Overclocking Testing:

As the Frio is designed for overclocking, the FSB was adjusted from 200MHz to 216MHz, which isn't a huge overclock, however that is the best I have been able to push the ECS A770M-A motherboard.

The same tests detailed on the previous page were repeated at the elevated clock speed. The first chart details the idle results, while the second chart details the load results.



As to be expected, the temperatures went up a little when the CPU was overclocked. Overall, they went up between 4 and 6 degrees between the idle and load test. The results were similar to the previous test, and the Ultra Products TEC performed a little better than the Frio by between 1 and 4 degrees. The Frio still cooled the CPU better than the stock cooler by 16 degrees.
