Testbed and Methods For Spire Verti 2

There are universal (for several processor types) and specialized (either for Intel or for AMD CPUs) cooler models in this review. This made me use two test platforms.

Socket 775

Socket 939

Processor

Intel Pentium 4 521 (2.8 GHz)

AMD Athlon X2 64 3800+ (2.0 GHz)

Mainboard

Asus P5WD2 Premium, BIOS 0606

Abit Fatal1ty AN8 SLI, BIOS 20

Memory

Corsair TWIN2X1024-8000UL

Corsair TWIN1024-4400C25

Thermal paste

Zalman

PSU

SilverStone Zeus ST65ZF (650W)

 

The platforms were placed in a thermal chamber with a constant temperature of 30°C. The processors were heated up by the S&M utility at 100% load. The CPU temperature was controlled via SpeedFan; the RM Clock Utility was used to make sure there was no thermal throttling. The coolers were all tested at the maximum fan speed.

The Tuniq Tower 120 cooler was included for the comparison’s sake as a reference product . It has got its title of a super-cooler by coping with an Intel Pentium 4 521 overclocked to 4.13GHz at 1.375V voltage and with an AMD Athlon X2 64 3800+ overclocked to 2.8GHz at 1.45V voltage. Unfortunately, none of the coolers included in this review can do anything like that. So how will we compare them? This time I’m going to take frequency as the parameter to base our comparison upon. The higher the frequency the tested cooler allows overclocking a processor to, the better the cooler is. The frequency being the same, other factors should be considered, like temperature, noise, ease of installation, etc.

The technical characteristics of the coolers are taken from the manufacturers’ websites with differences specifically mentioned where necessary.

And I’m going to begin with the Spire coolers.

Spire VertiCool II

The coolers from Spire come in standard packages that only differ in size and the model name on the sticker

Spire VertiCool 2Spire Verticool 2

Specification

Spire SP601B3 VertiCool II

Socket

Socket 754 / 940 / 775 / 939

Compatibility

Any contemporary processors from Intel and AMD

Heatsink dimensions

95 x 65 x 100 mm (L x W x H)

Detailed description

Blue transparent fan (glows in UV light)
two heatpipes
45 aluminum plates
copper sole

Fan

80 x 25 mm

Fan rotation speed

2300 RPM +/-10%

MTBF

50 000 h

Bearings

Frictionless bearing

Current

0.13 A

Power

1.56 W

Air flow

25.78 CFM

Noise

19 dBA

Thermal resistance

0.21 (AMD) and 0.23 (INTEL) o C/W

The cooler represents the typical tower-like design:

Two heat pipes take heat off the copper base:

The base is superbly polished:

The cooler comes with an LGA755 fastener already attached so you only have to screw it to the back-plate, but you also get everything necessary to use the cooler with an AMD K8 processor (another back-plate and fastener).

Spire Verti Cool 2

The Spire VertiCool II kept our Intel Pentium 4 521 processor running until a FSB frequency of 280MHz. The resulting CPU frequency was 3.93MHz. The CPU temperature was fluctuating from 67.5 to 70°C which is a very good result; the fan speed was about 2200rpm.

I must confess I had troubles trying to switch to another platform. It should have been easy as you are only supposed to replace the fastener by undoing one small screw

Spire Verti Cool 2

 

As you see, the fan is right above the screw head and you have to remove the fan to tighten the screw. So, I eventually installed the Spire VertiCool II on an AMD processor, but that was a real trouble indeed.

The Spire VertiCool II did well on our AMD Athlon X2 64 3800+, too. It allowed me to overclock the CPU to 2.7GHz at 1.4V voltage. The CPU temperature was fluctuating within a range of 61-63°C.
