Using the following system configuration, we'll use the Eliminator CPU Cooler and measure CPU temperatures with a motherboard utility, under stock speeds and overclocked to 2.7 GHz. In order to stress the CPU, Prime95 was used. To overclock the CPU, the bus speed was jacked to 337 MHz, while the core voltage was raised to 1.336V.

The results are very impressive. The CoolIT Eliminator managed to reduce temperatures by up to 20 degrees C. The performance difference between low and mid settings isn't that remarkable, but the difference between low and high certainly is. Noise levels are actually quite acceptable even on the highest setting, but more so if you're playing a game or using headsets.
