio-GD NFB-11 | 850 Evo 1TB | 840 Pro 256GB | 3TB WD Blue | 2TB Barracuda

I think this is what companies have to resort to, to sell "premium" z87's...

 

Unless that color was orange? Who cares. Those components running at 40C instead of 50C = the most pointless thing I can imagine. We don't even know the voltage of the test. Is this like 1.4v which no one is running anyways?

 

I understand companies needs to promote their product, but if you think  this "benchmark" means you need a premium z87 to run a Haswell? You are a sucker.

 

The VRM is on die on Haswell. If you think 50C is bad? I sure hope you don't buy an AMD 175 dollar motherboard, cus those suckers are running hotter then a budget z87, and you know what? They are completely fine to.

 

I can only imagine this "benchmark" is to combat the FACT that people with budget z87's are overclocking past ROG boards because all that matters is the chip...

CPU:24/7-4770k @ 4.5ghz/4.0 cache @ 1.22V override, 1.776 VCCIN. MB: Z87-G41 PC Mate. Cooling: Hyper 212 evo push/pull. Ram: Gskill Ares 1600 CL9 @ 2133 1.56v 10-12-10-31-T1 150 TRFC. Case: HAF 912 stock fans (no LED crap). HD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB. Display: Dell S2340M IPS. GPU: Sapphire Tri-x R9 290. PSU:CX600M OS: Win 7 64 bit/Mac OS X Mavericks, dual boot Hackintosh.

How is this "fake"? Seems valid way to compare chipset heatsinks. I don't know who will care since everything under 70C is safe zone anyway. And having hot mobo components isn't reducing any performance.

vvvv Who's there? vvvv
